I have been a customer of InvestEngine for 9 months, and I am very impressed with what they do. I opened up a general investment accounts and picked one of their “Growth” plans. This means InvestEngine manage the plan on your behalf. This is ideal for the newcomer to investing, who may feel uncertain about choosing their own funds.
InvestEngine do offer a “Do It Yourself” option where you pick the funds yourself. I will be opening my ISA with them, using this option, this next financial year.
The InvestEngine mobile app is well laid out, is uncluttered, whilst providing all the key information a customer needs to know about their plan.

The Freetrade experience is a tremendously good one for the investing beginner. The app is well laid out, money is very easily deposited, and trades can be conducted in a matter of seconds.
The discover tab within the app is an excellent feature and shows the user popular stocks, alongside other sub-divisions such as recently added stocks, green energy, and tech titans for example. Really useful if you want to see options in particular areas of investment.
The big advantage of Freetrade is its commission free trading, which was the big plus point for me. It provides an easy, and cost efficient way, to invest in ETFs and stocks.
The app is really secure, and employs face identification to access your portfolio.
You can also get free shares by recommending friends to the app.
One quibble I would have is the inability to buy shares in whole units, rather than fractions. It’s frustrating when you get 1.15079 of a share for example.
I really would recommend Freetrade to the investing novice and expert. Customer Service is excellent too, should you need to contact them.
