| 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 | 0.20 bps x trade value, USD 2.00 minimum per order (Tier I, spot currencies) · free tier: None — no account minimums claimed, but no free trading tier |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (per-trade commissions plus fees; no subscription tiers advertised) | Usage-based (per-trade commission, tiered by monthly volume) |
| 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. | European self-directed traders placing large FX tickets (roughly USD 1m+ notional per order) who want explicit commission pricing and FX inside a broad multi-asset account. |
| 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 place frequent small FX orders or constantly amend orders — the per-order minimum and cancel-and-replace commission treatment push effective costs far above the advertised rate. |

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.
