Plan questions

Can I connect Alpaca Paper for free?

Yes. Free Paper includes one Alpaca Paper connection through secure OAuth. No card is required.

When do I pay $150?

You pay for Cataldex Pro when you are eligible and ready to connect live brokerage access. You can return to Free Paper after canceling.

Does Pro include trading capital?

No. You fund and retain control of your brokerage account. Cataldex is a software membership.

Does either plan guarantee profit?

No. Trading can lose money, and neither software nor historical performance can guarantee future results.

Can I connect any broker?

No. Only integrations marked available in your dashboard can be connected. Other brokerages remain on the approval roadmap.
