# 16. Choosing the Right TradingView Plan for Custom Strategies with Perpbot

Perpbot custom strategies relies heavily on **webhook alerts**, so TradingView’s plan & alert limits matter.

* **Free / Basic**
  * Not suitable for Perpbot
* **Essential**
  * Up to **20 active alerts**.
  * **Webhook support**.
  * Alerts **expire after 1 month -** you must renew them manually every month.
  * Good for a few automated strategies and basic Perpbot usage.
* **Plus**
  * Up to **100 active alerts**.
  * Webhook support.
  * Alerts **expire after 2 months -** you must renew them manually every 2 months.
  * Good if you run multiple pairs/strategies.
* **Premium (and above)**
  * Up to **400 active alerts.**
  * Webhook support.
  * **Deep Backtesting** - Test as far back as you want
  * **Alerts never expire**, which is huge for “fire-and-forget” automation.
  * If you want fire-and-forget or want to run many alerts on different tokens, this would be suitable for you.

**For Perpbot:**

* If you want to setup automation and forget then **Premium** plan is best
* If you pick a plan **below Premium**, remember:
  * Alerts expire around **every 1–2 months**.
  * Set a recurring calendar reminder to **extend or recreate alerts** before they lapse.
