Pros and cons
Pros
- Free plan is listed as yes, and Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed sets it at no cost with no credit card needed.
- Paid entry at €12.95 sits below the charting price median of €20.90.
- web, desktop and mobile covers web, desktop and mobile, so one account works across screens.
- Charting is the listed tool type in charting, with the work centred on charts.
- Support runs through help centre, the channel most charting tools on the list also offer.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so questions go through written answers rather than a live channel.
- Paid entry at €12.95 is higher than the starting price at CoinGecko Portfolio and GoCharting.
- Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed describes the free tier in one line, so the detail of what it caps is not spelled out.
- Free plan is listed as yes but the limits sit in Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed, which covers the free tier rather than the paid tiers.
Who it suits
- Readers who chart on a mix of screens and want web, desktop and mobile covered by one account.
- Budget-first readers who will start on the free plan covered by Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed.
- People comparing charting tools where charting confirms charts are the core of the product.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want the lowest entry price, since CoinGecko Portfolio starts at $5.
- Readers who want a live support channel, because support runs on help centre.
- Readers who want a custom-built charting stack priced differently, since TensorCharts starts at $8.
Everyday use
TradingView is built around charts, and charting lists charting as the tool type, so the everyday job is reading price action rather than holding an account balance. web, desktop and mobile covers web, desktop and mobile, which means a chart opened on a laptop can be picked up on a phone without changing anything. That matters for anyone who checks markets between other tasks, since the same workspace is there on each screen. Support is the other side of everyday use, and here help centre points to a help centre. Written answers are the route for a question about a chart setting or a platform. A reader who expects to pick up a phone, open a live chat window or post in a community and get a reply will find the route narrower, since the listed support covers help centre and that is the channel the brand publishes.
Fees
Price from is the number that matters here, and TradingView lists it at €12.95. That is the entry point for the paid side, and it places the brand against the charting field. The charting group on the list has a price median of €20.90, with a lower quartile of €9.39 and an upper quartile of €31.74, so the mid-range of what charting tools charge runs from €9.39 to €31.74. Across the wider list the price from median is €25.43 and the range runs €3.99 to €219.24. Ranked on price from, the brand sits at 10 out of 34 brands. Against the named alternatives, CoinGecko Portfolio starts at $5, TensorCharts at $8 and GoCharting at $9.99, so TradingView is not the cheapest way in. The free plan is listed as yes, which is the more useful figure for anyone deciding whether to pay at all.
Plans and free use
Free plan is listed as yes, and Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed describes what that means: a free plan that costs nothing, with no credit card needed. The credit card point removes the usual first step, so a reader can look at the charts before deciding on a subscription, and nothing expires by default. That makes the free tier a genuine starting point rather than a trial. Paid entry begins at €12.95, and Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed covers the free side of the pricing rather than the tiers above it, so the shape of each paid plan is not laid out in the same place. The practical reading is simple: start on the free tier described in Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed, treat €12.95 as the point where a paid tier begins, and check what the free tier caps before planning a workflow around it. A reader who wants a fixed figure for the full feature set will find the free plan covered clearly and the paid tiers read against €12.95.
The company behind it
The legal entity behind the service is TradingView, Inc., which is the name to check on invoices, terms and any account correspondence. Beyond that, the published contact route is help centre, so written support is the visible channel for account questions. No regulator or licence is listed for this brand, and none is named here, so the protection scheme questions that matter for a place that holds money do not apply in the same way to a charting workspace. That distinction is worth keeping clear: the product is charting, not custody, and the entity and the support channel are the two facts a reader can verify. Anyone who needs a named regulator on the record for their own compliance reasons should treat that as an open point rather than assume it.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan, and what does it cost?+
Free plan is listed as yes, and Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed describes it as a free plan forever with no credit card needed. That means a reader can open the charts and keep using the free tier without a payment step, and there is no trial that quietly turns into a charge.
What does the paid side cost?+
Paid entry sits at €12.95, which is where the subscription side of the pricing starts. The charting group this brand is compared with has a price from median of €20.90, so the entry point here is easier to weigh against the field than against any single rival.
How does the price compare with other charting options?+
CoinGecko Portfolio starts at $5, TensorCharts at $8 and GoCharting at $9.99. All three sit below the €12.95 entry point here, so TradingView is the higher starting price of the four, though the free plan means paying is optional.
Which platforms can I use it on?+
web, desktop and mobile covers web, desktop and mobile, so the same account works in a browser, on a desktop install and on a phone. For a reader who checks charts in more than one place, that removes the need to think about which screen the product is built for.
How do I get help if something is not working?+
The listed support route is help centre, a help centre of written answers. That suits questions about chart settings and platform behaviour, where a documented answer is often enough, and it means the brand does not promise a live channel as its main route.
Who runs the service?+
The legal entity is TradingView, Inc.. That is the name to look for on terms, invoices and account correspondence, and it is the fact to quote when checking who is behind the product you are using.
Is this a regulated or licensed service?+
No regulator or licence is listed for this brand, and none is named here. The product is charting rather than a place to hold money, so the usual questions about a protection scheme do not apply in the same way, and readers with their own compliance checks should treat the point as open.
Do I need a card to start?+
No. Free plan at 0 forever, no credit card needed states the free plan needs no credit card, so a reader can get started without handing over payment details. Payment only comes into play if you later decide to move past the free tier and towards the entry point at €12.95.
