Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

Been with Freetrade for a few years now.

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

Great concept that is continually improving

5
I’ve been using Freetrade for a few months. The offering itself is pretty simple but is market leading in the UK. It’s an easy way for people to get into investing. The app is great, they’ve recently added instant bank transfers which is a great improvement & shows that the company is dedicated to continually improving their offering. The graphs they provide are a bit light on functionality but for their target audience I can understand why. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Simply the best value

5
Love it - would recommend it to anyone. Seasoned pro or beginner. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Excellent app for people new to shares to dip their toe

5
This app is really good for newcomers like myself to start investing in the stock market. You can invest as little as £2 a time and and there is no commission unlike other stockbrokers who charge a small fortune! Would recommend Freetrade to anyone looking to get into this without having to invest a significant sum to start with. Forums are excellent as well. Very informative and regular emails with updates every week as well. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Excellent service

Amazing experience

5
Quite supportive. Customer focus. No jargons or complexity. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Classy Trading

5
Unreal platform for traders at any level. The plus is well worth the monthly fee. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Quick simple and easy to use

5
The app is slick and easy to use. Setup was straight forward. The fees and everything are explained and shown. The only downside is the plus subscriptions locks away some stocks which at my current investment amount would mean I'd be losing money by subscribing to access some of the stocks I want.
