Hyperfolio vs Bullpen: Portfolio Tracker PWA vs HL Trading CLI

Bullpen is a trading platform with a powerful CLI for Hyperliquid, Solana and Polymarket: balance queries, positions, order execution, HIP-3 multi-DEX and JSON export for scripts. Hyperfolio is a native portfolio tracker with personal perp PnL, Smart Money, WebSocket Markets, push alerts, multi-venue aggregation (HL + AsterDEX + Lighter + Robinhood) and wallet tracker with Top 100. Both read Hyperliquid data — but solve different stack layers.

Bullpen answers: how do I query HL status from terminal, execute orders with flags and export positions to JSON for automation? Hyperfolio answers: what's my floating PnL per perp, what did this Top 100 wallet open and how do I get push alerts when it trades?

This comparison covers feature tables, differences between execution CLI and tracking PWA, honest advantages of each tool, combined workflow and when to use Bullpen, Hyperfolio or both.

Two product approaches

• Bullpen: CLI + trading — status, balances, orders, TWAP, HIP-3 and diagnostics from terminal
• Hyperfolio: portfolio tracker PWA — personal PnL, Smart Money, push alerts and wallet follow-up
• Bullpen: oriented to power users, scripts and execution with connected wallet
• Hyperfolio: free read-only PWA with Perp Calculator, Markets and Top 100 leaderboard

Hyperfolio vs Bullpen — comparison

Why Bullpen can't replace a portfolio tracker

Bullpen excels at terminal operations: account status, spot+perp balances, open orders, historical fills, TWAP and HIP-3 scope with --all-dexes. It's an execution and diagnostics tool for power users. But it doesn't offer Smart Money with open filters, push alerts when a followed wallet trades, or a visual dashboard with Markets, Top 100 leaderboard and unified AsterDEX, Lighter and Robinhood aggregation.

A trader executing with Bullpen CLI still needs to review consolidated PnL visually, follow leaderboard wallets and receive mobile alerts when top traders open positions. Bullpen informs execution and account state; Hyperfolio informs operational follow-up, copy-trading and multi-venue view in a PWA.

Bullpen advantages

• Complete Hyperliquid CLI: status, balances, orders, fills and TWAP
• HIP-3 multi-DEX support with --all-dexes for registered DEX positions
• JSON export for script integration and custom trackers
• Multichain portfolio: Hyperliquid, Solana and Polymarket in one stack
• Read-only account diagnostics for support and debugging
• Read-only mode (--read-only) for safe queries without mutations
• Powerful tool for automation and technical traders

Hyperfolio advantages for Hyperliquid

• Unrealized and realized PnL per perp with leverage and LONG/SHORT side
• Smart Money: top trader open radar with $10K/$25K/$50K+ filters
• Markets: WebSocket candlestick charts and technical signal per market
• Wallet tracker with Top 100 30d PnL leaderboard + full portfolio per wallet
• Push copy-trading alerts even with PWA closed
• Aggregated HL + AsterDEX + Lighter + Robinhood portfolio in one dashboard
• Free, read-only, no wallet connect or private keys

Can I use Bullpen and Hyperfolio together?

Yes — common flow: Bullpen to execute orders and query status from terminal; Hyperfolio to review visual PnL, follow leaderboard wallets with push alerts and monitor Smart Money. They're complementary: Bullpen on the execution layer, Hyperfolio on intelligence and follow-up.

Combined workflow

• Execution: Bullpen CLI for orders and account status
• Review: Hyperfolio PnL, margin and risk per perp
• Discovery: Hyperfolio Smart Money + Top 100 leaderboard
• Follow-up: Hyperfolio wallet tracker + push alerts

Bullpen vs Hyperfolio multi-venue aggregation

Bullpen covers Hyperliquid, Solana and Polymarket via CLI with JSON export. Hyperfolio aggregates HL + AsterDEX + Lighter + Robinhood in one unified visual panel with PnL per venue. If you trade on multiple perp DEXes (HL + Aster + Lighter), Hyperfolio offers consolidated view without scripts. Bullpen is superior for automation; Hyperfolio for visual reading and alerts.

User profiles

Power user / bot trader

Bullpen as main execution tool. Hyperfolio optional to review visual PnL and follow top wallets with push alerts when not in terminal.

Active trader with own portfolio

Hyperfolio as daily tool. Bullpen optional if you prefer CLI for quick queries. Hyperfolio covers Smart Money, alerts and multi-venue that Bullpen doesn't offer as PWA.

Leaderboard wallet copy-trader

Hyperfolio primary. You need push alerts, fill feed and Smart Money — Bullpen queries addresses but doesn't offer operational follow-up with mobile notifications.

Checklist: do you need Hyperfolio if you already use Bullpen?

• Want push alerts when a followed wallet trades? → Yes, Hyperfolio
• Looking for Smart Money with open filters? → Yes, Hyperfolio
• Trade on AsterDEX, Lighter or Robinhood besides HL? → Yes, Hyperfolio
• Only execute from CLI and don't follow other wallets? → Bullpen may suffice
• Want Top 100 leaderboard with portfolio per wallet? → Yes, Hyperfolio

Conclusion

Bullpen dominates CLI execution and automation on Hyperliquid; Hyperfolio dominates personal portfolio, Smart Money, push alerts and visual multi-venue aggregation. For leaderboard copy-trading and daily operational follow-up, Hyperfolio is essential even if you use Bullpen for trading. Try it free at app.hyperfolio.fun with demo mode.
