| Pricing | Not published — vendor fee schedule (degiro.ie/fees) could not be retrieved this session · free tier: None — brokerage account with per-trade costs; no plan-based free tier advertised | $0.003 per share (under 500k shares/month) plus CenterPoint Web at $20/month · free tier: None; a demo 'test drive' is available via a request-a-demo page |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (per-trade commissions plus fees; no subscription tiers advertised) | Usage-based per-share/per-contract commissions plus platform and market data subscriptions |
| Best for | Cost-sensitive, self-directed European investors who already know which stock or ETF they want, trade infrequently, and are willing to read their own country's fee schedule themselves. | Funded, full-time US equity day traders and short sellers running six-figure-plus monthly share volume who need route selection, hard-to-borrow locates and Level 2 order entry, and who will clear the volume threshold that waives platform fees. |
| Avoid if | You want advice, a recommended or managed portfolio, one simple unchanging price you can understand at a glance, or documented reassurance on money movement and support quality. | You are a buy-and-hold or occasional investor (inactivity fee and per-share commissions punish low activity), want commission-free retail trading, need forex, futures or crypto, are unwilling to negotiate your entry commission tier, or require a broker with a visible independent user-review track record. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
