| Pricing | $0.75 per micro futures contract to open and $0.75 to close, plus $0.30/contract clearing fee + exchange fees + NFA fee · free tier: None — no plans or subscriptions; stocks and ETFs trade at $0.00 commission (clearing fee $0.0008/share + regulatory fee) and event contracts at $0.00 commission | Commissions as low as $0.15 per side + fees (top volume tier) · free tier: None; promotional '20 Commission-Free Trades' offer, with customers still responsible for exchange, clearing, NFA, data, platform and technology fees |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (per contract / per trade commissions, no subscription tiers) | Usage-based (per-side commission, volume-tiered) |
| Best for | US-based active retail traders working micro and E-mini equity-index futures and futures options who want SPAN-based risk tooling in one account and fund by ACH. | Moderate-to-high volume futures day traders who already know which charting/execution platform they want, value a CME clearing member and low per-side cost, and are comfortable calculating exchange, data and platform fees themselves. |
| Avoid if | You are a non-US resident, finance positions on equity margin, trade high-volume futures options expecting the $10 cap, are crypto-led, or may transfer out soon. | You want one all-in price on one bundled platform, need equities/ETFs/equity options alongside futures, trade infrequently, or rely on leveraged intraday size through FOMC and major data releases. |

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.
