# Billing

## Introduction

We believe in **transparent**, **flexible**, and **usage-based pricing** that adjusts to your needs, whether you're just starting out or scaling a complex trading setup. Our model is designed to give you full control over your costs, with **no fixed monthly fees** or hidden charges. Instead, you're billed based on **actual usage**, calculated daily, so you only pay for what you use.

This page provides a complete overview of how our billing system works. You’ll find clear breakdowns of pricing for **shared and dedicated projects**, optional **pro features**, **dedicated IPs**, and **volume discounts**. We also explain how billing is managed across regions, how to interpret your invoice, and where to find your **real-time cost forecast**. Plus, new users benefit from a **$20 free trial credit** to get started risk-free.

## Subscription Model

Our pricing is built around a **pay-per-account model**, with costs calculated on a **daily basis**. Each account (whether a **master** or **slave)** is counted individually, and your monthly invoice reflects the **average number of active accounts** maintained throughout the month. This ensures pricing stays **fair**, **proportional**, and **easy to understand**.

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, if you have 4 accounts connected for 15 days and 2 accounts connected for 30 days, the total usage is **120 account-days**. This is calculated as:

* **4 accounts × 15 days = 60 account-days**
* **2 accounts × 30 days = 60 account-days**
* **Total: 120 account-days**

The cost is then **120 account-days × 0.27 USD**, which equals **USD 32.40**.

On your invoice, the **120 account-days** will be divided by the number of days in the month (e.g., **30 days**), resulting in an **average of 4 accounts** (rounded).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If an account is deployed and then removed immediately, it will still count as **1 account-day** on your usage calculation.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Disconnected or inactive accounts will still be charged until they are completely removed from the platform.
{% endhint %}

### Key Billing Details

* **Payment Schedule**: Billing occurs at the end of each month with no upfront charges.
* **Currencies**: Payments can be made in USD, EUR, or CHF, with no hidden fees or complex pricing structures.
* **Free Trial**: New users get a USD 20 credit for a shared project to explore all features.

### Cost Forecast

We aim to be as transparent as possible, which is why we added a cost forecast feature. You can view the monthly cost forecast directly in the dashboard where all your projects are listed. Simply click on it to see more details.

## Shared Project Pricing

In a shared project setup, **multiple users share server resources**, which allows us to keep costs low while still maintaining a **reliable, high-performance environment** suitable for most trading needs. Despite the shared nature of the infrastructure, all users enjoy **isolated account configurations**, ensuring both security and operational integrity.

### **Key Features**

* **New User Credit**: USD 20 credit for all new users (this will be automatically added to your first project)
* **Access**: Includes all basic features, with optional pro features and dedicated IPs available for an extra cost.
* **API and SDK Access**: Access to our Rest API and SDKs.
* **Unlimited Usage**: No restrictions on usage.
* **Support**: Standard support included.

### **Pricing**

* **Rate**: USD 0.27 per account/day, billed monthly.
* **Pay-As-You-Go**: Only pay for the days you use the service.
* **No Volume Discounts:** Shared projects do **not** offer volume-based discounts, regardless of the number of accounts used.

***

## Dedicated Project Pricing

For professional traders, institutions, or power users who require maximum reliability and control, our **dedicated project** option offers a fully isolated server environment with **resources reserved exclusively for your use**. This ensures consistent and predictable performance, even during periods of high demand. Additionally, dedicated project users benefit from **priority support**, giving you faster response times and direct access to our technical team when it matters most.

### **Pricing**

* **Billing Per Project and Region**: Charges apply based on the number of reserved accounts per region and project.
* **Minimum Package**: Starts with 25 accounts, with additional increments of 25 as needed.
  * Example: If you have 4 accounts in New York, you’re billed for 25. If you have 42 accounts, you’re billed for 50.
  * Adding accounts across regions (e.g., 15 in New York and 4 in London) will incur charges for separate packages in each region.

{% hint style="info" %}
Switching from a shared to a dedicated project later will incur a migration fee. If you need to upgrade, please contact us for assistance.

## Pro Features

Pro features can be added or removed at any time, giving you full flexibility. An additional fee of **USD 0.10** per day applies to any account using pro features.

For dedicated projects, you will only be billed for the accounts that are actively using pro features.

## Dedicated IP & My Home IP

Both IP options cost a flat rate of **6 USD per IP per month**. Unlike accounts and pro features, they are **not** calculated on a daily basis, so the amount is never prorated. An IP added on the last day of the month still costs the full 6 USD.

### Dedicated IP

If you require a dedicated IP address for your trading setup, it’s available at a flat rate of **6 USD per month**. The cycle follows the **calendar month**, so every IP you still hold is charged again on the 1st. If you release an IP and order another one within the same month, both are charged.

### My Home IP

The [My Home IP](/tutorials/my-home-ip.md) feature costs the same **6 USD per month** and appears in the same invoice position as the dedicated IPs.

Here the cycle is a **rolling 30 days**, counted from the day you added the feature, not from the 1st of the month. An IP added on the 20th therefore renews on the 20th of the following months. You are charged once per unique combination of host and port, regardless of how many accounts use it.
