| Pricing | $0/month (Free plan, pay-per-trade); no funding minimum · free tier: Free plan: $0 monthly fee, pay-per-trade at $0.39/side micros & CME E-nano index futures, $1.29/side standard, $0.20/side nano & event contracts; free simulated trading and demo, usable indefinitely | Commissions as low as $0.15 per side + fees (top volume tier) · free tier: None; promotional '20 Commission-Free Trades' offer, with customers still responsible for exchange, clearing, NFA, data, platform and technology fees |
| Pricing model | Subscription plus per-trade commissions (Free, Monthly, one-time Lifetime) | Usage-based (per-side commission, volume-tiered) |
| Best for | High-volume micro and nano futures day traders in the US who want the cheapest published commissions and lowest margins, who start on the free tier and validate stability on their own hardware, plus prop-firm evaluation traders whose firm mandates Tradovate. | Moderate-to-high volume futures day traders who already know which charting/execution platform they want, value a CME clearing member and low per-side cost, and are comfortable calculating exchange, data and platform fees themselves. |
| Avoid if | You run tight-stop or news-scalping strategies that cannot survive a mid-trade freeze, are Mac-only, depend on an all-session TradingView connection, need published API and market-data costs for algo budgeting, need to fund and trade within the same week, or want a long, proven record of platform reliability. | You want one all-in price on one bundled platform, need equities/ETFs/equity options alongside futures, trade infrequently, or rely on leveraged intraday size through FOMC and major data releases. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
