| Pricing model | Subscription | Usage-based |
| Best for | US-based, self-directed, high-volume equity and equity/ETF options traders who use a third-party platform or code against an API, keep a funded balance above $2,000, trade cash or lightly on margin, and intend to stay put long enough that the $75 transfer-out fee is irrelevant. | Beginner-to-intermediate retail investors with $200-$5,000 who want hands-off exposure to another trader's decisions, hold a EUR/GBP/DKK local-currency wallet to avoid USD withdrawal fees, and intend to keep assets on the platform. |
| Avoid if | You are a buy-and-hold or low-frequency investor (the subscription and $50 inactivity fee work against you), need non-US markets, card funding or negative balance protection, borrow heavily on margin at 9.50%, cannot tolerate execution downtime, or may need to move funds out quickly given the persistent withdrawal-documentation complaints. | You expect to transfer holdings out to another broker, need fast phone-based human support or estate handling, trade at high turnover where 1% crypto and 0.15% CFD spreads bite, or require a perfectly faithful mirror of the copied portfolio. |

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.
