Plans And Limits
SteadyEdge plan limits are not cosmetic. They directly affect which backtest periods you can run, how many runs you can create per UTC day, whether backtests are forced public, and what pricing you see in billing.
What this is
This article explains the plan catalog, the limits that matter in the product, and how those limits show up in everyday workflows.
When to use it
Use this article if:
- you are choosing between Free, Basic, and Pro
- a backtest option is disabled
- you hit a daily backtest limit
- you want to understand the current pricing logic
Before you start
Important current rules:
- daily backtest limits are counted per UTC day
- Free users are limited to shorter backtest periods
- Free backtests are forced public
- paid plans can use longer periods and choose visibility
- the bot limit applies to ready-made bots from the catalog, not to bots you create yourself
- the yearly checkout amount is currently calculated as 10 monthly prices charged at once
Step by step
Step 1: Understand the current plan catalog
The available plans are:
Step 2: Free plan
- Price: $0
- Performance fee: 10%
- Daily backtest limit: 10
- Ready-made bot limit: 1
- Allowed backtest periods: 1 month , 3 months
- Backtest visibility: public only
Step 3: Basic plan
- Price: $19 monthly
- Current yearly checkout price: $190
- Performance fee: 8%
- Daily backtest limit: 25
- Ready-made bot limit: 10
- Allowed backtest periods: 1 month , 3 months , 6 months , 12 months
- Backtest visibility: public or private
Step 4: Pro plan
- Price: $49 monthly
- Current yearly checkout price: $490
- Performance fee: 5%
- Daily backtest limit: no numeric cap
- Ready-made bot limit: no numeric cap
- Allowed backtest periods: 1 month , 3 months , 6 months , 12 months
- Backtest visibility: public or private
Step 5: Know where limits appear in the product
In day-to-day use, plan limits show up mainly through behavior:
- a longer backtest period is disabled or rejected
- a run is blocked because you reached the daily cap
- Free forces public backtests
- billing pages show the current plan, period, renewal state, and expiry
Step 6: Separate plan limits from launch gates
Some important blockers are not plan upgrades by themselves. A bot still will not start if:
- your email is not verified
- the bot has not passed a backtest
- your available balance is 0 or below
What you should see
After reading this article, you should understand:
- which periods your plan can run
- when the daily limit resets
- what the current monthly and yearly amounts are
- why a disabled period or blocked run may be a plan issue rather than a technical failure
Common mistakes
- treating local midnight as the daily reset time when usage is counted by UTC day
- upgrading only for private visibility and forgetting that period access also changes
- confusing plan limits with email verification or missing backtests
- expecting yearly billing to equal 12 monthly charges in the current checkout logic
