## Pricing of the platform & KRL holding program

The cost of the kryll.io platform is very simple to understand.

> **Live strategy* cost *1%* of the current wallet value invested in this strategy per month.* **Let’s take an example:** *You run a *Live strategy* with a starting capital of $300, it will cost you *$3* per month, charged in KRL.Running a *Paper trading strategy*(unlimited in time) will cost a price (in KRL) equivalent to *$0.06 per day* whatever the simulated amount.*  

**Note** : The costs are deducted in KRL.

## Lower the FEES! Take advantages of the Holding Program.

Holding KRL on the platform will be rewarded with many benefits, all you have to do is keep them in your Kryll account to automatically activate these benefits. Discover the **KRL Holding Program**.

![](https://blog.kryll.io/content/images/2021/10/Capture-d-e-cran-3-2.png)

**Below a few exemple of Holding Program saving on your fees**

**Example 1:**   
\- I have NO holding package   
\- I’m running a strategy with 500 $ capital. The cost will be **5 $ / month**.

**Example 2:**   
\- I have the 50K KRL package  
\- I’m running a strategy with 500 $ capital. The cost will be **2.5 $ / month**.

**Example 3:**   
\- I have the 200K KRL package  
\- I’m running a strategy with 500 $ capital. The cost will be **0.25 $ / month**.

**Notice:** The fees are deducted in KRL from your strategy every minute. Remember to refill your strategy with enough KRL to avoid exhaust. If you are almost out of KRL for your strategy, an email will be sent to warn you.
