How We Compare Brokers
A consistent, five-factor scoring methodology
01
Five-factor scoring
BrokrRank scores every broker on regulation & safety (35%), trading costs (25%), platforms & tools (15%), asset selection (15%), and account opening (10%). Every score is independent — no broker pays to rank higher.
02
Regulation first
We only list brokers holding a Tier-1 licence from the FCA, ASIC, CySEC or DFSA. Regulation determines whether your funds are protected, whether you have legal recourse, and whether the broker meets enforceable conduct standards.
03
Updated for 2026
Reviews are refreshed regularly to reflect current spreads, fee structures, and platform changes. Where a broker's regulatory status or terms have materially changed, we update the review and flag it.
