| Pricing | $0/month (Lite); Pro plan under review is $10/month · free tier: Lite plan at $0/month with $0.35 per stock trade and $0.35 per option contract; web, mobile and API access included, no desktop app and IRA fee not waived. Two months of Pro or Pro Plus free for new customers who deposit $500 within 30 days. | 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 | 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. | 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 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 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.
