A plain guide to what the store pages of MetaTrader 4 and 5 say about cost in South Africa.

What this site is, and what it leaves alone

Rand App Costs: Rand App Costs records the public side of app listings. The pages of MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading; MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks; MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 were opened on 6 November 2026 without an account, in the Google Play pages in the South Africa view (country code ZA, English text) and App Store pages in the South Africa storefront, and what they print was written down with the day it was read.

Rand App Costs: The site takes no screenshots from inside an app and enters no personal data. It does not rank apps and does not say which is better.

What a cost line is, and is not

The price of a download and the word fee in a description are cost lines of the listing, not quotes for trading. Spreads, commissions and funding charges are in the broker's documents, which this site could not read, so none is given.

Questions a reader can ask of any store page

Rand App Costs: A store page invites six plain questions: who publishes it, how firm is the rating, how recent is the build, what does the phone need, what is declared about data and what does the page say about cost. This site answers them for the listings it read, with the day each was read, and leaves the weighing to the reader.

Rand App Costs: A store's country view matters for some of them. Google Play was read with the parameters hl=en and gl=ZA; the App Store through the South Africa storefront (ZA). A listing that is not offered in a view answers with a not-found page, and this site reports that as such instead of filling the gap.

The numbers in one place

Of 4 addresses, 4 gave a page: 2 Google Play and 2 App Store. The ratings they state add up to 2,293,015; the updates range from 28 August 2026 to 2 November 2026.

MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading (Play): MetaQuotes Software Corp., version 400.1493, 27 October 2026. MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks (Play): MetaQuotes Software Corp., version 500.6260, 8 October 2026. MetaTrader 4 (App Store): MetaQuotes Software Corp., version 4.0.1478, 28 August 2026. MetaTrader 5 (App Store): MetaQuotes Software Corp., version 5.0.6290, 2 November 2026.

What a reader can check without logging in

Rand App Costs: A reader can repeat each reading: the source link under every table opens the public store page it came from. No login is needed, and a different figure on the store today only means that the day has moved.

What the broker's own pages could and could not give

Rand App Costs: The broker's public text file (www.fxpro.com/llms.txt, read 6 November 2026) describes the FxPro Mobile App for iOS and Android as including CFD trading, account management, in-app deposits and withdrawals, an economic calendar and push notifications. The ordinary pages of fxpro.com, tried on 6 November 2026 (the front page, the FAQ and the About page), answered this server with HTTP 403, so no fee, spread or funding figure is quoted anywhere on this site.

What this site does not say

Rand App Costs: It does not say which app is better, safe or suitable, and it does not repeat reviews. A rating is quoted with its count, a declaration as the developer printed it. Contracts for difference are complex instruments traded on margin, and money can be lost quickly; nothing here is investment advice.
