Which AI tools are included in each plan?
Standard includes the Integrated MesoSim AI Assistant for strategy development and backtest analysis. Advanced adds MesoSim API access and AI Agent support for Codex or Claude. FundPro adds AI Researcher for professional quantitative trading workflows.
Do I need Codex or Claude to use MesoSim?
No. Both are optional. You can develop and analyze strategies inside MesoSim with the Integrated AI Assistant. Advanced also lets you connect an external AI Agent or use the MesoSim API from your own tools.
How does the trial work?
The 14-day trial starts after signup and the one-time $25 onboarding payment in Stripe. You get Advanced + MesoLive access during the trial, with 3 SimHours of backtesting, up to 2 at once. Choose Standard or Advanced and your preferred MesoLive add-on for renewal. Cancel before renewal to keep a limited free account without continuing the subscription.
What are SimHours and usage credits?
SimTime is the time MesoSim spends running your backtests, failed and cancelled ones included. Standard includes 2 SimHours a week and Advanced 5; the weekly allowance renews every Monday at 00:00 UTC. Usage credits add SimHours beyond your weekly allowance for active Standard and Advanced subscriptions: Starter, 5 SimHours for $30; Research, 20 SimHours for $100; Scale, 50 SimHours for $200, plus tax. Credits expire 12 months after purchase. Both plans include 20 GB of storage for results.
Which options markets are supported?
Standard includes SPX options; Advanced adds RUT, VIX, and GLD. Intraday backtests use 5-minute options data, with SPX history from 2010 and RUT, VIX, and GLD from 2012. BTCUSD, ETHUSD, and SOLUSD are frozen legacy coverage, with no new data, fixes, or support.
