CyprusDEGIRO vs Trade Republic
What each one charges, who licenses it, and how they rank against each other country by country.
The short version
We rank both for stocks in 3 countries, and Trade Republic comes out ahead in every one of them.
We score each country separately, based on the company that would actually hold your account there, so check your own country in the table below.
We haven't found a fee they both publish in a way we can compare fairly, so the table below just shows what each one charges.
Both hold a top-tier licence from BaFin.
- We list both in the same 8 countries out of the 14 we cover.
- Only Trade Republic offers crypto.
- Local stock commissions, as each one publishes them: DEGIRO €1 commission + €1 handling fee per order (US stocks); Trade Republic per single trade, plus third-party costs and spreads; savings plans free (stocks and ETFs). They're priced on different bases, so we don't call a winner.
- Trade Republic gets more search attention than DEGIRO (Market Signal 51 vs 30). That tells you how well known it is, not how good it is.
Where you can use each one
