What does AI trading actually cost?

The advertised subscription is rarely the whole number. In the UK, what leaves your account is the access fee, plus anything the tool takes from profit, plus the costs your broker charges on every trade the tool makes for you. A tool that trades more often costs more to run even when its price never changes.

The four things you pay.

01

Access

The headline number. In this category it typically runs from around the price of a streaming service up to well past a hundred pounds a month for professional tiers. blank is £10 for a seven-day trading week, or £35 a month.

02

Performance

A share of profit, where the tool charges one. blank takes a flat 5% of net realised profit, high-water marked, charged on the last Friday of the month. Many tools charge nothing here and take a larger subscription instead.

03

Broker costs

Spread on every entry and exit, plus any commission your broker charges. These are the same whether a human or a machine places the order, but a more active strategy pays them more often.

04

FX

The one people forget. Buying a US stock from a GBP account converts currency twice, once in and once out. Trading 212 publishes an FX conversion fee on its pricing page. On frequent US trading this can exceed the software subscription.

Why per-month pricing suits the category badly.

Markets are shut at weekends and on holidays, and there are weeks you do not want to be in the market at all. A monthly subscription charges you through all of it.

That is why blank's default is a trading week rather than a month. £10 buys seven days, weeks stack, and nothing auto-renews. If you want continuous access it is £35 a month on a rolling 30-day cycle from the day you subscribe, which works out cheaper if you are trading most weeks. Neither is a tier: both give the identical product, unlimited live trading, practice mode, and unlimited chat and research.

The cost nobody prices.

Your time. A signal service at £20 a month that needs you at a screen when the alert lands is not cheaper than a £35 advisor that does not, unless your hour is worth nothing. Work out what the tool asks of you before comparing the numbers on the pricing pages.

Questions people actually ask.

How much do AI trading tools cost per month in the UK?

Access fees across the category run from roughly the price of a streaming subscription to well over a hundred pounds a month for professional tiers. blank is £10 for a seven-day trading week or £35 a month, plus a flat 5% of net realised profit.

What costs are not shown on the pricing page?

Broker spread and commission on every trade the tool places, and FX conversion if you trade US stocks from a GBP account. A more active strategy pays these more often, so two tools at the same subscription can cost very different amounts to run.

Is any of it free?

The first seven days are, for anyone signing up before 1 September 2026: no access fee and no commission. After that week, and until the same date, it is half price at £5 a trading week or £17.50 a month. There is no permanent free plan.

Is pay-as-you-go cheaper than monthly?

It depends how often you trade. £10 per trading week is cheaper if you are in the market some weeks and out others. £35 a month is cheaper if you trade most weeks. The product is identical either way.

Pay for the weeks you actually trade.

£10 for seven days, no subscription, nothing auto-renews. Or £35 a month if you are always in.
