#What are Tapetide's limitations?

• No mobile app. Use the website in a mobile browser.
• No trading. You cannot place orders, and it does not read broker accounts; portfolio tools track holdings you enter.
• No live tick feed. Prices are the latest available quote; option chains are end-of-day snapshots for 4 indices.
• No price alerts or backtesting engine. Account alerts cover corporate actions, filings, news and a daily summary for your stocks, not price triggers.
• AI caps below Enterprise. Free allows 10 TapeAi questions a day (50 a month), and the largest self-serve plan, Pro+, allows 1,500 a month. Only Enterprise is unlimited.
• No refunds. Use the 7-day trial to decide.
• India only. NSE and BSE equities; no US stocks.
• Younger platform. Fewer independent reviews than older Indian research sites.
• Not advice. Tapetide is not SEBI-registered and gives no buy or sell calls.
