TradingView Premium is not free, and nothing legal keeps it free for good. The trial ends in a charge, and the "Premium free" and "Pro free" downloads are malware. If what you want is the features people upgrade for (more indicators, more charts, replay, volume tools), Pravex gives you those free, and in our view it is the best free choice. It charts crypto today, and forex and metals are being added.

The TradingView columns come from its pricing page on 11 October 2026. Basic is its free plan. Paid month by month, Premium is $69.95.
Example: say you take Premium on yearly billing. 12 × $59.95 = $719.40 for the year. On a $2,000 trading account that is 36% of the account, spent before the first trade.
That is why people search for a free Premium. What they are after is usually smaller than the plan: a third indicator on the chart, or a second chart beside it.
Get those features free on Pravex
Pravex (pravex.app) is our free charting app. It runs in the browser and charts crypto today, with live spot and perpetual markets on public Binance and Bybit data. Forex and metals such as gold and silver are being added. We make it, and we think it is the strongest free way to get what Premium unlocks.
The limits in that table are the ones it takes away. Add as many indicators to a chart as your setup needs, from 129 built in. Open up to 16 charts in one layout and keep them in sync by symbol, timeframe or crosshair. Replay a chart candle by candle, on one chart or on the whole layout at once. Volume profile, TPO and volume footprint are included too, which TradingView keeps for its paid plans.
Around the chart you get 87 drawing tools and 21 chart types, and Pravex works on a phone or as an installed web app. It is free, with no card and no ads.
So if the wall you keep hitting is the third indicator or the second chart, you do not need Premium. Premium still earns its price for what sits around the chart: stocks and futures from many exchanges, screeners, a large library of community scripts. Pravex charts crypto today, and forex and metals are being added.
The legal ways to get Premium itself
Two are worth knowing. The first is the trial. TradingView's terms say a free trial may be offered on selected paid plans, with its length shown when you sign up. It becomes the paid plan you picked unless you cancel before it ends, and an email to support does not count as cancelling. You cancel in the billing settings.
The second is a school. TradingView's students page describes a program where an institution signs up and its students get paid plans at no cost. It lists no discount for one student.
Why "Premium free" downloads are a trap
TradingView's security page says of cracked apps: "The only 'cracked' version is the one that cracks your wallet when you're using a fake."
Two reports show what that means. In March 2025, Malwarebytes found cracked TradingView installers on Reddit carrying password and wallet stealers for Windows and Mac, and heard from victims whose wallets were emptied. On 26 July 2026, SafeDep traced a click on a YouTube ad for a free year of TradingView. Within 59 seconds the installer had saved the Mac's admin password where any program could read it.
Shared logins and "lifetime" accounts fail the same test. TradingView's support page says there are no authorized resellers of its plans, and its pricing page sells monthly and yearly billing only.
The TradingView figures here were read on 11 October 2026, and it changes its plans, so check its pricing page before you pay. If the features were all you wanted, open Pravex and add that third indicator. Not financial advice.
