So, check out our breakdown of Fidelity vs Vanguard and hopefully this will help you pick who\u2019s best, depending on what\u2019s most important to you \u2013 whether that\u2019s fees, investment choice, account types or anything else.<\/p>

Fidelity and Vanguard are pretty neck and neck when it comes to their Finder score, with Fidelity scoring a solid 4 out of 5, and Vanguard scoring a slightly higher 4.3 out of 5.<\/p>

Both platforms offer stocks and shares ISA, and both come with full Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)<\/a> protection of up to \u00a3120,000.<\/p>

Fidelity and Vanguard are also both pretty even when it comes to their most recent Finder Investing Customer Satisfaction Awards 2025<\/a> results.<\/p>

However, where the platforms go different ways is with the fees score. Fidelity has a 2.4 score for fees vs Vanguard\u2019s 4.7 fees score (both out of 5).<\/p>

Both Fidelity and Vanguard tick most boxes when it comes to account types available on each platform. The only account each provider is lacking is a lifetime ISA (LISA)<\/a>.<\/p>

So, in this category it\u2019s hard to separate Fidelity vs Vanguard.<\/p>

Winner: Tie<\/strong><\/p>

This category is an easy win for Fidelity. <\/p>

Fidelity offers a wide range of over 10,000 investments covering a massive choice of markets and assets. The only downsides with Fidelity are that it doesn\u2019t offer fractional investments and the minimum initial lump sum is very high (but you can set up a monthly investment from just \u00a325 which is more affordable).<\/p>

Unfortunately, one of the biggest drawbacks with Vanguard is that you can only invest in index funds<\/a> and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)<\/a>, on top of this, you\u2019re also limited to Vanguard\u2019s own funds. So there\u2019s roughly about 85 options and that\u2019s it.<\/p>

Winner: Fidelity<\/strong>\t<\/p>

This is an easy win for Vanguard. If you look at Vanguard\u2019s fees vs Fidelity\u2019s, there\u2019s no comparison (and this is reflected in the overall Finder fee score).<\/p>

Vanguard\u2019s platform fee is extremely cheap at 0.15% (less than half of what Fidelity charges). Fidelity also charges \u00a37.50 each time you want to buy or sell an ETF or fund, whereas this is free with Vanguard. \t<\/p>

Winner: Vanguard<\/strong><\/p>

On paper, Fidelity and Vanguard are fairly similar when it comes to ease of use.<\/p>

However, from personal experience using both platforms to invest, I can assure you Vanguard is much better. Fidelity can be quite confusing and not very clear whereas Vanguard is very straight up with everything.<\/p>

Vanguard\u2019s desktop and mobile app are pretty basic, but they\u2019re functional. Fidelity is quite muddled and hard to make sense of as an investor. <\/p>

Winner: Vanguard<\/strong><\/p>

Round 5: Tools, resources and features <\/h3>

Fidelity and Vanguard offer quite similar tools, but Fidelity has a bit more to help investors research and dig into investments.<\/p>

Both are lacking any sort of social features and Vanguard has no tools for investing or trading (because you can\u2019t trade most assets or investments with Vanguard).<\/p>

Winner: Fidelity <\/strong><\/p>

Overall winner: Is Fidelity better than Vanguard?<\/h3>

Although Fidelity offers more tools and investments, Vanguard is much cheaper when it comes to fees and it\u2019s also a much better platform to use and interact with.<\/p>

So, in the battle of Fidelity vs Vanguard, it\u2019s Vanguard that takes the crown.<\/p>

Winner: Vanguard <\/strong><\/p>

All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you\u2019re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.<\/p><\/div><\/article>
