The TradingView plan you need is the cheapest one that has every feature you'll use. The five plans differ mostly in limits: Basic (free) allows 2 indicators per chart, Essential 5, Plus 10, Premium 25, Ultimate 50; webhooks start at Essential, seconds charts at Plus, Deep Backtesting and the Pine Screener at Premium, tick charts at Ultimate. The picker above reads TradingView's pricing page row by row, as we read it on 2026-10-29. Pine Script, the 400+ built-in indicators, paper trading and the desktop app come with every plan, Basic included.

Which TradingView plan has real-time data?
None, for most stock and futures exchanges: their real-time feeds are bought on top of a plan. TradingView's market data help: "Most of the stock and futures exchanges we support charge fees for their real-time data. Currently, our paid plans don't cover those fees even if you have an active TradingView subscription." The same page: "all the cryptocurrency exchanges presented on TradingView provide real-time data", and US stocks come from Cboe by default, "slightly different from that of the primary exchanges".
What the plan decides is how many feeds you can buy. The pricing page's "Maximum market data subscriptions allowed" row: none on Basic, 2 on Essential, 4 on Plus, 6 on Premium, unlimited on Ultimate. To buy one, the help gives: your avatar → Settings and billing → Subscriptions → Explore now under Real-time market data.
Monthly or yearly billing?
The pricing page gives two prices for each paid plan, billed monthly or billed yearly. As it showed them on 2026-10-29:
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly, per month | Yearly total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $14.95 | $12.95 | $155.40 |
| Plus | $34.95 | $29.95 | $359.40 |
| Premium | $69.95 | $59.95 | $719.40 |
| Ultimate | $239.95 | $199.95 | $2,399.40 |
The pricing page puts Essential's full annual price at $155.40 and twelve monthly payments at $179.40; on Ultimate, $2,399.40 and $2,879.40. If you aren't sure which plan you need yet, a month at the monthly price is the cheaper way to find out.
What's the same on every plan?
The charts, Pine Script, the built-in and community indicators, paper trading and the apps. The pricing page ticks all of these for Basic too: Pine Script, "400+ pre-built most popular indicators", "100K+ community-powered indicators", simulated (paper) trading, trading through selected brokers, the stock, ETF, DEX and crypto screeners, the mobile apps and the desktop app. So a plan won't make a script work that doesn't work on Basic, and the free plan is a fair place to learn the platform before you pay.
Hit a limit already and not sure which one? TradingView limit reached takes the message you see (connection closed, the 5,000-bar stop, the alert limit) and gives what it counts, the free fix, and the plan that lifts it.
Use itPay for the limit you hit every day, not the feature list: most traders upgrade over indicators per chart, alerts or intraday replay.

Where we stand
On 2026-10-29 we read TradingView's pricing page, signed out, row by row, and its market data help; the picker holds those rows and nothing else. Our own TradingView account is on the free Basic plan, so the paid features are TradingView's descriptions, not things we tested on each plan. Prices are TradingView's in US dollars; other currencies and regional prices differ.
We make Pine indicators: each tool in our Pine v6 stack is a .pine file you paste into the Pine Editor, and it runs on every plan. TradingView doesn't endorse us. We're in its partner program, so our links to TradingView are partner links: if you open a new account through one and buy a plan, TradingView may pay us, at no cost to you.

Frequently asked questions
Which TradingView plan do I need?

Which TradingView plan has real-time data?
None includes it for most stock and futures exchanges. TradingView's help says those exchanges charge for real-time data and its paid plans don't cover the fees; you buy each feed on top of a plan. The pricing page allows 2 such subscriptions on Essential, 4 on Plus, 6 on Premium and unlimited on Ultimate, and none on Basic. TradingView's help adds that "all the cryptocurrency exchanges presented on TradingView provide real-time data".
Which TradingView plan allows webhooks?
Essential and every plan above it. The pricing page crosses out webhook notifications on Basic only.
Which TradingView plan has seconds charts?
Plus and up. The pricing page ticks second-based intervals, such as a 30-second chart, for Plus, Premium and Ultimate. Bar Replay on seconds data starts one plan higher, at Premium.
Which TradingView plan has Deep Backtesting?
Premium and Ultimate. Basic gets the basic report metrics; Essential and Plus add the advanced metrics and exporting a backtest's trades to CSV, but not Deep Backtesting.
Which TradingView plan is best for beginners?
Start on free Basic and upgrade when you hit a limit you feel every day: most often the 2 indicators per chart, the 3 price alerts or Bar Replay on daily charts only. Essential, $12.95 a month billed yearly, lifts all three.
Is TradingView Plus worth it over Essential?
If you need what only Plus adds: seconds charts, downloading chart data, multi-condition alerts, 10 indicators per chart instead of 5, 4 charts per tab instead of 2, or 100 price and technical alerts instead of 20. It costs $29.95 a month billed yearly against Essential's $12.95.
