How We Review Platforms
Independent Scoring
Our editorial scores are never for sale. Ratings reflect real data and verified trader feedback on aspects like costs and fees, investment instruments, trading tools and other features.
Verified Reviews Count More
Reviews backed by proof of account usage carry full weight. Unverified reviews give quick feedback but don't drive scores.
Transparent Partnerships
All sponsored placements are clearly labeled. We include non-partners in comparisons when they merit it.
Compare side by side
Spreads, commission, leverage, regulation, payout speed — all on one page. Pick any two brokers or prop firms to compare apples to apples.
