Licence plus data
What a first year costs
The licence is the only money we take. Data is bought wholesale from Databento or ThetaData under your own account, and history you download is cached on your disk, so it keeps replaying after a data subscription lapses.
| Shape of the year | Licence | Data | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research in burstsFour months of ThetaData’s $40 tier, cancelled between | $49 | $160 | $209 |
| One deep windowA year of 1-minute SPX weekly quotes on Databento, metered | $49 | ~$271 | ~$320 |
Vendor rates as of August 2026, billed to your own account. The metered figure moves with what you pull. Price your own window with the data cost calculator.
Founder price
The price at checkout is the price you keep
$49 is the founder price and it will rise to $99. A licence bought now costs nothing more later, and the rise never touches it. Subscription platforms rent the same job from $49.99 a month, every month, researching or not.
FAQ
Common pricing questions
- Is there a subscription?
- No. The licence is one payment and stays yours. The only recurring cost is market data, bought from your own vendor and billed to you in the months you research.
- Do I pay again for new versions?
- No. Updates are included for the life of the product, major versions included, and an update never removes a feature you paid for.
- How many machines does the licence cover?
- A key activates up to three machines you own or control. Releasing a machine from Settings frees its slot, so the licence moves with you when you replace a computer.
- What will the data cost me?
- On Databento a year of 1-minute SPX weekly quotes runs about $265 plus about $8 of contract definitions, billed to your own account. ThetaData starts at $40 a month, cancel-anytime, and code VOLATLAS20 takes 20% off the first month. The data cost calculator prices your own window.
- How is payment taken?
- Checkout runs through Creem, the merchant of record, so your card statement shows Creem. The licence key arrives the moment the payment clears.
- Can I get a refund?
- Yes. Write to us within thirty days of your purchase and we refund it in full, no reason needed.
