| Pricing | $10 minimum deposit; Standard account minimum spreads from 1 pt on EURUSD/GBPUSD/AUDUSD/USDJPY/USDCHF (1.1 USDCAD) · free tier: No copy-trading subscription; some cTrader Copy strategies are listed as free, and there is no fee to open or close an account | Not published — no subscription tiers; costs are spread-based (e.g. EUR/USD 0.6 pips, Gold 0.30 points, UK 100 1 point, Apple 0.13 points, Bitcoin 50 points) · free tier: Demo account available; no subscription required to hold a live account |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (spread/commission) plus provider-set copy fees | Usage-based |
| Best for | Experienced or semi-experienced CFD/FX traders who already want a raw-spread account across MT4/MT5/cTrader/TradingView and treat copy trading as one sleeve alongside manual and automated strategies. | Active, self-directed CFD traders who place their own trades and want tight spreads with no commission. |
| Avoid if | You are a complete beginner wanting one social feed, one leaderboard and a flat fee; you need fast frictionless withdrawals as a hard requirement; you want non-leveraged long-only stock copying; or you are a US retail trader. | You are shopping for copy trading or managed portfolios — that capability does not exist here, and a 79.75% retail loss rate makes leveraged CFDs an unsuitable default for hands-off users. |

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.
