# Fees

> Which fees exist, who charges them, and where the live rates are.

Trading on AlphaYou has no subscription and no profit share. You pay these costs.

| Cost | Who charges it | When |
| - | - | - |
| **AlphaYou fee** | AlphaYou | On each filled order, from manual trades, spot sells, copies and baskets |
| **Hyperliquid trading fees** | Hyperliquid | On each trade. They depend on your fee tier |
| **Funding** | Paid between longs and shorts, not to AlphaYou | While a perp position is open |
| **Spread and slippage** | The market | When an order fills |
| **Withdrawal fee** | Hyperliquid | When you withdraw. See [Deposit and withdraw](https://docs.alphayou.net/deposit-and-withdraw.md) |
| **New-account fee** | Hyperliquid | Once, when a new wallet is first funded. The app shows it before you confirm |
| **Card and token costs** | The card provider or the network | When you add money by card or in another token |

## The live rates

The rates are on the [Fees page](https://app.alphayou.net/fees). They can change, so the page always shows today's numbers. They are not repeated here.

## Where you see the fee

* **Before you start a copy or trade:** the approval says "AlphaYou charges up to" a rate "of each trade, only when a trade executes." It is a one-time approval for AlphaYou's trading features on that account.
* **On the ticket:** the AlphaYou fee shows next to Hyperliquid's, which is labelled HL Fees.
* **On the review sheet:** "Fee, all in".

The rate in the approval is a maximum. The fee for each trade is shown on the ticket, and the fee shown before you trade is the fee you pay.

## Good to know

* A copy places many orders, including closes and rebalances. Each filled order pays the fee, so costs add up with an active trader.
* On spot, the AlphaYou fee applies to sells only. Buys carry none.
* AlphaYou does not take a share of your profit.
* A research subscription is separate and does not replace trading fees. See [Plans and pricing](https://docs.alphayou.net/plans.md).
