| 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. | First-time UK or EU investors putting small, regular amounts into global stocks and ETFs from a phone, holding for years, who will enable cash interest and fund the multi-currency wallet to avoid FX charges. |
| 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 need phone support or fast resolution of verification, account or withdrawal problems, you are an active or advanced trader needing full order types and tight spreads, or you want funds, bonds, advice-led products or a desktop terminal. |

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.
