MT5 White Label Cost in 2026: Setup, Monthly Fees and Exclusions
MT5 white label cost depends on whether you are buying authorised hosted access, a direct platform licence or a wider implementation service. As reviewed on 19 September 2026, FxTrusts publishes a conditional $3,500/month Hosted MT5 Manager Access offer. That is a service proposal for scoped access to a contracted host environment, not a MetaQuotes licence price and not a complete brokerage launch budget.
FxTrusts also publishes a separate $1,000/month Prop Firm CRM, Risk and Admin subscription. If both applicable subscriptions are selected without a different written bundle, their arithmetic total is $4,500/month. General brokerage CRM is quoted separately. Setup work, external provider charges, taxes and operating cash requirements must still be added where applicable.
This article provides a quote worksheet and worked subscription arithmetic. It does not present unsupported industry averages or claim that one price applies to every entity, territory or trading model. FxTrusts publishes this guide and sells the services discussed, so readers should compare its scope and terms with other written proposals.
First identify which “MT5 price” you are being quoted
Three different contracts can be discussed under the same search phrase. A direct software agreement is between the platform vendor and its customer. A hosted arrangement grants defined access through another contracting party. An implementation agreement pays for configuration, integration, support or coordination. One project may contain more than one of these agreements.
MetaQuotes’ official purchase page describes direct licensing with customer-controlled deployment. The reviewed page does not publish a dollar price that establishes the cost of an FxTrusts hosted arrangement. Request direct licence terms from MetaQuotes if that is the model you need.
| Quote label | What it may purchase | Evidence required |
|---|---|---|
| Direct MT5 licence | Rights described in the platform vendor's software agreement. | Vendor quote, legal entity, product schedule, capacity and permitted use. |
| Hosted MT5 access | Named manager/API permissions and account allocation within a host environment. | Host identity, underlying access rights, written authorisation and operational limits. |
| White-label implementation | Branding, configuration and agreed connections or services. | Statement of work, deliverables, milestones and acceptance criteria. |
| CRM and back office | Client or prop operations software defined by the selected product. | Correct CRM product, included workflows, connector, usage limits and support. |
A regulatory permission is a separate matter from all four lines. Neither a software subscription nor a technology supplier's invoice should be treated as authority to conduct brokerage activity. The white label broker responsibilities guide explains the distinction.
What FxTrusts’ published amounts cover—and what they do not
| Published item | Monthly amount | Scope boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted MT5 Manager Access | $3,500 | Conditional, role-scoped hosted access. Requires written platform/host authorisation and an agreed entity, territory and business model. |
| Prop Firm CRM, Risk and Admin | $1,000 | Prop operations software under a defined scope. Not the general brokerage CRM price and not a trading-platform licence. |
| Both subscriptions, if applicable | $4,500 | Simple addition, not an assumed discount or all-inclusive launch package. |
| General brokerage CRM | Written quote required | Specify broker workflows, connectors, capacity, migration and support. |
Use the current pricing page and signed order form together. The public hosted offer describes proposed capacity, but the contract must confirm the allowance and how accounts are counted. Unused account slots do not establish concurrent-user performance, API throughput or unrestricted administrator access.
Do not infer that liquidity, market data, vendor API entitlements, payment processing or custom development are included unless the order form names them. The same applies when buying through another provider: “platform included” is not a substitute for a product and responsibility schedule.
Separate setup costs from recurring and usage charges
A useful budget has separate columns for one-time work, monthly fees, usage charges and cash commitments. This makes it possible to compare providers with different billing structures without treating a low platform fee as the whole cost.
| Component | Possible charging basis | Question to settle |
|---|---|---|
| Branding and configuration | Fixed implementation fee or defined milestones. | Which environments, groups, instruments, roles and revisions are covered? |
| Hosting and recovery | Recurring service, optional capacity or support additions. | Are region, monitoring, backups, restoration and maintenance included? |
| CRM and connectors | Subscription plus setup or custom integration. | Is this broker or prop software, and which named connector is included? |
| Execution connectivity | Fixed access, volume charge or another agreed formula. | What bridge/gateway, counterparty, minimum and billing unit apply? |
| Market data | Provider or exchange entitlement and usage terms. | What instruments, display/use rights and redistribution permissions are required? |
| Payment and verification services | Provider-specific transaction, check or service charges. | Which fees, reserves, settlement costs and minimums apply to your approved account? |
| Support and change requests | Included service level, retainer or separately approved work. | What coverage, escalation and development time is included? |
MetaQuotes’ setup guidance also identifies hosting, liquidity, CRM, payments and staffing as separate operating considerations. Use that separation to question a quote, rather than importing an unsourced market-average cost for each item.
Calculate the setup coordination fee on the right base
FxTrusts proposes a 10% coordination fee on approved, documented one-time third-party setup costs. The base needs supplier quotes and agreed work. It is not a blanket 10% addition to every project payment.
Illustrative calculation: if eligible third-party setup work totals $6,000, a 10% coordination fee is $600, making $6,600 for those two items. This example assumes the entire $6,000 is eligible and approved. It is not a supplier quote or a promised launch cost.
Recurring subscriptions, refundable regulatory capital, client funds, broker or liquidity-provider deposits, fines and taxes are excluded from that coordination base under the published description. Keep them in the appropriate budget category instead of adding them to the fee calculation. Ask how changes to supplier scope are approved before they change your payable amount.
Six-month and twelve-month subscription arithmetic
The following table assumes the current published rates remain unchanged, services are approved and billed for every month, and no different signed commercial terms apply. It calculates only the listed subscriptions. It excludes setup, usage, third parties, taxes, deposits, capital, staffing and marketing.
| Applicable subscription scope | Monthly | Six months | Twelve months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted MT5 access only | $3,500 | $21,000 | $42,000 |
| Hosted access plus Prop Firm CRM | $4,500 | $27,000 | $54,000 |
A brokerage requiring its own CRM quote should use $42,000 as the annual hosted-access arithmetic only, then add the quoted brokerage software and other applicable costs. Do not replace that missing CRM quote with the prop subscription price.
For a fuller worksheet, calculate: one-time agreed work + monthly fixed costs × billed months + forecast usage charges + other non-refundable expenses. Keep refundable deposits, reserves and required capital on a separate cash schedule. This distinguishes the expense of operating from the cash needed to remain operational.
Normalise volume charges before comparing proposals
A “per-lot” rate is incomplete without its definition. Ask whether the charge is per side or round turn, what constitutes a lot for each instrument, whether closed or opened volume is counted, and whether there is a minimum. A notional-volume charge needs its currency conversion rule and measurement period.
Use the same hypothetical workload in every supplier's worksheet: account count, active accounts, instrument mix, trading volume, payment volume, staff seats and support needs. Prepare an expected case and a higher-usage case. Ask suppliers to calculate both using their actual proposed terms.
Request a sample invoice and identify which charges are payable to the supplier and which are invoiced directly by another provider. Record currencies and tax assumptions. When an item is unresolved, enter “quote pending”; zero should mean confirmed no charge, not missing information.
Commercial terms that change the real commitment
Check when recurring billing begins: signing, provisioning, technical acceptance or go-live. A project can incur subscription fees before payment-provider approval or operational readiness. Agree the treatment of a delay caused by an unresolved dependency, including any work that can continue.
Record the minimum term, renewal mechanism, notice deadline and process for price changes. Identify suspension triggers, reinstatement fees and the effect of non-payment on access to historical records. Ask about migration assistance and the time available to retrieve data at termination.
For hosted access, identify what happens if the host's ability to provide the agreed service changes. The contract should describe notification, access continuity where possible, data export and termination treatment. Do not assume a future migration to a direct licence is automatic or included.
Record the quote date, validity period and assumptions that would trigger repricing. Keep the accepted proposal with the final order form, and reconcile any differences before payment. A supplier email describing a possible feature should not quietly become an unpriced contractual dependency.
What to send when requesting a usable quote
- Your contracting legal entity, target markets and intended live, demo or prop account model.
- Required platform access, branding, administrator permissions and existing vendor relationships.
- Expected accounts, staff seats, traffic and activity assumptions, with a higher-usage scenario.
- Required CRM workflows, payment and KYC providers, execution connections and market-data scope.
- Migration inventory, test environments, support coverage, recovery expectations and acceptance plan.
- A request for separate setup, recurring, usage, third-party and cash-commitment schedules.
Use the supplier comparison to choose who receives the brief and the architecture guide to check its completeness. For an FxTrusts proposal, request a scoped quote and identify the brokerage or prop model explicitly. The useful answer to “how much?” is a dated total tied to deliverables, assumptions and exclusions.
