My first broken & my last one

The company itself has been crownfunded into exisistence. I started of with them in 2021 february. The app itself does have a lot of space for further development, but its in a perfect state for new comers like me. The comunity is amazing, everyone is very helpful, kind and always offer a hood discussion. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Great Platform For Beginners & Experts

5
Freetrade is an amazing platform for those learning to invest and offers a wide range of stocks free to purchase. The optional monthly premium fee of £9.99 is great value for money and allows you to trade in a wider range of stocks. I recently opened an ISA with them and wish I’d used a platform like Freetrade 10 years ago and I feel like I’m only beginning to learn the value of investing. Now looking in to transferring my pension pot across to take advantage of their new SSIP. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Simple, clear and easy investing.

For beginners or more experienced traders the simplicity of the app and the tools provided are highly attractive. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Disruptive product working in favour of all retail investors

5
I've been a Freetrader user for nearly 12 months now and it's so easy to use! The daily and weekend reads help me understand what to invest in and why so my investing confidence has gone through the roof since I started using it. I've got my parents and friends onto it too and they also love it! Plus I and they get a Free Share for doing so! Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Great platform with low fees. Ideal as a S&S ISA provider and now SIPP coming too!

4
Really good customer service and a simple to use platform. Their fees are very cheap and it encouraged me to start investing with them. My only criticism is that their platform does lack some of the more in-depth features (such as live pricing, chart analysis, portfolio performance etc). I've had a few minor issues over the last year or so, but all were sorted out quickly and professionally. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

The lowest cost and best service to start your investment journey and grow. App gets better by the day and the firm is transparent and fair on how they make money. Plus there is a great support team. Wish they were around five years ago. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

No 1 UK Investing Platform by a country mile!
