Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

Investing as easy as it should be

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

LOVE IT

Great customer service if its ever needed in a simple to use and very user-friendly app! Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Want to invest for the long term and not see your profits eaten by greedy brokers? Then go Freetrade

I've been with Freetrade since day 1 of the app launch and I have never used another broker since. Their fee's are zero if you take the basic account, they have a subscription account that offers more. Every month Freetrade add more and more stocks to their universe, do they have as many as the older brokers? probably not yet, but they are growing. The app itself is simple to use. If you are looking to day trade then this is probably not for you unless you have access to some advanced tools that allow you to monitor right-now prices, but for those looking to invest I can't see how any other broker can compete. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Easy to use, and free!

Great app, free trading, very useful and meaningful reports. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Accessible investing

Freetrade made it much easier for me - a young investor with very limited capital and little family history of wealth - to test the waters of investing. It is fairly easy to use, and the Honey mailing list is full of useful information for investors. My main criticisms would be that (1) with high accessibility comes the risk of people gambling away their money without doing due diligence, (2) certain desirable stocks are unavailable to those who don't pay a subscription (which makes it slightly less accessible to new investors than I'd like). Others may also complain that the prices displayed lag a fair bit behind the markets - but this isn't really a problem for long-term investors. Would upgrade to 5 stars and 10/10 recommendation if Freetrade could expand a little on the education side, increase the proportion of free stocks and funds available, and improve the speed/effectiveness of customer service.

Make share investint affordable

Cheap, easy to use, does the job!

Need to track the investments easily. Discovery can be better. Analysis can be better. More fundamentals and technicals on the app. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Ease of use

I have found it easy to use and understand. I feel confident that my money is safe and I can buy stocks from an informed position. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021
