Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

Investing as easy as it should be

5
Freetrades, great selection, is stocks coming down the line, an experience that is simple, yet sophisticated enough and easy to invest through. Reviewed on: 15th December 2018

Great but lacks in a few areas

4
Overall happy with Freetrade but the monthly fees at high, limited web interface, my equity charts is limited and needs more work because it includes deposits into my ISA and makes the curve go up. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

Simple, secure and useful App

5
Easy to buy/sell, have all ISA, SIPP in place. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

User friendly and secure.

The platform is very easy to navigate and learn a lot about trading. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

My favourite UK fintech

5
I use this app everyday to buy and sell stocks. Game changer. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

Educational

5
Well explained about investing regularly Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

User-friendly at all levels

5
A welcoming app with an incredibly simple platform to begin trading for my long term goals. It was a much easier sign up process than I expected and does not overcomplicate the trade process at any stage- it is very easy to see what stocks you are buying/selling for what amount with zero ambiguity which I struggled to find on other platforms. However, this app does not stop at beginner use and also allows use for more advanced trader options and settings. It is worth mentioning the setup for my ISA was practically done for me and there is an expanding range of stocks to invest in, all at a very reasonable monthly subscription price. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

Easy, user friendly and empowering

5
Freetrade has made it easy for me to start uinvesting smaller amounts and introduce me to an opportunity I wouldn't have had if it wasn't for their app. Used to think it wasn't for me but FT is truly empowering Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

The best out there

5
I've used several trading apps in the past but none have come even close to the positive experience I've had with freetrade. The UI is incredibly easy to use and navigate and everything is very clear. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

Great Trading Platform

5
Simple, easy to use, great product offerings and an excellent online community. Freetrade has my vote Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

First and Best Trading Platform

5
I've had my account with Freetrade for just over 18 months. It's been a great intro to trading and with an ever growing catalogue of securities to choose from across the world there are few brokers that are this good, especially in the UK. I have a stocks and shares ISA with the platform and whilst this does incur a monthly fee I am awarded a lot of functionality that are not available to ordinary users. Overall, I'd recommend this platform to anyone new to investing. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023
