Starter
$5,000
per month
Up to 500 traders
Standard support — next-business-day response
For the broker going from idea to operating. The same platform every larger broker runs on, sized for the first funnel.
PRICING
Five thousand, ten thousand, or twenty thousand dollars a month. Nothing gated. Nothing metered. Nothing hidden. Pricing that scales with your trader count — not with a vendor's incentives.
Brokerage software pricing is usually a feature matrix. The starter plan lacks the one thing you actually need. The enterprise plan includes six things you don't need. The sales call is a negotiation over which features unlock when. Slate's pricing is the opposite: three tiers, flat fees, every feature in every tier. The only thing that changes as you move up is the trader count you're sized for and the support level you get with it.

What is not on this page
There is no feature matrix because every feature is in every tier. There is no usage meter because the platform scales to tens of thousands of concurrent traders without usage-based pricing. There is no per-seat charge because a broker's team size should not determine the cost of operating the brokerage. There is no setup fee because a platform that charges you to turn it on is not a platform — it is a consulting engagement wearing a SaaS mask.
What is included at every tier
The trading engine with 6 order types and 5 asset classes. The CRM with native WhatsApp and Telegram. The 18-action workflow engine with built-in two-person approval. The 35-permission RBAC layer. The TimescaleDB financial ledger with 7-year retention. The 15 shipped payment providers and the two shipped KYC vendors. The pre-populated blocked regions. Every integration category. Every future release of the platform. All of it, at every tier, with no asterisks.
What actually changes as you move up
As a broker grows from 50 traders to 500 to 5,000, the platform does not change. What changes is the tier sized for the operational scale: the amount of compute reserved per broker, the level of support, the speed of response. The Starter tier handles up to 500 traders on standard support. Growth handles up to 2,000 on priority. Scale handles 2,000+ on dedicated. You move up when you outgrow the capacity — not because a feature was locked behind a sales call.
Why flat fees
Usage-based pricing is a SaaS fashion that looks good in a pitch deck and feels terrible on a CFO's P&L. A brokerage's costs should not spike when a funnel works. Slate's fee is flat: you pay the same amount in a month where the sales desk is quiet as in a month where deposits broke a record. Your budgeting is predictable. Your vendor relationship is predictable. The platform's incentives are aligned with your growth, not with your transaction volume.
