Our methodology

Evidence first. Use case second. Commercial status last.

  1. Confirm products, capabilities, fees, and availability using provider-owned documentation.
  2. Assess usability, product range, research depth, risk tools, costs, and jurisdiction limits.
  3. Match strengths and limitations to a specific reader need instead of naming one universal winner.
  4. Label commercial relationships and keep them outside the scoring decision.

Risk notice: Investing and trading involve risk of loss. Options, cryptoassets, CFDs, margin, and leveraged products can involve substantially higher risk. Eligibility, protections, pricing, and products vary by country and legal entity. Verify current terms directly with the provider.
