I was looking for investment apps with little money and I came across these 5, which are actually quite good if you’re just starting out. Most have low deposits and zero commissions, so they won’t break the bank when it comes to entry costs.

MiTrade seemed the simplest to me for beginners—you can get started with just $20. It has integrated TradingView charts, and the interface is clean, with no too-many unnecessary buttons. AvaTrade is more for people who already have experience; it offers MetaTrader 4 and 5, and if you access a professional account, you get more leverage.

Plus500 has an impressive number of assets, with more than 2800 CFDs. XM is also interesting if you’re the kind of person who likes high leverage numbers (up to 1000x, though watch out for the risk). And eToro is the one that stands out for copy trading, where you basically automatically copy the trades of more experienced traders.

Each one has its own “thing” depending on what you’re looking for. If it’s your first day, go with Mirade or eToro. If you already know what you’re doing, AvaTrade or XM. Plus500 if what draws you in is having options for assets. The important part is that before you put in real money, you practice with the demo accounts that all of them offer. Trading always involves risk, so no FOMO or random decisions.
