Changes in 2025

New awards

For 2025, we honored brokers across 21 diverse categories, keeping pace with today’s dynamic brokerage landscape. The growing popularity of ETF investments and TradingView integration led to dedicated categories for these services, alongside new categories for business accounts and fund investments. We’ve also streamlined our recommendations by removing broader categories like discount brokers and less popular assets like bonds. Our refined selection better aligns with current market trends and user needs, focusing on the most relevant and sought-after services in today’s trading environment.

Winners’ landscape

This year’s results show remarkable consistency at the top. Of our existing categories, 15 brokers successfully defended their crown, with only one category seeing a new champion. While our five new award categories introduced some fresh faces to the winner’s circle, the overall picture reveals the continued excellence of established industry leaders who keep raising the bar for quality service.

Methodology changes

Our ranking criteria reflect shifting market trends, user feedback, and our own expertise. We’ve increased emphasis on fundamental aspects like safety, customer service, and deposits/withdrawals. Trading-wise, we’ve given more weight to growing areas like forex, futures, and crypto trading, while reducing focus on traditional categories such as stock trading and educational resources. Our robust analysis still draws from over 600 data points across more than 100 brokers. Want the full picture? Click below to check out our detailed methodology.
