Questions

Pricing questions

What does one seat include?
One named user with their own login, one year of access to one market, and the simulation features of the plan you chose. Seats are annual and priced per person.
Why is the team plan more expensive per seat than the personal plan?
Because it includes the multi-player engine: synchronised sessions, a shared order book, instructor controls and exam grading across a whole cohort. That is additional functionality, not a bulk discount on the personal plan.
Can I buy a team plan for fewer than five people?
The team plan starts at five seats. If you need multi-player trading for a smaller group, contact us and we will consider it case by case.
Which currency will I be billed in?
Both prices are published: USD 800 or CNY 5,000 per person per year for Personal, and USD 1,600 or CNY 10,000 per person per year for Team. Tell us which currency you need when you get in touch.
Can I move from Personal to Team later?
Yes. Contact us and we will move the account across to a team plan.
Which markets does a subscription cover?
One market. The per-seat prices cover the centralized market model that is available today, which is China. A seat is not a licence to every market we might build, which is why the scope is stated on each plan.
How do I run the US, Australian, European or Japanese market?
Through the custom option. Those markets are modelled as a rule set on top of the same simulation core, so we write the rule set, product set, pricing method and calendar for the market you need. Tell us which market and we will scope it.
What does custom development involve?
We write your market rules — clearing algorithm, pricing method, product set and trading calendar — and adapt the participant models and grid data to your market. Deployment, onboarding and training are part of the engagement. It is priced per project rather than per seat, so talk to us.
What do I need in order to run ElecSim?
A modern desktop browser. There is nothing to install, and participants do not need a powerful machine — the simulation runs on the server.
Do you offer classroom, campus or enterprise licensing?
Yes. For cohorts, campuses and enterprise deployments, contact us with the number of participants and how you intend to use the platform, and we will put together a proposal.

Not sure which plan fits?

Describe how you intend to use ElecSim — a single analyst, a trading desk, a classroom, or a market we have not built yet — and we will tell you which option fits, or that none does.
