TradeCopia Pricing (2026): Plans Compared + Cheaper Alternatives
TradeCopia sells three plans — a desktop app and two hosted tiers — at $34.99, $59.99 and $119.99 per month at the discounted prices shown on its site (list $49.99, $79.99, $149.99). This page lays out what each includes, the quarterly rates, the trial and no-refund terms, and what a hosted Tradovate stack costs on TradeDupe instead. All TradeCopia figures are from tradecopia.com/pricing as of August 2026; we compete with TradeCopia, so verify on the source page before buying.
Desktop is the cheap tier
Pro at $34.99/mo runs on your own machine. It is the only plan with a trial. If you need it to keep copying while your PC is off, you are shopping the hosted tiers.
Hosted starts at $59.99
Pro+ Lite is shared managed hosting; Pro+ at $119.99 is a dedicated single-tenant VPS with a static IP. Neither has a free trial.
Same hosted stack on TradeDupe
TradeDupe is hosted on every plan: $30 / $60 / $120 monthly, $20 / $45 / $90 on annual. Tradovate accounts only.
How This Workflow Runs
Step 1
Trial TradeDupe
Free trial, hosted, Tradovate OAuth.
Step 2
Compare one session
Same leader, both copiers, check fills and brackets.
Step 3
Remove TradeCopia followers
So no order comes from the subscription you are leaving.
Step 4
Let the term expire
No refunds, so cancel at the period end.
Go-Live Checklist
- • Every copied account is on a Tradovate-based firm.

- • You want bracket mirroring and rogue-fill protection included.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- • TradeDupe does not support NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX, MT4/MT5 or cTrader.
- • TradeDupe has no desktop app and no dedicated-VPS option.
- • TradeCopia's discounted prices are shown next to struck-through list prices; the discount could end.

Platforms listed across plans: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX, TradingView, with ProjectX, Quantower, ATAS, Sierra Chart and Tradesea also referenced on the site. Promo codes advertised on third-party blogs are not part of the published pricing — confirm any code at TradeCopia's checkout.
Trial, cancellation and refunds
The trial exists only on Pro desktop and lasts 7 days. TradeCopia's own wording: 'Cancel any time before day 7 and you won't be charged', and 'All purchases are final and non-refundable, including charges after the free trial ends.' In practice that means a missed trial deadline is a full month or quarter you cannot recover, so set a reminder for day 6.
Cancellation itself is done from your TradeCopia account; the pricing page does not describe the steps. Before you cancel, remove followers from your copy groups so no order is dispatched from a lapsing subscription, and if you are moving to another copier, confirm it is already live on those followers.
- • Trial: Pro desktop only, 7 days, one per user/payment method.
- • Refunds: none, including post-trial charges.
- • Billing: monthly or quarterly; no annual plan listed.
What you actually pay for a hosted setup
The headline $34.99 is for software that runs on your PC. For a copier that keeps running when your machine sleeps — which is what most prop traders running several funded accounts want — the comparison is Pro+ Lite at $59.99/mo ($179.98 quarterly) or Pro+ at $119.99/mo ($359.98 quarterly).
TradeDupe is hosted on every plan. Basic is $30/mo or $20/mo billed annually; Pro is $60 or $45; Elite is $120 or $90. Over a year, TradeDupe Basic annual ($240) versus TradeCopia Pro+ Lite quarterly ($719.92) is the gap most switchers are looking at. TradeCopia's unlimited follower count is the trade-off — TradeDupe tiers by scale — and TradeDupe is Tradovate-only.
Who should switch (and who shouldn't)
Switch if you are paying for a hosted TradeCopia tier and every account is on Tradovate (Apex, Lucid, Tradeify, MFFU, Take Profit Trader, Alpha Futures and similar), or if you are on Pro desktop and have lost copies to your own machine or connection. TradeDupe adds bracket TP/SL mirroring, rogue-fill auto-close, per-follower pause and Tradovate OAuth at every tier, with typical copy latency under 100ms.
Do not switch if you copy NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX or TradingView-signal accounts, if you want a dedicated single-tenant VPS, if unlimited followers on the cheapest plan is essential, or if you have a prepaid quarter left — TradeCopia does not refund it, so time your move to the end of the term.
How to switch from TradeCopia to TradeDupe in 15 minutes
Start the TradeDupe trial while TradeCopia is still running. Authorize your Tradovate login via OAuth, choose the leader, enable followers, place one small test trade and confirm the entry, bracket and exit mirror in the live execution stream. Run both copiers on the same leader for one session if you want a direct comparison — then remove followers from TradeCopia so nothing is copied twice, and let the TradeCopia term expire.
- • No downtime: both apps can read the same Tradovate accounts during the trial.
- • Never leave both copying the same followers past the comparison session.
- • Time the cancellation to the end of your prepaid month or quarter.

What is the difference between Pro, Pro+ Lite and Pro+?
Pro runs as a desktop app on your own Windows or Mac machine. Pro+ Lite runs on shared managed hosting with browser access. Pro+ provisions a dedicated single-tenant VPS with a static IP. All three include unlimited follower accounts and unlimited copied orders.
How does TradeDupe pricing compare to TradeCopia?
TradeDupe is $30/mo Basic, $60/mo Pro, $120/mo Elite, or $20, $45 and $90 per month billed annually. Every plan is hosted, so the fair comparison is against TradeCopia's Pro+ Lite at $59.99 — roughly half the price at the entry tier. TradeDupe is Tradovate-only.
Can I trial TradeDupe while still on TradeCopia?
Yes. Tradovate allows more than one application to read the same accounts. Run both for a comparison session, then disable followers in whichever you are leaving so no fill is copied twice.
