Dodl Pension Review - A low-cost, beginner pension option?
15 Feb, 2023
A fun and friendly app for beginners
Low cost, mobile-only and easy on the jargon. Would suit newbies and the less confident, or those that want access to the UK's largest companies without expensive dealing charges.
This app is a nice solution for beginner investors or those with simpler needs. The fees are very reasonable and there is enough choice without it being overwhelming. Sometimes less is more. A nice option for those starting out – and also from a very credible established provider with a good pedigree and track record. Good for starter ISAs and Lifetime ISAs.

Customer Reviews of Dodl Pension
We collect reviews and share feedback from real users to give you the best information about providers.
Dodl by AJ Bell describes itself as an 'easy-to-use no-nonsense investment app', focusing on a younger audience making their first investment. It aims to cut out all the jargon and fuss to make investing a simple, scare-free experience.
The app could also work well for users who are happy to have access to a limited range of shares and funds for a low fee, from a big name. There isn’t much investment analysis available but it is simple and straightforward.
Mobile & Apps
Dodl is mobile-only. The app has full functionality, allowing users to view holdings, performance, trade, and learn more about both investing in general and how Dodl works.
The app includes a 'learn' tab where you can build your investment knowledge or get support from Team Dodl's friendly expert 'monsters' via instant message.
There's a red monster on hand to guide, support and educate you about investing in general.
A green monster for all your tech troubleshooting and investing ideas.
An orange monster to help you grow your investments and reach your goals.

Dodl has lots of useful, easy-to-digest content for investing newbies, with articles on topics like ‘financial goals and investing for your future’, ‘understanding the charges’, and ‘how buying and selling investments works’.
