Verdict
Choose InvestEngine if…
Passive investors who want to build a low-cost ETF portfolio and never pay a platform fee. Ideal if you're happy with index funds and ETFs and don't need access to active funds or individual shares.
Choose Trading 212 if…
Active traders and ETF investors who want zero fees and a flexible ISA (so you can withdraw and re-invest within the same tax year). Note there is no SIPP, so not suitable as a standalone pension platform.
Use the calculator above to find the cheapest option for your specific portfolio size and investing style.
