If you are searching for the cTrader white label cost, you have already run into the frustrating part: there is no public rate card. Spotware, the Cyprus-based company behind cTrader, prices by negotiation — and the figures that circulate in industry analyses land higher than most first-time buyers expect: roughly $3,000 in setup plus around $2,000 a month in support and volume-linked fees, before a single other piece of your stack exists.
Let's be fair first: cTrader is an excellent trader-facing platform, and since the MetaQuotes crackdown it has become the number-one destination for MetaTrader refugees, with real mindshare among traders. But a platform licence is not a business — and in 2026 the stronger answer for brokers and prop firms alike is a bundled stack where the platform, the CRM and the data feed ship together at one flat price. That is exactly what Singuard builds, and the numbers below explain why firms keep landing on it.
What cTrader Is — And Who It Fits
cTrader is the flagship trading platform of Spotware Systems, headquartered in Cyprus. It earned its reputation honestly: clean charting, transparent depth-of-market, a trader-friendly interface and none of MetaTrader's legacy baggage. When MetaQuotes began terminating prop-firm access in February 2024, cTrader was the platform most displaced firms reached for first — we covered that migration wave in our cTrader for firms analysis.
Who does it fit? Established brokers with the volume to negotiate meaningful terms, and firms whose traders specifically ask for the cTrader terminal. If that's you, good news at the end of this article: you can have cTrader and a modern stack. But go in with your eyes open on the bill.
The Real cTrader White Label Bill
Here is what industry analyses and operator reports consistently cite for cTrader access in 2026:
| Line item | Commonly cited figure |
|---|---|
| White-label setup | ≈ $3,000 one-off |
| Monthly support & volume fees | ≈ $2,000/month, scaling with traded volume |
| Broker (full-label) model | Cited around $5 per million traded, with monthly minimums near $5,000 |
| CRM, challenge logic, KYC, payouts | Not included — separate partner contracts |
| Market-data feed | Your problem, your contract |
Three things in that table deserve a closer look.
First, the volume fees. A fee that scales with traded volume points the wrong way for both audiences. For brokers it's a tax on growth. For prop firms it's worse: in an evaluation model your revenue per trader is fixed at the challenge fee, while your traders' volume — and therefore your platform bill — is unbounded. The busier your traders, the worse your unit economics get. A B-book evaluation business paying per million traded is quite literally paying for its own churn.
Second, the white label barely saves you anything. Operators repeatedly report that the white-label cost sits close to the full-label cost — which is why so many buyers come away confused about what the "white label discount" actually buys. You carry near-full-label pricing with less control.
Third, it's a platform, full stop. cTrader gives you the terminal. Challenge logic, CRM, KYC, payments and payouts all come from Spotware's partner ecosystem — each a separate contract, integration project and invoice. Your "platform cost" is the down payment, not the price.
The Quieter Risk: One Vendor, Growing Leverage
There's also a structural development worth weighing. The cTrader Store now distributes prop challenges directly — which makes Spotware not just your platform vendor but a distribution channel and gatekeeper sitting between prop firms and their traders. A vendor that controls your terminal and a storefront for your competitors' challenges holds a great deal of leverage over your business.
The industry has seen this movie. Concentrating your firm on a single platform vendor — this time a Cyprus one instead of MetaQuotes — repeats exactly the pattern that ended in the 2024 prop-firm terminations. We've written at length about why platform concentration risk is the single biggest structural threat to trading businesses in 2026. Renting your only terminal from any one third party, however good the terminal, is the same bet with a different logo.

Why Firms Switch to Singuard
The pitch is arithmetic, not adjectives. Brokers get the Broker CRM, the eTrader platform, the live 70ms data feed free, payment processors introduced at the highest approval rates, KYC tooling, written policies and a marketing website — one box, one flat per-firm price, with eTrader from $6,600/month for brokers with the data feed included. Prop firms get the same bundle built around the Prop Firm CRM and its real-time 500ms rules engine. Both are hosted and managed by Singuard end to end, and both go live in 24 hours.
Because the price is flat, your platform bill on a record trading month is identical to a quiet one. No per-million meter. No minimums to clear. And switching is deliberately low-risk: Singuard's team handles the migration itself, and the 1-click bridges mean traders keep a terminal they know from day one — the full playbook is in our guide to migrating off legacy platforms.
And if your traders genuinely want cTrader? Keep it. The CRM bridges to cTrader in one click, so you can offer it as an option while eTrader runs as the core platform no third party can ever switch off. For a feature-level comparison of the two terminals, see eTrader vs cTrader.
The takeaway: a cTrader white label buys you one component at a volume-metered price close to a full label; the Singuard bundle delivers the entire firm — platform, CRM, data, payments, KYC and website — for one flat price, live in 24 hours.
"A platform fee that grows with your traders' volume is a partner betting against your margins. We priced eTrader flat per firm so the only thing that scales is your business."

Key Takeaways
- Industry analyses put a cTrader white label at roughly $3,000 setup plus ~$2,000/month in support and volume-linked fees — for the platform alone.
- Volume-based fees scale against B-book prop economics: challenge revenue is fixed while the platform meter runs — and the white-label price sits confusingly close to full label.
- The cTrader Store now distributes prop challenges, making a single Cyprus platform vendor your gatekeeper — the same concentration pattern that burned MetaTrader firms in 2024.
- Singuard ships eTrader + CRM + free 70ms data feed at one flat per-firm price with no volume fees, live in 24 hours — with a 1-click cTrader bridge if you still want it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a cTrader White Label Cost?
Spotware does not publish pricing, but industry analyses commonly cite around $3,000 in setup plus roughly $2,000 per month in support and volume-linked fees for a cTrader white label. For the full broker arrangement, figures of around $5 per million traded with monthly minimums near $5,000 are cited. The platform licence covers the platform only — CRM, challenge logic, KYC and payouts still come from separate partners.
Is There a Cheaper Alternative to a cTrader White Label?
Yes. Singuard bundles the eTrader platform, the CRM, a live 70ms market-data feed included free, payments and KYC tooling into one flat per-firm price with no volume fees, no per-account fees and no revenue share — hosted and managed for you, live in 24 hours. Because the price is flat, it does not grow as your traders' volume grows.
Can I Still Offer cTrader to My Traders Through Singuard?
Yes. The Singuard CRM bridges to cTrader in one click, alongside MT4, MT5, DXtrade, NinjaTrader, Match-Trader and TradeLocker. Many firms run eTrader as their core platform — the one no third party can switch off — and add cTrader as an option for traders who ask for it.
