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

Excellent customer service and community

5
Other than having an easy to use user interface, the customer support has always been quick and friendly. The community website is very active and I find myself taking a look at discussions every single day. I also enjoy reading their daily and weekly newsletter which is very informative. Lastly, the introduction of SIPPs is a game changer, given how cheap the fixed rate fees are. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

User friendly, accessible and informative

5
Freetrade is easy to use and doesn't require a user manual to work through the process of buying and selling shares on the go. In the Uk or abroad. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Simply The Best

5
For long term investing don't waste your time going anywhere else - these guys are the future Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Nice idea, but stagnating

2
It has evolved quickly to gain traction, but it now fails to innovate as it looks to scale. We need a Web based log in, 2 factor authentication, apps for tablets, better portfolio analysis etc. However these do not get put onto the roadmap, or when they do they are deprioritised. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Democratising investing for all.

5
Frictionless trading, easy to use platform and easy to track performance. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Constantly growing

5
The company continue to provide new stocks and services to its customers. Good customer service able to provide prompt, detailed and helpful information. It has a very active forum where everyone can liaise with mindful people and share experiences and ideas,great community. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

easy to use!

They care about your financial wellbeing

5
Freetrade truly build their product around what the customers, especially younger generations, need. They educate them and offer them the ability to embark on a journey of growth and wealth, one stock at a time. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Great basic product - no frills and no nonsense

5
A really great way to get people into investing, something I think everybody should do. Freetrade offer a no frills, no nonsense product which everyone can understand. The main draw is the “freeness” of it, but the app should get credit too as it’s really well polished. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Investing made simple

Starting my investing journey Freetrade has been really easy to navigate and user friendly. I've recommended a few of my friends to the app and love the updates they are making to the app. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021
