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 and yearly terms, which plans carry a trial, the no-refund policy, and what a hosted Tradovate stack costs on TradeDupe instead. All TradeCopia figures are from tradecopia.com as of October 2026. We build TradeDupe, a competing product — verify on the source page before buying.
Desktop is the cheap tier
Pro at $34.99/mo runs on your own machine. 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 browser-based on managed hosting and carries a 7-day trial on monthly or quarterly billing. Pro+ at $119.99 is a dedicated single-tenant VPS with a static IP and has no trial.
Same hosted stack on TradeDupe
TradeDupe is hosted on every plan: $30 / $60 / $120 monthly, $20 / $45 / $90 yearly. Standard covers 2 Tradovate logins with up to 10 accounts each. Tradovate accounts only.
How This Workflow Runs
Step 1
Trial TradeDupe
7-day 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 hosted copying at the entry price, not a VPS tier.
- • 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.
TradeCopia plans in detail (October 2026)
Pro (Desktop) — $49.99/mo list, shown as $34.99/mo; $104.98 billed every 3 months. Windows/Mac desktop app. Unlimited accounts, connections and trading groups. 7-day free trial on monthly or quarterly billing.
Pro+ Lite (Web/VPS) — $79.99/mo list, shown as $59.99/mo; $179.98 billed every 3 months. Browser-based on managed VPS hosting; adds TradingView webhook strategy alerts and a manual lockout. Unlimited follower accounts and copied orders. 7-day free trial on monthly or quarterly billing.

Yearly billing is offered at 30%, 25% and 20% off the three tiers respectively; the page does not print the yearly dollar amounts and yearly plans have no trial. Platforms listed across plans: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX, TradingView, with ProjectX, Quantower, ATAS, Sierra Chart and Tradesea also referenced. 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
Pro and Pro+ Lite carry a 7-day trial on monthly or quarterly billing; Pro+ and yearly plans do not. TradeCopia's own wording: purchases are 'final and non-refundable, including charges after the free trial ends'. A one-time courtesy refund may be requested, described as 'not guaranteed', prorated, and minus a processing fee. In practice a missed trial deadline is a month or quarter you should assume 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 and Pro+ Lite, 7 days, monthly or quarterly billing only.
- • Refunds: none, including post-trial charges; one-time courtesy refund discretionary.
- • Billing: monthly, quarterly, or yearly (yearly figures not published).
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. Standard is $30/mo or $20/mo billed yearly and covers 2 Tradovate logins with up to 10 accounts each; Pro is $60 or $45 for 4 logins with 20 accounts each; Elite is $120 or $90 with no caps. Over a year, TradeDupe Standard yearly ($240) versus TradeCopia Pro+ Lite quarterly ($719.92) is the gap most switchers are looking at. TradeCopia's unlimited follower count on every plan is the trade-off — TradeDupe caps accounts per login on Standard and Pro — 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 runs a hosted worker that listens to Tradovate's execution-report stream and dispatches follower orders in parallel the moment the leader fill arrives; it mirrors bracket TP/SL including modifications and cancels, market-closes rogue follower fills, offers a per-follower on/off toggle, and authorizes through Tradovate OAuth at every tier.
Do not switch if you copy NinjaTrader, Rithmic, TopstepX or TradingView-webhook accounts, if you want a dedicated single-tenant VPS, if decimal multipliers or unlimited followers on the cheapest plan are 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
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 feed. Both copiers can read the same Tradovate login during the trial, so run both 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 login 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.

Does TradeCopia offer annual billing?
Yes. Quarterly billing is $104.98, $179.98 and $359.98 every 3 months for Pro, Pro+ Lite and Pro+. Yearly billing is offered at 30%, 25% and 20% off respectively, but the yearly dollar figures are not shown on the pricing page and yearly plans carry no free trial.
Which TradeCopia plan has a free trial?
Pro (desktop) and Pro+ Lite (browser) both carry a 7-day free trial on monthly or quarterly billing. Pro+ (dedicated VPS) has no trial, and no yearly plan has a trial.
Can I get a refund from TradeCopia?
TradeCopia operates a no-refund policy: purchases are final and non-refundable, including charges after the free trial ends. A one-time courtesy refund may be requested; TradeCopia says it is 'not guaranteed', prorated and minus a processing fee. Cancel before day 7 of a trial to avoid the first charge.
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 in the browser on managed VPS hosting and adds TradingView webhook alerts and a manual lockout. 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 Standard (2 Tradovate logins, 10 accounts each), $60/mo Pro (4 logins, 20 each), $120/mo Elite (unlimited), or $20, $45 and $90 per month billed yearly. Every plan is hosted, so the fair comparison is against TradeCopia's Pro+ Lite at $59.99 — about half the price at the entry tier. TradeDupe is Tradovate-only.
Can I trial TradeDupe while still on TradeCopia?
Yes. Both copiers can read the same Tradovate login during a trial. Run both for a comparison session on the same leader, then remove followers in whichever you are leaving so no fill is copied twice.
Hosted Tradovate copying from $30/mo
Start a 7-day TradeDupe trial before your TradeCopia term renews — compare one session, then switch when the fills match.
