Great for starter investors

From my view Freetrade is the greatest and easiest app to use in the investment industry due to its simple style and easy graphs to read. Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Simple, cheap stock trading

I switched from Hargreaves Lansdown due to the high transaction fees and only wish I'd done so sooner. It's so quick and simple to use Freetrade and much better than using a savings account to grow my savings. Reviewed on: 29th March 2022

Fortunate to have discovered Freetrade via Crowdcube

New to Freetrade. Building confidence to invest and I am so grateful that Freetrade makes it so easy for a beginner and it’s free. Cheap compared to other platforms. The community forum is so supportive to newbies and I find it extremely valuable, catching up with the threads, interesting read, find posts useful, enjoyable & entertaining at times.

Top class broker with super competitive fees. Love the company mission, feels like they are on the customers side and not just looking out for themselves Reviewed on: 29th March 2022

Fabulous!

A range of options, very competitive pricing (starting with the “free” bit), great app and a great community forum. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022

Game-changers

5
Freetrade have delivered something that enables anyone to buy stocks or ETFs in a quantity they're comfortable with, rather than penalising those who wish to start small. Revolution is an overused word but an apt one here - Freetrade have truly started something special. And the app is so clean and simple to use. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022

Great product

Freetrade has eased me nicely into the investing world. The application is easy to use and very informative. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022

Poor Terms and Conditions

1
I had high hopes that freetrade would act in the best interests of the consumer, particularly as I pay for Freetrade Plus, however their decision to borrow out our shares without the option to opt out has been disappointing to say the least, this along with its inability to transfer US stocks to other brokers means that I can't in good faith recommend Freetrade. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Beginner friendly

Never bought stocks before but gave this a try as the fees are so low and have found it very easy to get started. Not perfect but I would recommend. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
