Pay Only on Profit
A Crypto Trading Bot Without a Subscription
Most trading bots charge monthly whether they perform or not. unCoded charges a share of realized profit only. No profit, no fee.
How Profit-Share Pricing Works
You start free with a $25 prepaid license credit. When the bot closes a profitable trade, 30% of that realized profit (20% with a referral link) is deducted from your license balance. That is the entire model: no subscription, no card on file, no fee in months without profit.
The only external costs are your exchange's standard trading fees, which go to the exchange and carry no unCoded markup, and optional VPS hosting at roughly $0 to $16 per month, $0 if you already run a server.
Subscription vs Profit-Share Over 12 Months
The difference shows up in the months where nothing happens.
| Scenario | Subscription bots | unCoded |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed cost per month | $16 to $119 depending on tier* | $0 |
| Fixed cost over 12 months | Roughly $190 to $1,400* | $0 |
| Bot makes $1,000 realized profit | Subscription + you keep the rest | $300 fee (or $200 with referral), you keep the rest |
| Bot makes no profit for 3 months | 3 months of subscription still due | $0 |
| You stop trading for a while | Cancel or keep paying | Nothing to cancel, $0 while idle |

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there really no monthly fees?
Correct. unCoded has no subscription, no setup fee and no fixed costs. The only fee is a share of realized trading profits: 30%, or 20% with a referral link. It is deducted from a prepaid license balance that new users start with for free ($25 credit).
What do I pay if the bot makes no profit?
Nothing to unCoded. The profit-share applies to realized gains only. The only external costs are your normal exchange trading fees, which go to the exchange, and optional VPS hosting at roughly $0 to $16 per month ($0 if you already run a server).
How does profit-share pricing work in practice?
You load a license balance (starting with the free $25 credit). When the bot closes a profitable trade, 30% of that realized profit (20% with referral) is deducted from the balance. When the balance is empty, you top it up to keep trading. There is no recurring charge and no card on file.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Three transparent cost items exist: the profit-share on realized gains, your exchange's standard trading fees (unCoded adds no markup), and optional VPS hosting at $0 to $16 per month. That is the complete list.
Why profit-share instead of a subscription?
Aligned incentives. A subscription bot earns whether you profit or not. unCoded only earns when you do, so the company's revenue depends on the bot actually performing. unCoded is built by ArrowTrade AG, a Swiss company, and publishes 13,000+ backtests so you can verify strategies before trading.
