Included on every FirmForge platform
Clients deposit, trade real balances against live prices, and withdraw, all under your domain. Tiered accounts to reward your best clients, and referral tools to help you grow.
No credit card required. Your platform live within minutes of signing up.
Most vendors quote on request, which makes comparison hard. These are the bands the market published in 2026, so you have something to measure a quote against.
| Cost | Typical range |
|---|---|
| One off setup | $3,000 to $50,000 |
| Monthly platform fee | $2,000 to $15,000 |
| Trading platform licensing | $1,000 to $10,000 per month |
| Revenue share, where charged | 30% to 50% of revenue |
| Payment processing | 3% to 8% of sales |
| Building it in house instead | $50,000 to $150,000, 9 to 18 months |
The headline monthly fee is rarely the whole bill. Ask whether trading platform licensing is included or billed separately, whether there is a revenue share, whether accounts are charged individually, and what the setup fee covers. A cheaper monthly price with a 40 percent revenue share is the most expensive option on this list the moment the business works.
FirmForge is priced as a flat monthly plan. There is no setup fee, no revenue share, no per account charge, and no separate platform licensing line, because the trade room is built in rather than resold. You can explore a full working brokerage in the live demo before you pay anything.
To compare named vendors rather than market bands, see the best white-label trading platforms for brokers in 2026, which lists each vendor's published pricing, setup time and what is included.
If you are weighing up a prop firm rather than a brokerage, the same cost structure applies and the launch process is covered in our guide to starting a prop firm.
What your clients see
Clients sign in at your own domain and get a portal built for trading, not a rebranded template: portfolio and equity at a glance, multiple accounts, deposits and withdrawals, KYC, and a one-click route into the trade room. FirmForge is never mentioned anywhere they can see.
Deposits & withdrawals
Bank transfer, crypto with automatic on-chain verification, or card payments via Stripe or Paystack. Configure your own receiving details, toggle any method on or off per platform, and review withdrawal requests in one queue.
Account tiers
Create tiers like Standard, Gold, or VIP with your own leverage, spread label, minimum balance, and perks. Clients see their tier as a badge on their account and can request an upgrade, which you approve or reject from the admin panel.
Referrals and IB program
Every plan includes a refer-a-friend program for clients and a commission rate per manager. Add the IB/Affiliate Portal from the Marketplace when partners need their own dashboard and referral link. Track referred clients and commission earned per manager or partner, right alongside everything else in your CRM.
Real. Clients deposit real funds, trade against live streamed prices, and withdraw. Every account also gets a funded demo account automatically, so new clients can try the platform risk-free before depositing.
Yes. FirmForge is the software layer, deposits and withdrawals move through your own bank account, crypto wallet, or Stripe/Paystack account, which you connect in your admin settings. We don't hold or move client funds ourselves.
You invite a partner or manager and set their commission rate. They get their own login and a unique referral link. Every client who signs up through it is tracked, and their commission accrues automatically, visible to both them and you.
Yes, entirely. Name, leverage, spread label, minimum balance, and a free-text list of perks are all yours to set. Create as many tiers as you want, and assign them manually or let clients request an upgrade.
Yes. Deposits, live trading, account tiers and withdrawals come with every plan on a brokerage platform, at no extra cost. Every platform runs on a paid plan from day one; there is no free tier.
