B2Core alternative: BrokerTech at $72k/yr, zero setup, month-to-month
Outgrown B2Core's $137k/yr pricing and 12-month lock-in? BrokerTech delivers CRM, IB, MT5 plugins, mobile, and PSP for $72k/yr all-in.
BrokerTech vs B2Core: the short answer
If you are running a broker on B2Core and the renewal quote landed at $137,000 plus a $15,000 setup charge and a twelve-month minimum term, BrokerTech is the direct alternative built for that exact moment. We deliver the same functional surface area (CRM, IB management, MT5 plugins, mobile app, PSP connectors, KYC) for $72,000 per year, month-to-month, with zero setup and migration done by our team at no charge. The tradeoff is that B2Core has a longer institutional track record and a broader historical integration library; if you need thirty regional PSPs pre-wired on day one, that still matters.
Who this page is for
You are probably here because one of four things happened. Your B2Core renewal quote came in higher than last year. A module you assumed was included (IB, PAMM, mobile) turned out to be a line item. A PSP integration took three weeks when your payments partner promised you a Monday launch. Or your CTO is tired of fighting through a support queue to get a field added to the lead form.
BrokerTech was built by operators who ran brokers before they built tooling. The feature set is narrower than B2Core's total catalogue, but the features we ship are the ones that move revenue: lead routing, IB commission accuracy, reliable MT5 bridges, and payments that clear.
Pricing and commercial terms
This is the section most B2Core customers open first, so we will put it up top.
| Item | B2Core (typical) | BrokerTech |
|---|---|---|
| Annual license | $137,000 | $72,000 |
| Setup / onboarding fee | $15,000 | $0 |
| Contract term | 12 months minimum | Month-to-month |
| IB module | Add-on | Included |
| PAMM / MAM | Add-on | Included in roadmap tier |
| Mobile app | Add-on ($600-$1,500/mo equivalent) | Included |
| PSP integration | $2,000-$5,000 per PSP, 2-4 weeks | Free, 3-5 business days |
| Migration from current stack | Billable project | Free |
| Annual total (fair comparison, all modules) | ~$160,000+ | $72,000 |
The gap is not a discount. It is a different business model. B2Core sells a platform plus a services organisation; the services organisation has to be paid for, which is why integrations, migrations, and custom fields turn into invoices. We sell a platform and absorb the integration work because our engineering team does it directly on the same codebase.
The five things that push brokers off B2Core
1. The renewal math
At $137,000 per year, B2Core costs roughly $11,400 per month before you add IB, PAMM, or mobile. A mid-sized broker running all three is closer to $13,500 per month, and that is before per-PSP charges. The same operational footprint on BrokerTech is $6,000 per month flat.
2. The 12-month lock-in
This one hurts when something changes mid-contract: a regulator opens a new regime, a liquidity provider changes terms, or the broker merges. You are stuck carrying a license you cannot renegotiate. BrokerTech contracts are 30-day notice. We think if we cannot earn the renewal every month, we do not deserve it.
3. PSP integration timelines
A 2-4 week PSP integration window is fine for a greenfield launch, but it is painful when you are trying to add a regional payment method because deposits are bottlenecking in a specific country. BrokerTech's PSP integration SLA is 3-5 business days for standard PSPs (card, APM, crypto on-ramp) and we do not charge for it. Live examples from 2025 launches include integrations completed in under 72 hours.
4. Add-on creep
The B2Core catalogue is large and the base license is a fraction of it. Almost everything a serious broker needs (second-level IB hierarchy, PAMM, copy trading, branded mobile, sometimes even specific report exports) is a purchasable extension. When you total the bill, the advertised price stops being relevant.
5. Deployment time for changes
Field changes, new KYC flows, and lead router updates often route through B2Core's change-request queue. For brokers doing aggressive acquisition, that latency costs money. BrokerTech's CRM exposes configuration to the broker's own admin users for the routine changes and our team turns custom work around in the same week for larger items.
Feature matrix — what each platform actually ships
This matrix is ordered the way a migrating B2Core customer thinks: what am I paying for, how long until I have it, and what is the contractual cost of being wrong.
| Capability | B2Core | BrokerTech |
|---|---|---|
| Core CRM (leads, clients, KYC routing) | Yes | Yes ($3,000-$7,500/mo band) |
| IB management | Add-on | Yes, 6x6 commission matrix |
| MT5 plugins (deposit, withdrawal, bonus, risk) | Yes | Yes |
| MT4 support | Yes | Yes |
| Branded mobile app (iOS + Android) | Add-on | Yes ($600/mo) |
| PAMM / copy | Add-on module | Available |
| KYC orchestration (Sumsub, Onfido, Shufti) | Yes | Yes |
| PSP integration turnaround | 2-4 weeks, billable | 3-5 business days, free |
| Admin self-service for fields/flows | Partial | Yes |
| Typical deployment to live | 6-10 weeks | 2-3 weeks |
| Source code escrow | Available on enterprise tier | Available on request |
Where B2Core is genuinely better
We do not win every comparison and pretending otherwise is how vendors lose credibility.
Multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction brokers at scale. If you are running five regulated entities across CySEC, FSC, FSA, VFSC, and SCA, with separate books and separate reporting packs per entity, B2Core has been solving that problem for longer and has more battle-tested edge cases handled. BrokerTech supports multi-entity but our deepest deployments today are two-entity groups, not five.
Breadth of historical integrations. B2Core has been around long enough to have pre-built connectors to payment providers, KYC vendors, and data feeds that most brokers have never heard of. If your business depends on a specific regional PSP that is already on their list, that saves you an integration cycle even if we will build it for free.
Institutional customer list. B2Core powers some large, well-known brokers. If your board requires a reference list of Tier-1 logos before approving a vendor, they have that and we are still building it. We are transparent that we are earlier in our reference curve.
If any of those three points describe your situation, stay on B2Core. The renewal will hurt but the switching cost would hurt more.
How migration actually works
For brokers who do decide to move, the transition is less dramatic than a typical broker-tech replatform because we do the work.
- Week 1: Read-only access to your existing B2Core instance. Our team maps your data model, commission rules, and MT5 bridge config to our schema. You keep running.
- Week 2: Parallel environment stood up. Historical client data, KYC documents, trading history, IB trees, and open positions replicated. We run reconciliation reports and you review.
- Week 3: Cutover weekend. MT5 gateway points updated, PSP webhooks redirected, mobile app rebranded and pushed. Support team trained on the new CRM during week 2.
- Week 4+: Hypercare. Dedicated engineer on your account for 30 days.
Migration is free. We do not charge per record, per PSP, or per user.
What you keep, what you lose
You keep your traders, your IB tree, your commission history, your KYC documents, your PSP relationships, and your MT5 server. You lose the B2Core-specific workflows that were bolted on as custom work, but in most migrations we rebuild those inside the first 60 days at no charge.
A note on feature parity honesty
B2Core has more features than BrokerTech. That is true and will remain true. Our bet is that the 80% of features that drive 100% of broker revenue is a smaller set than the full catalogue, and that a lean, owner-operator-built platform priced at half the rate is the right tradeoff for most brokers between $5m and $50m in annual deposits.
If you are above that range and need every feature in the B2Core catalogue, we will tell you so on the discovery call.
