Scalable Capital is an automated trading app built for people who are new to this. After using it for months, we give it A-. The app is the best part — it's clean and quick. Full details are below.
Best for: People who are just starting out who want a simple app and don't want to pay extra fees.
Not for: People who trade a lot of foreign currencies, as a general app can't beat a specialist tool for that.
Scalable Capital is one of the few AI trading platforms that put its money into being reliable — things like safety and clear pricing — instead of hype. From what we saw in testing, we give it a score of A-.
The one thing we'd change is a couple of fees that are higher than the best rivals. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — the app itself is solid.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. In our testing, trades filled quickly and you usually got a fair price, which isn't always true elsewhere.
If you stick to regular stocks, it does the job well. Fancier options trades weren't always as quick — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
There's no charge to trade stocks — nothing per trade. That's a big plus.
The extra costs to know about are things like sending money out by bank transfer, which could be lower. None of it is hidden, so there are no nasty surprises.
The mobile app is the standout. It's fast, tidy, and easy to find your way around, even for total beginners.
There's handy info inside the app — charts, company info, and news — with the sources shown. There's a desktop version too, though the app is the star.
Keeping your money safe is where Scalable Capital does well. Your money is held in a separate account, so it's protected even if the company runs into trouble.
The platform is regulated in more than one country and is reviewed by outside experts. For crypto, it's kept with a trusted, licensed partner — which is worth knowing.
In the end, Scalable Capital earns a rating of A- for regular users. It nails what matters: simple, safe, and fair.
To get top marks, Scalable Capital just needs to trim a couple of fees. We'll keep checking back every so often.
Absolutely. You can bring your holdings across, and Scalable Capital often refunds the exit fee your old app charges up to a limit. The move takes a few days.
You can start with $0. You can add more whenever you like. Setting up costs nothing.
Yes, it is. Your funds are held apart from the company's own money, for your safety. The platform is also regulated and checked by outside auditors.
Yes — whenever you like. There's no waiting period. Withdrawals usually arrive within a day, with no fee from the platform.
For regular stocks, yes. If you use advanced options strategies, it can be a little slower. Full-time forex traders may find cheaper options elsewhere.
