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 Vanguard if…
Passive investors who are happy using Vanguard's own fund range. At 0.15% with a £375/yr cap it's very competitive for portfolios up to £250,000 — and it's a trusted, household-name brand.
