Start free. Pay when you want more room.
The free tier is not a preview. It builds a real plan, proves it on years of market history, and practices it in six slots with simulated cash, and nobody asks for a card. Paying adds capacity and deeper testing, never a better engine.
Three tiers, the same engine.
Every tier tests plans against the same history, fills at the same next-day prices, and explains every trade. What changes is how much can run at once.

The in-app credit for going deeper.
Some questions deserve a heavier test than one replay of history, like whether your plan holds up across thousands of reshuffled versions of the past. Those deep tests cost a few FinBucks each, because a single one runs the engine thousands of times.
A new account starts with a small FinBucks balance, free accounts keep earning them through challenges, and paid tiers receive an allowance each month. You will never need them for the basics: building, one full history test, and paper practice stand on their own.
What happens when your slots are full.
Nothing breaks. Plans that are already running keep running and keep explaining every trade. A full set of slots just means the next new plan waits until you retire one or move up a tier.
Creator status is earned, not sold. Deploy a practice plan that beats the market and you earn it, and keep beating the market and you can lead a community. No tier lets you buy it. Connecting a real brokerage account stays an Elite feature, one plan to one account, and it is always a step you take on purpose.
Questions people ask
Is the free tier really free?
Yes. No card at signup, no clock counting down, no invoice later. Six practice slots, one saved plan, and the full engine behind them, for as long as you like.
Do paid tiers get better trading results?
No, and be suspicious of any product where the answer is yes. Every tier runs the identical engine with identical rules and prices. Pro and Elite buy room: more plans running, more saved versions, more deep tests. They never buy performance.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel any time and simply run out the month you paid for. Your account then continues on the free tier, and plans beyond its slots pause rather than disappear.
What are FinBucks again?
A small in-app credit spent on compute-heavy extras, mainly deep stress tests of a plan. Earn them through challenges on the free tier, or receive a monthly allowance on Pro and Elite. Everyday building and testing never require them.
When would I need Elite?
Two situations: you want many versions of your plans practicing at once, or you are ready to connect a real brokerage account, which only Elite offers, limited to one plan per account and switched on by you alone.
