Hosted MT5 Pricing: What It Costs in 2026
Hosted MT5 with PineConnector Edge starts at $59 per month, and hosting is included at every tier, so there is no separate server to rent. Compared with running MetaTrader 5 yourself, where you pay for a plan and then rent a VPS on top, Edge folds everything into one price. This guide breaks down what each Edge plan costs, what is included, and how that compares to doing it yourself.
How Much Does PineConnector Edge Cost?
PineConnector has three plans, billed monthly, and hosted MT5 through PineConnector Edge is built into every one, so the price you see is the price you pay, with no add-on server fee. Core and Plus are at launch prices for early adopters. Once the launch period ends, the regular prices are $69 for Core and $149 for Plus, and subscribers who join at a launch price keep it for as long as the same subscription stays active. Pro is $199 with no launch discount and is coming soon.
| Plan | Monthly price | Connections and hosted MT5 | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $59 launch price ($69 after the launch period) | 1 | New York |
| Plus | $129 launch price ($149 after the launch period) | 3 | New York, London coming soon |
| Pro (coming soon) | $199 | 5 | New York, London coming soon |
Each plan sets how many trading accounts you can connect at once, and every connection comes with its own hosted MT5 instance. The number of strategies you run is not limited. Hosted instances run in New York today, with London coming soon for Plus and Pro. An add-on for extra instances beyond the five on Pro is also coming soon.
What Is Included in the Price?
Every Edge plan includes the managed MT5 terminal, the hosting it runs on, and the always-on execution that keeps it running around the clock. There is no separate hosting fee and no server for you to rent or maintain. You enter your own broker login and switch the terminal on yourself, and PineConnector staff never see or handle your broker credentials. One limit to know: Edge runs the PineConnector EA only, so third-party Expert Advisors are not supported, and hosted instances run MetaTrader 5 only. In practice, always-on execution means there is no server for you to watch, nothing to restart after an update, and no machine that can quietly go offline overnight.
How Does That Compare to Running MT5 Yourself?
Running MetaTrader 5 yourself has two costs that are easy to miss when you only look at the plan price. First, the plan itself, which starts at $59 per month for the Core plan. Second, the VPS you rent to keep MT5 running around the clock, which is billed separately. Add your own setup and maintenance time, and the true cost of doing it yourself is higher than the plan price alone. A common surprise in support is that the VPS shows up as a second bill on top of the plan, which is exactly the cost Edge folds into one price.
Here is a simple way to see it. Say you run a single account. On the self-hosted side you would pay $59 per month for the Core plan, then rent a VPS on top to keep MetaTrader 5 running, so your real monthly cost is the plan plus the server. With Edge Core at $59 per month, the server is already part of the price, so that one figure is your whole bill. The difference between the two comes down to what a VPS would have cost you, plus the time you would have spent setting it up and keeping it online.
| Cost Piece | Do It Yourself | PineConnector Edge |
|---|---|---|
| PineConnector plan | From $59 per month | From $59 per month |
| Server or hosting | A VPS you rent, billed separately | Included in the plan |
| Setup and maintenance | Your time | Handled for you |
| One monthly bill | No, plan plus VPS | Yes |
Is There a Cheaper Way to Try It First?
There is no trial. The lowest-cost way to try hosted MT5 is the Core plan at $59 per month at the launch price, which includes one hosted MT5 instance. Connect a demo account first, send a test alert from TradingView, and move to a live account once you are satisfied with how it runs.
Do the Plans Limit My Strategies or My Accounts?
They limit accounts, not strategies. Each Edge plan sets how many trading accounts you can connect at once, one on Core, three on Plus, and five on Pro. The number of strategies you run across those accounts is not capped.
Which Plan Is Right for Me?
Pick your plan by how many trading accounts you want to automate at the same time, not by how many strategies you run. Core covers one account, Plus covers three, and Pro, which is coming soon, covers five. If you trade a single account, Core is enough, even if you run several strategies on it. If you manage money across a few brokers, or you split your capital into separate accounts, Plus or Pro gives you the extra connections. You can move up a plan later as you add more accounts, so it is fine to start on the smallest plan that fits you today.
Will My Price Change Later?
Your launch price is rate locked. As long as your subscription stays active, you keep the rate you signed up at, even if prices rise later for new customers.
