  • The free access move may highlight tougher competition in an increasingly commoditized market.

Leverate is rolling out a three-month free trial of its full MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 brokerage stack as competition in the broker technology market potentially pushes vendors toward increasingly aggressive pricing tactics.

The offer gives forex and CFD brokers access to MT4/MT5 servers, hosting, CRM, branded client portals, liquidity connectivity, risk tools, back-office systems, and payment integrations without setup fees or commissions during the trial period.

Leverate Waives Fees for MT4/MT5 Broker Infrastructure Trial

The company, active in brokerage technology for almost two decades, is targeting both new entrants testing the market and existing brokers considering alternatives to their current providers.

Leverate manages MT4/MT5 migrations and maintains connections to more than 150 partner services, allowing firms to onboard real clients and execute live trades before deciding whether to continue on standard commercial terms.

"Our ecosystem has been refined and proven over 19 years in the industry,” said Chief Operating Officer, Shmulik Kordova, in the announcement. “We believe so strongly in our services that offering three months of free access is the ideal way for brokers to truly test and experience everything we've built," Competitors Push Bundled and Turnkey Offers

However, Leverate’s move lands in a market where rival vendors are also trying to lock in brokers with bundled infrastructure and service packages.

MetaTrader Price War?

B2Broker has been especially active, teaming up with Your Bourse to deliver turnkey solutions that combine liquidity, risk management , and trading platforms in a single offering.

Match-Trade Technologies promotes three MT4/MT5 white-label bundles aimed at different broker profiles, while Quadcode markets proprietary CRM systems built for forex operations with quick setup.

Beyond MT4/MT5-focused providers, Leverate also competes with alternative platforms such as cTrader, DXtrade, and TradeLocker, as brokers diversify away from single-vendor dependency and look for more flexibility in their tech stack.

At the same time, Leverate effectively competes with its own SiRiX platform, which it positions as a non-MetaQuotes option for brokers wanting to reduce reliance on MetaTrader.

Leverate Builds Around Ecosystem Play

Leverate is pitching the new promotion as a way for brokers to test not just a trading platform but a broader operational ecosystem. The package includes a 360-degree CRM, configurable A-Book and B-Book routing, multi-currency payment processing, and ongoing optimization support.

The firm has also been expanding its offering through partnerships and product development. In March 2025, Leverate integrated TradingView charting tools into its SiRiX platform to enhance analytics and charting for brokers and prop firms, and in April it joined forces with Convrs to offer messaging and communication tools integrated with operational management.

In May, the company promoted Idan Stambulchik to head of product, signaling continued focus on product expansion and competitive positioning.

    Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
