Billing & payment

Monthly or annual?

AlphaSet has two billing cycles:

• Monthly — pay each month, auto-renews until you cancel.
• Annual — pay 12 months upfront, 50% off versus the equivalent monthly price.

Note: The 50% discount applies only to the annual subscription. It does not apply to any other fee (for example, the Balance Adjustment Fee is always 5%/yr, never discounted).

A 37-day first-month bonus

Your first ever MONTHLY subscription gets an extra 7 free days: your first cycle runs 37 days (30 + 7) instead of 30.

• Applies once only per account, on the first monthly signup.
• The annual plan does not get this bonus.
• Cancelling and re-subscribing does not restore the bonus.

No free trial

AlphaSet has no free trial. You must subscribe to a paid plan before the Engine will run. (If you see "7-day free trial" anywhere on the website, that is marketing copy, not a feature.)

Referred users get a $10 credit after their first exchange connection — this is a credit, not a free trial. See the Referral article.

Payment methods

⚠️ The exact payment methods are being finalized. The below is the general framework; gateway/card details will be updated once confirmed.

• In-app electronic payment (card / bank transfer / e-wallet — per supported gateway).
• Subscriptions are billed through AlphaSet, not by manually sending crypto.
• If a payment is declined, see "Payment failed".

Trading-fee cashback

On top of your subscription, you get part of the trading fees the exchange charges back — paid directly into your exchange account, not into a platform wallet, and with no withdrawal request needed.

• The rate applied = your plan's rate at the time of the trade.
• Paid on the exchange's rebate settlement cadence (per-trade ≤24h, or batched ~30 days if the exchange batches).
• Settled in whatever currency the exchange uses (USDT for crypto, USD for forex).
• No cross-exchange cashback.

Frequently asked questions

Does my subscription auto-renew? Yes. Monthly renews each month, annual renews each year — until you cancel. See [[cancel-subscription]].

Do high profits increase my fee? No. Profit does not increase your subscription fee. An extra fee only arises if you add funds that push you over your cap (see [[balance-adjustment-fee]]).

Are my funds safe? Your funds always stay on your own exchange. AlphaSet never holds your assets.
