Freetrade

Freetrade is a UK retail investment platform, founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, that offers commission-free investing in more than 8,600 stocks, ETFs, investment trusts, mutual funds, gilts and UK Treasury bills across four account types — a stocks and shares ISA, a Junior ISA, a self-invested personal pension (SIPP) and a general investment account — on three subscription plans (Basic at £0/month, Standard and Plus). It operates a mobile app and a web platform at web.freetrade.io, serves over 1.6 million users, and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (firm reference number 783189) as a member firm of the London Stock Exchange. Freetrade Limited (company number 09797821) was acquired by IG Group Holdings plc in April 2025 for £160m and continues to operate as an independently branded business. Freetrade publishes no public developer API, developer portal, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/MCP contract or client SDK — a private GraphQL gateway backs its own web platform but has introspection disabled and no published schema or terms for third-party use — so its machine-readable public surface is a hand-curated llms.txt at freetrade.io/llms.txt plus an Intercom-hosted help-centre llms.txt.

Freetrade is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Investing, Stock Trading, Brokerage, and Financial-Services.

Freetrade’s developer surface includes engineering blog, product news, changelog, pricing, signup flow, support, and 18 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/freetrade: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
