Head-to-head comparison across ratings, fees, asset coverage, and platform breadth.
4.3 / 5
Best mobile-first broker for beginners, casual options traders, IRA contributors who want a 3% match, and 24-hour stock access. Significant gaps in OTC, mutual funds, and bonds.
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.
