A charge (£0) free ISA, that’s easy to use with a wide range of investments offered. It seems to good to be true, but I’ve used it now for 18 months without a glitch. The customer care is responsive to questions and very positive and helpful when you need assistance. I’ve just transferred more cash into my account and it was a doddle, just use the button in Freetrade and it fills in its details for the bank transfer so there are no mistakes, the transfer took seconds.

Great app - very intuitive & easy to use. Constantly improving the app, features and listing more instruments to invest in. Very excited specifically about the latest changes in the paid plans and making ISA free.

What I love most: Commission-free trading: Buying and selling shares without hidden fees makes investing accessible to everyone. Fractional shares: You don’t need hundreds to invest in big-name companies—just a few pounds and a bit of curiosity. Slick design: The app feels modern and easy to navigate, even for beginners. Educational content: Their in-app insights and weekly emails help me understand the market better without being overwhelming. ISA and SIPP options: For those thinking long-term, it’s great to have tax-efficient accounts built right in. Whether you're dipping your toes into the stock market or managing a growing portfolio, Freetrade makes the experience feel empowering rather than intimidating. It’s not just an app—it’s a gateway to financial confidence.

Having tried all the other share trading apps, I have come to the conclusion that Freetrade is the best 10/10. That’s why I chose them for my SIPP.

I have been using Freetrade platform to invest my ISA for the last 5 years. They have made easy to buy and sell shares. Their fees are reasonable. In my opinion they are far better than any other platform.
