Verdict
Fund investors who want a broad range of active and passive funds with no dealing charge. Fidelity's 0.35% rate is cheaper than HL for funds, and it offers a junior ISA for families.
Cost-conscious investors who want commission-free trading across ETFs, shares, and now funds — all within an ISA at zero cost. The app-only experience suits mobile-first investors. Paid Standard (£59.88/yr) and Plus (£119.88/yr) plans offer lower FX fees and priority support.
