| Pricing | Not published — Classic/Platinum/VIP CFD spread and commission tables did not render on retrieval · free tier: No minimum funding amount to open a trading account (Saxo UK Help Centre, updated 27 November 2025) | Reported €1 per trade (third-party sources only — vendor pricing-scheme page could not be retrieved) · free tier: No subscription fee; savings plans reported free of charge (third-party sourced); card described by vendor as 'subscription free' |
| Pricing model | Commission and spread based, tiered by volume/balance (Classic, Platinum, VIP) | Usage-based |
| Best for | Active UK traders who want CFDs as one instrument among many, value holding physical shares, bonds and funds in the same account as leveraged positions, trade enough volume to reach Platinum or VIP pricing, and are comfortable reading a detailed cost schedule. | Eurozone beginners making regular small euro-denominated ETF or savings-plan contributions who want near-zero cost, a single simple app, and are comfortable with app-only support. |
| Avoid if | You are a beginner or low-volume trader wanting one simple published spread with no tier system, you need to price a strategy precisely before funding an account, you run a heavily short-biased single-stock strategy, or you cannot absorb the risk implied by the 60% retail loss rate. | You need phone or human support, are likely to hit an edge case (inheritance, cross-border or in-kind transfer, business account), trade actively across venues and instruments, would be materially harmed by a temporary account freeze, or are outside Germany assuming German feature and interest-rate parity. |

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.
