FPT Scale monthly plans, including Founder monthly purchases
Contents (8 sections)

On an FPT Scale monthly plan, the first monthly payment is charged immediately at checkout. That payment prepays the first month of evaluation access, and that month begins when your evaluation is activated — not on the day you paid.

Nothing renews before launch. The second charge occurs 30 days after your evaluation is activated, then monthly until you cancel.

The Monthly Prices

AccountFounder monthly
$25k FPT Scale$59/mo
$50k FPT Scale$79/mo
$100k FPT Scale$129/mo

The $50k plan is the only size with an approved struck monthly anchor: $99/mo shown against the $79/mo Founder price. The other sizes show a clean monthly price, because no anchor has been approved for them and FPT does not invent one.

Founder pricing is unlocked with the code FOUNDER. One-time purchase prices, and how the two options differ, are in One-Time vs Monthly Founder Billing.

The Billing Timeline

  1. At checkout — the first monthly payment is charged immediately. You get immediate access to a basic prelaunch dashboard, where unfinished features read "Coming soon".
  2. Before launch — no further charge is taken. There is no auto-renewal in the prelaunch period, however long it lasts.
  3. At activation — your evaluation becomes tradeable when FPT launches. The month you already paid for starts here.
  4. 30 days after activation — the second charge is taken.
  5. Monthly thereafter — the subscription renews on that cycle until you cancel.

This is why a long prelaunch period does not cost you extra months. The clock you are paying for starts when the product you bought becomes usable. See When Monthly Renewal Begins and When Your Evaluation Becomes Tradeable.

The Founder Price Lock

Your Founder monthly price is locked for the life of that specific, uninterrupted subscription. FPT will not raise it on you while the subscription runs normally.

The lock ends if that subscription is:

  • cancelled,
  • refunded,
  • charged back,
  • allowed to lapse through a failed payment, or
  • terminated for a rules or account violation.

After it ends, a later repurchase is at then-current pricing. There is no reinstatement of an expired lock.

The lock applies only to that one account subscription and its normal renewals. It does not automatically extend to additional accounts, resets, upgrades, FPT Direct, new products, taxes, processor-imposed charges or other externally imposed fees. Full detail is in How the Monthly Founder Price Lock Works.

What the Subscription Buys

The subscription is a program-access fee. It is not a deposit, not trading capital, and not money held in an account for you. FPT does not take deposits and does not hold customer funds. Balances and positions inside an FPT account are simulated; what is real is the access you are paying for and the payouts FPT may make under the payout rules.

Resets are billed separately. A monthly-plan reset is a one-time charge that does not reduce your monthly price — see Reset Fees.

If a Charge Fails

A failed renewal can interrupt the subscription, and an interruption ends the price lock. What FPT does when a payment fails, and how to fix it, is in Failed Payments.

Stopping the Subscription

You can cancel a monthly plan. Cancelling stops future renewals; it is not the same as requesting a refund, and it ends the price lock on that subscription. See Subscription Cancellation and Refunds.
