White label trading platform cost: the three pricing models

Vendors that publish prices for a white label forex and CFD trading platform with the CRM included charge $1,500 to $6,000 a month, and some add a five figure setup fee or a share of your revenue. Pelris is $1,250 a month on Starter with the CRM included, no setup fee and no revenue share, and one month is free. The cheapest quote and the cheapest total cost often come from different providers, so this page explains the three pricing models, the hidden costs and what Pelris publishes. To budget the whole venture, see the cost to start a forex brokerage guide on this site.

The three pricing models

Trading platform providers usually charge in one of three ways: a setup fee and a monthly fee plus a share of your revenue, a fee per lot traded, or a flat monthly price. The model tells you more about your future costs than the headline number does.

  • Setup fee plus monthly plus revenue share

    Common with legacy providers. The entry price looks moderate, but the percentage grows with your volume forever, and the setup fee is sunk if the relationship fails.

  • Per volume or per lot fees

    Cheap in a quiet month, expensive in a good one. You cannot forecast it, and it taxes the growth you are building towards.

  • Flat monthly licence

    One number that is the same in January and December. The only model where a bigger business does not mean a bigger software bill.

The hidden costs that decide the real total

The gap between quote and reality usually hides in five places.

Market data feeds are often priced separately, and a real time feed bill can rival the platform licence itself. Hosting is sometimes yours to arrange and pay. CRM seats can be priced per user, so the bill grows with your team. Multi vendor stacks add integration work that someone has to build and maintain. And minimum contract terms turn a bad choice into a two year expense.

When you compare providers, ask each one for the all in monthly number at your size: platform, CRM, every staff seat, data, hosting and support, with the contract minimum stated.

The competitor figures show common quote structures in this market and come from no single vendor's price list. Our own figure is our published price.

  • Setup fee plus monthly plus per lot

    $5,000 setup, $2,000 per month, $8 per lot. Year one: 5,000 plus 24,000 plus 8 times 300 times 12, which is 28,800. Total $57,800, and the per lot line grows with every good month.

  • Lower monthly plus revenue share

    $1,000 per month plus 20 percent of a $15,000 monthly gross. Year one: 12,000 plus 36,000. Total $48,000, and the share scales with your success forever.

  • Flat licence (our published price)

    $1,250 per month, nothing else. Year one: $15,000. The same in a record month and a quiet one, and the same in year two.

Common questions

Anything else? Our team answers 24/7.

What is the cheapest white label trading platform?

Compare total cost of ownership. Setup fees, revenue shares, per lot fees, data, hosting and per seat charges decide the total. Pelris Starter is $1,250 per month, with no setup fee and no revenue share, and the price is published so you can compare it directly.

Why do many providers not publish pricing?

Unpublished pricing lets a vendor price each deal on what they believe the buyer can pay, and it hides the revenue share and fee structure until you are deep in the sales process. A published price is a commitment to be compared.

Is a revenue share cheaper when I am starting out?

Sometimes in month one, rarely by month twelve. A percentage of your volume is small only while your business is small, and it becomes your largest software cost once the business starts working. It also makes budgeting an offshore structure much harder.

What does the Pelris price include?

The full stack: branded client trading terminal, staff CRM covering leads, clients, KYC, deposits and withdrawals, reporting, partner tracking, market data, hosting, an isolated database, your own domain and an installable client app. There is no setup fee and no revenue share.

What does the software cost compared to the whole venture?

Software is usually one of the smaller lines. Entity setup, licensing, legal counsel, banking and client acquisition dominate a brokerage budget. The cost to start a forex brokerage guide on this site breaks down the full picture.
