| Best for | First-time UK or EU investors putting small, regular amounts into global stocks and ETFs from a phone, holding for years, who will enable cash interest and fund the multi-currency wallet to avoid FX charges. | 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 need phone support or fast resolution of verification, account or withdrawal problems, you are an active or advanced trader needing full order types and tight spreads, or you want funds, bonds, advice-led products or a desktop terminal. | 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.
