Freetrade is an investing app that lets you buy UK and US stocks and invest in funds and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">ETFs<\/a>. Because of its simple design, it\u2019s really beginner friendly.<\/p><p>It\u2019s got a pink interface that echoes digital banks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/monzo-review\">Monzo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/current-accounts\/starling-bank-review\">Starling<\/a>. Its biggest selling point is that it\u2019s free (obviously), although you\u2019d have to pay up to a 0.99% foreign exchange fee depending on your account. If you plan to trade frequently then it can save you quite a lot of money (\u00a311.95 per trade compared with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/hargreaves-lansdown-review\">Hargreaves Lansdown<\/a>, \u00a33.99 per trade compared with interactive investor and \u00a35 compared with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/aj-bell-review\">AJ Bell<\/a>).<\/p><p>You can check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/freetrade-review\">full review of Freetrade<\/a> if you want to learn more.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>IG is a pretty good trading platform, but it could be overwhelming if you\u2019re just starting out, and expensive if you\u2019re not trading much money.
