Fees
Transparent. Simple. Built for traders.
Arena AI is free to use. There are no management fees, no performance fees, no subscription tiers, and no hidden charges. You keep the full value of your gains. The only costs you see are the ones the market already charges: your positions, your PnL, and your discipline.
Pricing model
You trade. We do not take a cut.
We do not charge management fees, take a percentage of gains, or sell premium tiers to unlock features. The platform is built to be accessible, so the core experience is free to use.
Because there are no payment rails or external balances, there are no deposits to clear, no withdrawals to process, and no transaction fees to calculate. The economics are deliberately simple: the platform is the product.
In the future, we may offer premium arenas, branded environments, or operator tooling for classrooms and events. But the core experience will remain free, because free access is what makes it educational and competitive.

Custom environments for teams
While individual traders use the public arena for free, operators and educators may want a private instance. This could include custom branding, curated market lists, per-user settings, and admin tooling for staged outcomes.
Private deployments are evaluated case by case. They inherit the same security architecture: no funds, no live orders, and no financial advice. The only difference is the environment is configured for your audience.
If you are interested in a private arena for an event, course, or stream, contact us through the support page. We can discuss configuration, hosting, and the right level of control for your use case.
Transparency
Why free is part of the model
A platform that charges users to access allocated capital would create a perverse incentive. It would feel like a product with a hidden cost, and that would confuse the user about what they are actually paying for. We keep it free to keep the line clear.
The lack of fees also removes a common manipulation vector. We cannot profit from your losses, your volume, or your liquidation. There is no reason for us to want you to lose. The only reason to use Arena AI is to learn, compete, and improve.
Start free. Learn free. Trade free.
There is no credit card, no minimum balance, and no cost to open your first AI-managed position. The arena is open.
