Our verdict on each
Dodl
Dodl is an AJ Bell app aimed at UK beginners who want to sidestep dealing costs entirely. Stock trades cost £0 and cash earns 3.8%, so the saving comes from the fee-free model rather than from a richer market list.
NAGA
NAGA suits mobile copy traders who want stocks, ETFs, forex, CFDs, futures and crypto alongside social features in the same app. Opening starts at €50, while stock trades carry €3, so active share buyers should weigh costs against broader choice.

Pros and cons
Dodl
Pros
- Stock trades cost £0, the lowest stock trade fee recorded in this comparison
- free deposits and withdrawals means moving money in and out adds nothing to a portfolio
- Cash held with the account earns interest of 3.8% while you save for a purchase
Cons
- Cash interest of 3.8% is a variable rate, so the return on uninvested money can move
- Dealing runs on Dodl app only, which suits casual investors less well than a desktop platform
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for urgent account problems
NAGA
Pros
- Access stocks, ETFs and forex under a single login, covering shares through crypto for varied strategies.
- Trade via iOS, Android and Web, with MetaTrader 5 plus mobile apps for flexible order management.
- Withdrawals show No withdrawal fee, helped by No withdrawal fee for cost clarity.
Cons
- Stock trade fee sits at €3, which can weigh on frequent share buyers versus lower fee rivals.
- Support runs on help centre only, so help stays inside help centre without live chat or phone.
- Entry starts at €50, above ActivTrades at $0 for very small starters.

Questions about each
Dodl
What does it cost to buy shares at Dodl?+
A stock trade costs £0, which is the figure that stands out on this platform. The pricing model is commission-free rather than low-fee, so dealing is designed to cost nothing. Money in and out is also free deposits and withdrawals, so a transfer adds nothing extra. The one charge to watch is 0.75% on currency conversion when you buy shares priced outside sterling.
Is my money protected at Dodl?+
Dodl is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and eligible balances are covered by FSCS up to GBP 85,000. That protection is a stated limit on a claim to the firm, not a promise that investments cannot fall in value. The company operating the app is AJ Bell, so the account sits with an established UK provider rather than an offshore entity.
NAGA
What does NAGA charge for stock trades and withdrawals?+
Stock orders carry €3 per trade, and funding shows No withdrawal fee for withdrawals. Share buyers who trade often should compare that ticket charge with rivals before committing, as frequent dealing lifts total cost over time.
What is the minimum deposit to open a NAGA account?+
Trading can start at €50, which keeps entry modest for newcomers testing markets. Withdrawals show No withdrawal fee, so moving funds out does not add a separate withdrawal charge under current terms.
