Questions about each
Exness
What does Exness charge to buy a stock?+
Share dealing runs at a stock trade fee of $0, and the pricing model is listed as commission-free and low-fee. On this site's stock trade fee ranking Exness sits at 1 of 161, so the per-trade cost sits at the cheap end of the brands compared. Deposits and withdrawals carry no charge either.
Does Exness charge an inactivity fee?+
The inactivity fee is $0, so a dormant account is not billed for sitting still. Exness ranks 1 of 56 on this measure, at the top of the table of brands compared. Some rivals charge for unused accounts, so this saves money for anyone who opens an account and leaves it quiet for a while.
Webull

Accounts sit with WEBULL FINANCIAL LLC. Investor protection is SIPC up to USD 500,000, and registration with FINRA, SEC and SIPC applies, with SIPC membership listed as SIPC member 71394. Low costs do not change that, so weigh the retail loss figures before you trade.
