# Introduction

## The Gates of Alpha Gardeners are open for everyone!

After 3 years of hard work, we finally decided to expand and **introduce a Free option for non-holders.** 

* Free users can now **buy Presets on the Marketplace** from our holders and **apply them directly in the Sniper to auto-snipe tokens**.
* These **presets were created through endless hours of backtesting in our Backtester App, using over 5 months of historical data.** Plenty of alerts and attributes were taken into consideration.
* And if you’d like to become a holder and unlock way more [benefits ](/alpha-gardeners-scanner-and-free-sniper/sniper-guide/holder-perks.md)than the Free mode offers, you can also create your own presets, sell them to other users, and much more — [**simply become a Gardener!**](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/alpha_gardener)
