Pros and cons
eToro
Pros
- No commission on share dealing: stock trade fees are $0
- No account fee on the standard dealing account: $0
- Regulated in Cyprus by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, and a SIPC member in the US
Cons
- A separate management fee of 0% applies to the managed portfolio service, so headline dealing costs are not the whole bill
- Support runs on help centre only, so there is no stated phone or live chat route for account problems
- The same commission-free model at XTB comes with a stated stock trade fee of €0, so commission alone does not separate the two
One (One Finance)
Pros
- Retirement account choice of ira and roth ira for long-term savers.
- Registered with FINRA, SIPC and NMLS and backed by SIPC up to USD 500,000.
- Help on phone, chat and help centre, so a phone call is possible as well as chat.
Cons
- Built for the US market, with the entity based in the United States and accounts limited to ira and roth ira.
- Crypto sits in etf and crypto, which can add sharp swings to a portfolio.
- Across the brands compared here, 70.15% of retail money was lost, so losses should be expected.
Who each suits
eToro
Who it suits
- Beginners who want commission-free share dealing plus fractional shares
- Readers who want stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex and CFDs in one place
- Anyone saving in a currency other than US dollars who wants to watch the cost of conversion
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a stated phone or live chat support channel, since support runs on help centre
- Day traders who judge a broker on spreads alone, as no spread figure is listed
- Anyone wanting managed portfolios at no cost, since the management fee is 0%
One (One Finance)
Who it suits
- US savers building a retirement pot rather than trading frequently.
- People happy with an automated etf and crypto portfolio decided for them.
- Anyone who values phone, chat and help centre when they need help.
Who should look elsewhere
- UK and European investors, since Vivid Standard is set up in euro at €2.
- People starting with a much larger sum, who can compare Axos Invest and its $100 entry point.

Questions about each
eToro
What does it cost to buy shares with eToro?+
The stock trade fee is $0, and the account fee is $0. Both sit at the low end of the market, and eToro is ranked at 1 on trade fees and 1 on account fees among the brands compared here. Currency conversion can still apply if your balance is not in the account currency.
Is there an account fee on the standard eToro account?+
The account fee is $0 for the standard dealing account, which is why eToro places at 1 out of 138 brands on that measure. The managed portfolio service is charged differently, at a management fee of 0%, so treat the dealing and portfolio costs as two separate lines.
One (One Finance)
What is the minimum investment at One?+
You can start from $1. That sits well under €560.82, the point that three quarters of the robo advisors compared here fall below. For anyone building a portfolio in stages, the entry amount is unlikely to be the obstacle.
Which accounts can I open?+
One offers ira and roth ira accounts. That is a retirement focus rather than a spread of general investment accounts, so the service is built around long-term saving in a US wrapper. If you want a taxable general account, this is not the range to look at.
