Trade Ideas pricing: pay for the capability you will actually use.

Current public pricing

Verified September 9, 2026 from Trade Ideas’ public pricing page. Promotions can change; verify the merchant’s current checkout terms before subscribing.

What Standard already includes

Standard currently includes real-time data, 10 charts on screen, customizable layouts, real-time paper trading, in-app trading, TI Wave, customizable scans and screeners, more than 500 data points across alerts and filters, and price alerts.

That matters because the purchase decision is not “basic scanner versus real scanner.” Standard is the scanner-core plan.

What Premium adds

Premium includes the Standard feature set and adds first-generation AI signals, backtesting, smart risk levels, the RBI/GBI window, auto trading, Compare Count windows, customizable multi-strategy windows, customizable Stock Races, and unlimited personal watchlists.

If your reason for upgrading is vague, stay focused on the specific Premium-only job you need. Our plan comparison maps those jobs directly →

Monthly versus annual billing

Annual billing currently reduces the effective monthly cost substantially, but it also increases commitment. A user who has not validated the interface, scan-building workflow, and device fit may rationally value flexibility more than the headline annual savings.

A practical sequence is: confirm device compatibility → confirm the scanner solves the discovery problem → decide Standard/Premium → only then compare monthly and annual economics.

Do not price the subscription in isolation

The relevant cost is not only the subscription fee. Consider whether the plan requires additional charting/news software, whether you will use built-in paper trading or backtesting, and whether the scanner replaces an existing paid tool. Avoid using hypothetical trading profits to justify the subscription; software value can be evaluated through workflow usefulness without assuming profitable outcomes.
