Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

How investing should be

5
Easy to use, transparent, low fees, good cadence of delivering new functionality and encourages long term investing. Reviewed on: 10th December 2018

New investor - toe dip into a growing platform

5
As a new investor, I've found Freetrade a great entry point into the market. It's lacking some more advanced features, and I would appreciate some more information within the app which I could use to make investment choices. But it still represents an excellent value offering to those seeking to invest, with minimal additional costs. I would 100% recommend to friends and family (and have done so). Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Impressed

5
Very impressed by Free Trading. Fractional Share dealing in USA. And a very cheap ISA, which I have not yet taken up. There are still many features and investment options that need to be added in time. But very good overall and also the free share referral scheme is excellent. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Disruptive Technology

5
Freetrade has enabled me to invest a small sum in shares each month. Previously I could not do this as the charges levied made no sense to invest small amounts. Disruptive technology at its best. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Simple and effective

Fantastic easy to use app. User experience is second to none. The low fees mean you can grow your wealth without worrying about the middle man, and the weekly emails help me stay on top of the key news affecting the most popular stocks. Reviewed on: 12th April 2021
