Hello! I want to know if I must pay to my broker or to MT4 owners for use it with real account.
You don't pay for MT4 usage. But keep in mind that you must fund your broker account before you trade live. You can download a demo account with your broker that is free to use too.

MT4 on its own is free to use.

Once you start trading with real money, you'll start paying spread, losses, commissions (maybe), etc.

So, what's the profit of Meta Quotes?
MetaQuotes leases their platform to brokers.
So, MetaQuotes is getting paid by the brokers who offer MT4 to their clients.
Of course, these brokers are getting paid by their clients (via the spread), so ultimately, it is the trader who pays for the use of the platform with every trade they execute (via a bit of the spread).

Small price to pay if you ask me. I always wind up using MT4 as a charting package regardless of actual execution platform I'm using.
Never underestimate the powers of the Force.
