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
Revolut
Pros
- A management fee of 0% on the stocks and shares ISA.
- Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, with support by email, chat and phone.
- Account types include isa and joint, and portfolios can hold etf, cash and crypto.
Cons
- Investor protection stops at FSCS up to GBP 85,000.
- Account types come down to isa and joint, so there is no pension or SIPP wrapper here.
- Crypto sits inside etf, cash and crypto, so an ISA here is not a pure stocks and shares plan.
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%
Revolut
Who it suits
- UK savers who want a tax-sheltered ISA and a joint account in one app.
- Anyone who wants to reach a person by phone as well as by chat or email.
- Investors comfortable holding cash and crypto next to ETFs, the etf, cash and crypto mix here.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a percentage-based plan: Vivid Standard charges a management fee of 0.5% to 1.5%.
- Readers who want a wider regulatory spread: eToro is regulated by Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission (CySEC), Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
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.
Revolut
What does Revolut charge as a management fee?+
Revolut's management fee is 0% on its stocks and shares ISA, and it places 1 of 49 brands on that measure. Robo-advisors in the same group charge a median of 0.35%, so the gap to the typical plan is clear.
How is my money protected?+
Investor protection is stated as FSCS up to GBP 85,000 for the stocks and shares ISA. The account is held with a firm regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, licence 933846, and Revolut also appears under Financial Conduct Authority, Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and LT BL.
