There is no single universal Rithmic monthly bill. Add the costs for the actual broker/firm account, exchange subscription, platform, routing/access and optional tools. Compare prices with the same billing period, subscriber classification and connection count.

Dated examples, not a combined quote
CME's 2026 fee list lists non-professional top-of-book at $1.55 per exchange/device/month or $4.65 for the four-exchange bundle, and depth at $12.10 or $36.50 respectively. Provider retail billing can differ.
DayTraders' native copier guide lists its own $10/month add-on with a month-end expiry. PickMyTrade's Rithmic guide states $50/month for each additional connection. These are different services and billing units; do not combine them into a universal per-account price.
Avoid misleading comparisons
A free app download can still require paid data. A provider-included platform licence may apply only to one connection route. Earn2Trade's June 2026 NinjaTrader change illustrates why the current route matters. An evaluation's advertised size does not represent a deposited balance and does not tell you its total cost.
For each quote, record effective date, monthly versus annual terms, taxes, renewal/cancellation conditions and what is included. Obtain the actual provider terms for professional/non-display use rather than applying the non-professional examples. No service was purchased for this review.

Common questions
Is RTrader Pro’s download price my total cost?
No. Data, account and optional-tool charges are separate.
Does every provider charge the same copier fee?
No. The DayTraders example is provider-specific.
Does one connection always equal one account?
Not necessarily. Confirm the service’s billing and account-mapping definition.
Does logging out cancel subscriptions?
No. Use the provider billing process and retain its confirmation.
