Leverate

Leverate rolled out transparent pricing tiers for its brokerage technology stack, offering brokers entry-level access without setup fees or initial commitments. The account-based model targets CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms looking to launch or switch providers without facing traditional cost barriers.

According to the press release, the Dubai-based firm structures pricing around the number of live trading accounts rather than revenue thresholds or trading volume. Brokers get access to Leverate's trading platform, CRM system, liquidity connections, risk management tools, back-office software, and affiliate management in a single package.

Leverate’s Account Tiers Replace Revenue Benchmarks

Leverate's pricing doesn't tie progression between tiers to specific revenue targets or trade volumes. Instead, the company counts active accounts to determine which tier a broker falls into. The approach differs from traditional models where brokers piece together platforms, liquidity providers, CRM systems, and risk tools from separate vendors.

The entry tier comes without charges, allowing brokers to test the infrastructure before scaling operations. According to the company, this lets firms validate their business model while using the same technology that handles millions of daily trades for established brokers.

Leverate launched its managed MT5 ecosystem in January, offering three months of free access to its MetaTrader stack. The company claims that promotion drew stronger demand than it anticipated, prompting it to extend similar terms to its proprietary trading platform and turnkey solution.

"For 19 years, we've heard the same hesitation: 'technology fear,'" said Ran Strauss, CEO and Co-Founder of Leverate. "Brokers wanted better infrastructure but were held back by cost uncertainty and implementation risk."

The current offer applies to the company's full ecosystem, which includes its trading platform or MT4/MT5 integration, broker portal, social trading features, algorithmic trading capabilities, TradingView charts, and round-the-clock support.

Leverate earlier partnered with Level2 and Convrs to add no-code algorithmic trading automation to its platform, as FinanceMagnates.com exclusively reported.

Traditional Pricing Models Still Dominate

Most providers charge upfront setup fees ranging from $1,500 to $15,000, plus monthly fees between $1,000 and $3,000 for basic MT4/MT5 white-label packages.

B2Broker operates tiered packages ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 monthly depending on service level, with Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise options. Specific setup fees aren't disclosed publicly. For cTrader white-label specifically, the arrangement requires a $5,000 setup fee plus $2,000 monthly starting cost.

Soft-FX charges €7,000 to €25,000 for setup plus €2,500 to €6,500 in monthly fees for its TickTrader platform. Match-Trader uses a broker-as-a-service model with fixed monthly fees starting at $2,000, though upper-tier pricing isn't published.

Whether the account-based model becomes standard or remains a promotional tactic will depend on how many brokers actually convert from the complimentary tier to paid plans. For now, Leverate is making the bet that eliminating friction will bring in enough volume to justify the risk.
