Penny's Take
A solid middle ground between the bare-bones commission-free apps and the pricier full-service platforms — you get a wide range of funds, shares, and ETFs alongside decent research tools, without paying Hargreaves Lansdown prices. The 0.25% platform fee is capped at £3.50 per month for shares, which keeps costs reasonable as your portfolio grows. Regular monthly investing via Direct Debit is free, which suits anyone building steadily over time.
