What Tradrill's Free Plan Includes (and What Pro Adds)
Written by DUOCODE TECHNOLOGYPublished and reviewed 5 min read
Tradrill's Free plan is free forever, with no credit card required, and includes five things: the full paper-trading simulator, the foundation course, one public transmission-chain note a week, core behavioral metrics, and 10 AI analyses per month. This page walks through what each of those means in practice, what the free tier can carry you through, and what Pro ($19/month, or $149/year at the founding-member price — more than four months free on annual billing) adds on top.
One boundary stated up front, because it applies to every tier: Tradrill gives no stock picks, no price targets and no route to real-money trading — it is a training platform for reading technology stocks, where transmission-chain notes trace how a real event reaches a specific listed company and the paper simulator lets you test your own thesis. Simulated results also have inherent limitations, per the CFTC's hypothetical-performance disclosure framework.[1]
Short answer
- Free forever, no credit card: the full paper simulator, the foundation course, one public transmission-chain note a week, core behavioral metrics, 10 AI analyses/month.
- The free tier covers a complete first arc: read one chain a week, learn the mechanics, test your own thesis in simulation, and get your first behavioral feedback.
- Pro adds: the full transmission-chain note library with first access, the complete Trading Twin report and weekly review, advanced courses, 500 AI deep-analysis credits/month, priority queue and full history.
- No tier includes stock picks, price targets or a route to live trading — every tier is education and behavior analysis.
What the Free plan includes
Five components, each usable on day one without payment details:
- The paper-trading simulator, in full: test entries, exits and risk decisions with virtual funds — no broker account, no real money, and no route to real money.
- The foundation course: the structured path through market mechanics and how a technology event reaches a listed company's revenue line.
- One public transmission-chain note a week: a real event traced step by step to a specific listed company, with the arithmetic of the gap shown rather than asserted.
- Core behavioral metrics: the basic measurements of your own trading behavior — the same categories the full Trading Twin report builds on.
- 10 AI analyses per month: enough cadence to review a week of practice and still have capacity left; the meter resets monthly.
What the free tier can carry you through
The realistic first arc on Free: read the weekly public note end to end, learn the simulator and order mechanics, work the foundation course, keep a simulated routine for some weeks, and spend the monthly AI analyses on reviewing your worst sessions. FINRA's online-trading guidance notes how quickly losses compound when behavior exceeds intent — the free tier's behavioral metrics exist precisely to make that visible early, while the tuition is still zero.
What Pro adds
Pro ($19/month, or $149/year at the founding-member price — more than four months free on annual billing) is for the reader who wants the whole library and the full feedback cadence:
- The full transmission-chain note library, with first access to each new note rather than the one-a-week public drip.
- The complete Trading Twin behavioral report: your trade history turned into a discipline report that names the real cost of revenge trading, loss chasing and overtrading.
- Weekly reviews with improvement tasks: the review cadence and one-change-at-a-time assignments.
- Advanced courses on reading technology stocks.
- 500 AI deep-analysis credits per month, priority model queue, and full analysis history.
How to choose
A workable rule: stay on Free until you have actually exhausted it — used the simulator regularly, finished the foundation course, read every public note, and hit the 10-analysis ceiling. If the ceiling arrives because your practice is consistent, Pro's cadence is what you are buying. If it arrives because you analyzed the same session five times, the practice habit needs the work, not the plan. For a comparison against a journal-based alternative, see the TradeZella guide.
Getting started on Free
The first week, concretely.
- Create the account — no card needed.
- Read this week's public transmission-chain note end to end.
- Take ten simulated trades following a written plan.
- Spend one AI analysis on the worst session of the week.
- Note which behavioral metric moved — that is your baseline.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the free plan require a credit card?
- No. The Free plan is free forever with no credit card required; payment details are only needed if and when you choose Pro.
- Can I practice without a broker account on the free plan?
- Yes. The paper-trading simulator works standalone — no brokerage account is needed to test entries, exits and risk decisions with virtual funds, and there is no route from it to real-money trading.
- What happens when the 10 monthly AI analyses run out?
- The rest of the free tier keeps working — simulator, foundation course, the weekly public note, core metrics — and the analyses reset next month. If you consistently need more depth, that is what the Pro cadence (500 deep-analysis credits/month) is built for.
- Does any plan include stock picks or auto-trading?
- No. Tradrill gives no stock picks, no price targets and no auto-trading at any tier, and no plan opens a route to real-money trading. All output is AI-generated analysis for education, not financial advice.
