Head-to-head comparison across ratings, fees, asset coverage, and platform breadth.
4.6 / 5
Best for active, global, and advanced traders. Lowest margin rates in the industry, broadest international access (160+ exchanges, 36 countries), and the most complete API stack in retail brokerage.
4.2 / 5
Best for cost-conscious active traders who want $0 options, free Level II, fast routing, and broad crypto coverage. Educational depth and fixed-income shelves are thinner than the full-service incumbents.
Each broker scored 0–5 across the same 8 dimensions.
