TradingView pricing plans compared: per month and per year

The pricing page has a Monthly/Annually toggle labelled “Save up to 17%”. The Expert tier that older guides list at 199.95 USD is no longer on the public page; Ultimate is the top plan at that annual price.

TradingView’s published prices, 22 September 2026; the Swiss page shows the same figures in CHF. Annual total is the annual per-month price × 12; the difference matches the “Save 24 / 60 / 120 / 480 a year” labels on the page. Sales tax is added depending on location.

TradingView plans compared: the limits that decide which plan fits which way of trading

Every plan runs the same charts, the same built-in indicators and the same Pine Script editor. What a higher tier buys is room: more charts per tab, more indicators per chart, more alerts and more history. The limits below are what each price step in the table above actually buys.

Limits from TradingView’s pricing page and its “Compare plans” grid, 22 September 2026. Volume profile is included on every paid plan; second-based intervals start at Premium.

Basic (free) has no time limit and covers reading one chart at a time with two indicators; one chart per tab, three price alerts and the ads are what push people to pay.

Essential is the single-instrument plan: ads gone, two charts side by side, five indicators, 20 alerts of each kind, at 12.95 USD a month annually, for a trader who watches one market.

Plus is the step for anyone watching several markets at once: four charts per tab, ten indicators, 100 alerts of each kind, at 29.95 USD a month annually.

Premium adds eight charts per tab, 25 indicators, 400 alerts, 20K historical bars and second-based intervals, a combination for active intraday work, at 59.95 USD a month annually. If alerts are the limit you keep hitting, Premium is the cheapest way to buy them: 400 price alerts for 59.95 USD a month billed annually, about 6.7 per dollar, against 5.0 on Ultimate, 3.3 on Plus and 1.5 on Essential.

Ultimate doubles Premium’s charts, indicators and historical bars (16, 50 and 40K) and raises alerts from 400 to 1,000, at 199.95 USD a month annually, 3.3 times Premium’s annual price; it is the only plan TradingView offers to professional users, and an Expert tier is no longer listed.

How to choose a TradingView plan without paying twice

  1. Start on Basic and find the limit you hit first It will be charts per tab, indicators per chart or alerts. That limit names your plan.
  2. Trial the plan from the pricing page 30 days on Essential, Plus and Premium, 14 on Ultimate. Starting it authorises TradingView to charge your card, PayPal or other payment method when it ends unless you cancel, and the trial can be used once.
  3. Pick the billing term before the trial ends if you are staying Annual is 13 to 17 percent cheaper than monthly; the month from which it pays off is in yearly vs monthly billing.
  4. Upgrade rather than rebuy On an annual plan, TradingView converts the remaining days into equivalent value on the new tier without a second payment; a downgrade takes effect when the term ends. Upgrades are not refundable, so move up from the trial rather than through a paid step.

TradingView yearly vs monthly billing: the exact saving and the break-even per plan

TradingView yearly billing costs 13 to 17 percent less than paying monthly: 24 USD a year on Essential, 60 on Plus, 120 on Premium and 480 on Ultimate, which are TradingView’s own labels on the annual cards (prices in the table above). The percentage differs by tier because the two prices are set independently; it is not “two months free”, and savings of 25 or 60 percent quoted elsewhere are not on TradingView’s page. Annual billing is only cheaper if you would otherwise pay monthly for most of the year: dividing the annual total by the monthly price gives the number of monthly payments that equal it.

PlanAnnual totalMonthly priceMonthly payments equal to the annual priceAnnual is cheaper from
Essential155.40 USD14.95 USD155.40 ÷ 14.95 = 10.4the 11th month
Plus359.40 USD34.95 USD359.40 ÷ 34.95 = 10.3the 11th month
Premium719.40 USD69.95 USD719.40 ÷ 69.95 = 10.3the 11th month
Ultimate2,399.40 USD239.95 USD2,399.40 ÷ 239.95 = 10.0the 10th month

Ten monthly Ultimate payments come to 2,399.50 USD, ten cents above the annual price; on the other plans ten monthly payments are still below the annual total.

Refunds, renewal and failed payments. TradingView bills in advance, and its policies page sets what happens after payment. An annual subscription is refundable if requested within 14 calendar days of payment, by contacting support. For a monthly one, section 13 of the policies allows 7 calendar days, but the FAQ on the pricing page says monthly plans are not refunded, so do not count on it. Upgrades and monthly market data are not refundable, and a chargeback ends refund eligibility. There is no 30-day money-back guarantee and no pro-rata refund after day 14; an earlier version of our yearly-vs-monthly page said there was, and that was wrong. Cancelling is done in the billing section of Settings; the plan stays active until the next due date. Upgrading an annual plan triggers no new payment: the remaining days become equivalent value on the new tier. Downgrading takes effect when the term ends. If an annual plan’s automatic renewal fails, TradingView switches the account to monthly rather than cancelling it. The refund rules by type of purchase are on TradingView money-back and refunds.

When monthly TradingView billing is the better choice

Monthly billing costs 2 USD more a month on Essential and 5 USD more on Plus, and buys the right to stop at the next due date. That is worth it for a defined period, while deciding between tiers after the trial, or for seasonal trading.

  1. Use the trial first 30 days on Essential, Plus and Premium, 14 on Ultimate; the plan converts to paid at the end unless cancelled.
  2. If you are staying, choose annual before the trial ends The billing period is picked on the pricing page at purchase; the 14-day refund window runs from the payment date.
  3. If unsure, pay monthly and re-decide at a due date Do not count on getting a monthly payment back (the pricing FAQ excludes monthly plans, the policies allow 7 days); the term itself is only a month.
  4. Ask support before changing an existing subscription’s billing period The pricing FAQ covers upgrades and downgrades, not a switch from monthly to annual on the same tier; ask before the next due date rather than buying a second subscription.

Trial, partner discount and the order to do things in

  1. Open TradingView through the partner link first The 15 USD discount attaches to the account created in that session and applies to the next plan after your first paid plan, not to the first payment. Signing up through the App Store or Play Store may bypass the attribution. If the discount is not where you expected it, see promo code not showing at checkout.
  2. Start the trial from the pricing page 30 days on Essential, Plus and Premium, 14 on Ultimate, once per account; payment begins when the trial ends unless you cancel first.
  3. Choose the term before the trial ends Annual if you expect to keep the plan for eleven months or more (ten on Ultimate); monthly if you are still deciding. The break-even per plan is in yearly vs monthly billing.
  4. Note the refund date 14 calendar days from an annual payment; on a monthly payment do not count on a refund, because TradingView’s pricing FAQ excludes monthly plans while its policies allow 7 days. Upgrades are not refundable, so move up from the trial rather than through a paid step.

TradingView pricing plans: common questions

How much does TradingView cost per year?
On annual billing Essential is 155.40 USD, Plus 359.40, Premium 719.40 and Ultimate 2,399.40 USD a year. Paid monthly the same plans come to 179.40, 419.40, 839.40 and 2,879.40 USD, so annual billing saves 24, 60, 120 and 480 USD a year, which is 13 percent on Essential, 14 on Plus and Premium and 17 on Ultimate.
What is the entry-level paid TradingView plan?
Essential, at 12.95 USD a month billed annually or 14.95 USD monthly. It removes ads and allows two charts per tab, five indicators per chart and 20 price alerts.
Is TradingView Ultimate for retail traders?
It is the only plan TradingView offers to users it classes as professional, at 199.95 USD a month billed annually or 239.95 USD monthly. A retail trader can buy it; the question is whether you need 16 charts per tab and 1,000 alerts, when Premium gives 8 and 400 for 59.95 USD. The Expert tier is no longer on the public pricing page as of 22 September 2026.
How many alerts does each TradingView plan allow?
Active price alerts: 3 on the free plan, 20 on Essential, 100 on Plus, 400 on Premium, 1,000 on Ultimate. Technical alerts on indicators, strategies and drawings follow the same 20 / 100 / 400 / 1,000 ladder from Essential upwards.
Does a paid plan include real-time exchange data?
Only data available without per-user exchange fees. Real-time feeds for exchanges such as NASDAQ, NYSE or CME are added separately and need a paid plan or an active trial on the account. Monthly market data subscriptions are not refundable.
Does paying annually lock me in for the year?
After the first 14 days, yes: an annual payment can be refunded only within 14 calendar days, and cancelling later just stops the next renewal. A monthly plan can be stopped at any month end, which is what its higher price buys.
Can I switch from monthly to annual billing later?
The pricing FAQ covers upgrades and downgrades between tiers, not a switch from monthly to annual on the same tier. Ask TradingView support before your next due date rather than buying a second subscription.
Can I upgrade from Plus to Premium mid-subscription?
Yes. On an annual plan TradingView converts the remaining days into equivalent value on the new tier without an extra transaction; the term shortens. Upgrades are not refundable, and a downgrade takes effect when the term ends.
What happens if my annual renewal payment fails?
TradingView’s policies state that if auto-renewal fails for an annual plan, the account is switched to a monthly plan automatically.
How does the 15 USD TradingView partner discount work?
A new user who registers through our partner link gets 15 USD off the next plan after buying a first paid plan; it is not applied to the first payment, is not cash and cannot be added to an existing account. Refer-a-friend is separate: the inviter earns a 15 USD promo code when the friend pays within three months.
