Short answer
Yes. VaultCharts is free to download and use. There is no Pro paywall for charting, patterns, strategies, trade plans, or the AI assistant.
What’s included free
- Desktop charting (Mac, Windows, Linux)
- Indicators, patterns, strategies, and drawing tools
- Watchlists, trade plans, notes, and journal
- Local-first data storage on your machine
- Agentic AI assistant with bring-your-own-key (BYOK)
What you might still pay for
VaultCharts does not sell LLM access. If you use a cloud model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.), you pay that provider with your API key. Local models (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI-compatible endpoints) can run at no extra cost.
