How much would they differ in %?
It really depends on the currency pair and how much liquidity there is. For the major currencies (think USD:EUR) then around 10bps but for smaller pairs (think USD:AED) it could be 50bps.
Maybe even less for USD:EUR. the problem is a bank like Revolut will not be able to access the actual interbank rate either (it is a reference rate and only available to massive banks like HSBC) and so they will likely see a 10bps different. HSBC may get it for 3bps.
It is similar to the way people use ‘less’ instead of ‘fewer’. You can say it but it does not mean it is right.

“The company will be playing catch-up in the UK’s commission-free trading market, where apps such as Revolut, Freetrade and Trading212 have emerged to challenge brokers such as Hargreaves Lansdown and Interactive Investor, which continue to charge. Many of these newer rivals have already used Robinhood’s simple app design and its method of firing up interest from users before they launch.“

More I think about it the more I wish FT and RH would join forces to dominate!

It’s a good set of changes for their app. I like the design as well. A few of the above sound awful a lot like feature requests from this forum…

I’ll probably end up using both.
FreeTrade for my ISA and a mix of ETFs and high-conviction stocks - long term holdings.
RobinHood for my wife’s ISA and a mix of moonshot individual stocks and some casino-style options - closer to day-trading.
If the latter goes wrong, it’s on her ISA so I can blame her.

When I read this
I laughed like mad, cuz I saw it like a boomerang coming back.
And this
reinforced the boomerang.
Maybe this one helps
Ultimately, the point being that the similarities you so rightfully point are undeniable. And makes me wonder someone there must spend a awful lot of time surfing this forum

Yeah I’ll probably use both, Freetrade for Long Term Stocks and RH for Option Trading if I have any I want to gamble away.

“A small FX fee?” Is it a joke? They charge 0.5% in-out of the account.

It’s a screenshot that acts like a quote in my understanding. I don’t see a problem. I hope we don’t get to the point where we have to behave like

I posted a screenshot of something from T212 and it got flagged too. Dangerous territory when you start shutting down discussions about competitors.

If FYI posts on incoming UK rivals are retrospectively deleted on the regular basis, this is ridiculously defensive and immature. Bring this post back, whoever the moderator is - if anything it supports the Freetrade team for their hard work and lets everyone on this forum be aware of the market both as investors and users.
