Freetrade Online share dealing reviews (9673)

Overall balanced platform

4
Freetrade has various services available through their platform from SIPPs to ISAs and savings accounts in addition to their share dealing platform which is consistently growing. Rates and trading are free and for the paid tiers they are reasonably priced for the benefits you get and for young people or people looking to learn more about finance and the markets through their free mail and online education platform. I am overall satisfied with freetrade as my first option for share dealing in comparison to other vendors on the market due to their low rates and ease of use Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Democratising investing for a generation

5
It's no understatement to say that Freetrade has made an enormous difference to my life, enabling me to learn more about investing, and the international economy during what has been an extraordinarily difficult time for the world. Freetrade's product is ethical and has changed how many people think about and manage their personal finances. It is a wonderful service. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Great, innovative pioneers

5
Really easy and quick to use. Pioneers in their field. I can’t recommend highly enough! Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

A solid effort, focussed on investing vs trading and rightly so

5
Pricing data does not support speculation or day trading, but it's not meant to. The core parts of the app for investing are sound, some issues over the past year but getting better. Looking forward to European expansion progress. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

No other broker can come close
