Yes — the Kalshi app is free to download from both the App Store and Google Play. Kalshi charges a fee of approximately 7–10% of net winnings on resolved trades rather than a per-trade commission or spread. There are no monthly subscription fees, deposit fees, or inactivity charges.

Categories include: Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, CPI inflation reports, US unemployment numbers, presidential approval ratings, legislation passage probabilities, hurricane season outcomes, and major sports events including NFL, NBA and World Cup 2026 matches.
Currently, Kalshi is available to US residents only as a CFTC-regulated exchange. Account registration requires a US address, SSN, and government-issued ID.
