Been with Freetrade for a few years now. Good platform, prices and service Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Simple investing

5
I love freetrade been using it for the past few years, as a beginner to investing I couldn't ask for more it taught me so much. Not just the app but the forums and the Web page is full of easily understandable explanations. Perfect for a total beginner like me to investing. Now we just need the markets to go the other way so I can build my wealth! Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Simple, rewarding what more do you need

5
I use the app, never been into shares or investment as it seemed complex and as if I'd need a degree to understand or benefit. Picked up Freetrade on a recommendation. It was a revelation to me. Simple to use, made understanding shares fairly straightforward. Investing itself became a doddle and Freetrade feels trustworthy. I would and have recommended Freetrade to anyone starting new or those who are already in the game. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Fast and slick service

5
Easy to use, free to trade and intuitive UI. There’s a really wide range of stocks to pick from and different account types. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Smooth

5
Very smooth and easy to use app. Low cost trading and very quick in all aspects. No problems at all so far. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Investing for everyone

5
Easy to use, simple to undersrand. Fractional shares lower the barrier to start investing and enables anyone to purchase no matter their budget. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Fantastic App for trading

5
Fairly new to the free trading app and trading. My experience has been fantastic so far. Looking forward to increasing my portfolio. I’ve also been recommending the app to family and friends. Keep up the good work Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Amazing trading platform

5
Freetrade is very transparent with all the charged fees which give me the confidence to trade with them. Also, the platform is very easy to use and there are many stocks and ETFs to choose from. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Amazing app

5
I was an early stage investor and user of free trade. Has a great user friendly interface and is a great challenger brand in this space. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

The best

5
I’ve tried a range of brokers and for me FreeTrade is the best. The main benefit is the simplicity and ease-of-.use. Powerful feature like limit orders are made super easy. The range of stocks is also excellent with new ones being added constantly. Interest on cash balance is also great. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Going in the wrong direction

2
Two fee increases in less than a year and an increase in fx fees all whilst there is a slow drip of 'features' already available at competitors and customer service and speed of dividend payments keeps slipping. It is a real shame to see the erosion of a company I once used to enjoy and recommend. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023
