Bridge setup connecting your MT5 grey label to institutional liquidity providers, configured for your chosen A-Book, B-Book, or hybrid model.
Grey label pricing is usually a flat monthly platform fee, sometimes combined with a per-lot or volume component.
Covers shared server infrastructure, CRM hosting, uptime monitoring, and operational support — the baseline cost of staying live.
Some providers layer a per-lot fee on top of the base platform fee as your trading volume grows — confirm whether this applies before signing.
Because there's no independent MT5 server license or dedicated infrastructure to license and maintain, total cost of ownership stays well below a full white label at comparable trading volumes.

| Setup fee | Lower | Higher |

Branding and platform configuration, CRM provisioning, and liquidity connectivity are typically bundled into the one-time setup fee — significantly lower than a full MT5 white label since no independent server license is required.
A recurring platform fee covers server infrastructure, CRM hosting, and operational support. Some providers also charge per-lot or volume-based fees on top — always ask for the full fee schedule up front.
Yes, consistently. A grey label avoids the cost of an independent MT5 server license and dedicated infrastructure — the largest cost driver in a full white label setup.
Per-lot or volume fees, charges for branding changes after launch, data migration/exit fees, and whether liquidity and payment gateway integration are included or billed separately.
