How we use your review

We love customer reviews because it’s the only way we can check the user experience across a meaningful sample of independent people. We collect all of your reviews and use them to calculate the overall “You Say” score for each provider. We also use this customer rating in our analysis, to make sure we’re not rewarding companies which look good online but fail to deliver in practice. Finally we use the aggregated data in our research and consultancy with providers, so we can tell them what customers love or hate and help them to improve.

Compare charges

Have a look at the indicative costs per provider (for ISAs), based on how much YOU have to invest.

What do the orange buttons mean?

As our site costs grow we’ve switched on some 'introducer revenues'.

In the interests of transparency, if you click through to a site from an orange button, we get paid a fee. This has no impact on our reviews or ratings.

Cost

A 'robo' adviser offers up ready-made portfolios and so costs include both admin and investment charges

A platform is for those who prefer to pick their own investments – the costs will look cheaper here as we only include the admin charges – the investment fees depend on what you pick!

Grubby behaviour

We try really hard to keep our reviews genuinely representative. We have found a few providers trying to rubbish their competitors, leaving awful reviews. Of course, we don't publish these. WARNING - if you do this, we won't publish your reviews but we might publish your company's name! Stop being dishonest!
