TradeZero vs Robinhood

TradeZero vs Robinhood Comparison Table 2024
TradeZero	Robinhood
Review 2.6	Review 0.9 We do not recommend trading with Robinhood. Their business practices have harmed traders and their "free" trading offer has been criticized for actually costing their traders millions of dollars.

TradeZero is a stock and ETF broker established in the Bahamas in 2015. Though the global entity is regulated offshore, the US subsidiary is overseen by FINRA with SIPC registration. The powerful proprietary trading software makes it a popular choice for active day traders.	Robinhood is a stock broker and financial services firm based in California. The broker offers commission-free stocks, cryptos and ETFs, plus other products such as cash cards and retirement accounts. Despite its robust regulation, Robinhood has been involved in numerous scandals and security breaches since 2020. We urge investors to exercise caution.

Comment by Reviewer
"We recommend TradeZero for active stock traders looking for zero commissions, powerful software and extended hours trading."	"Robinhood is aimed at traders looking for stocks and crypto investing opportunities with additional perks. However, the brokerage's recent business practices mean the brand isn't a good option if you want a reliable and trustworthy broker."
