Comment by Reviewer
"Deriv is ideal for active traders seeking alternative ways to speculate on global financial markets, from binaries, multipliers and accumulator options to its bespoke synthetic indices, which mimic real market movements and are available 24/7, allowing for continuous trading opportunities regardless of market hours. It remains one of the most trusted, longest-standing binary providers, earning the confidence of our team."	"Quotex is a stand-out option for active traders seeking fast, fixed-return trades with above-average payouts of up to 98%. The fast, fully digital onboarding process and low $10 minimum deposit also make it especially accessible for newer traders. The binary platform is regularly improved, featuring daily trading signals and a genuinely intuitive interface."
Pros
Deriv stands out with its innovative products, from multipliers and derived indices to its addition of accumulator options, providing exclusive short-term trading opportunities. Deriv has doubled its leverage on ETFs, from 1:5 to 1:10, providing greater potential returns with the same outlay, though of course leverage cuts both ways - losses too are amplified. Deriv revamped its app in 2025, now sporting a slicker interface alongside improved position management and streamlined contract details for smarter mobile trading, earning it DayTrading.com's 'Best Trading App' award. Account funding is a breeze with a very low minimum deposit of $5 and a huge selection of payment options, plus Tether was added to the cashier in 2023. Although response times trail alternatives in our personal experience, Deriv offers 24/7 support and is one of the few brokers to offer WhatsApp assistance. After integrating TradingView and adding MT5 web trader, Deriv now offers a first-class selection of charting tools across desktop, web and mobile devices.	Quotex lets you start trading with just $10, making it accessible for beginners and those wanting to test the platform with minimal risk. Withdrawals also start from $10, allowing easy access to funds. The web-based platform and app are intuitive based on our hands-on tests, with a clean design and simple order execution. They include multiple indicators and built-in trading signals, making them practical solutions for both beginners and more experienced traders. A free demo account with $10,000 in virtual funds lets new traders practice strategies and test the platform without risking real money. It's an excellent tool for beginners to gain experience.
Cons
Apart from the MFSA in the EU, Deriv lacks top-tier regulatory credentials, reducing the level of safeguards like access to investor compensation. Although there’s a basic blog, there's little in terms of technical analysis or market reports which could help active traders identify potential opportunities. While the Academy launched in 2021 is a step in the right direction, there is limited education on advanced trading topics for seasoned traders and no live webinars to upskill new traders. Leverage up to 1:1000 will appeal to traders with a large risk appetite but frustratingly there is no ability to flex the leverage in the account area.	Quotex is an offshore broker operating in a jurisdiction known for loose regulatory oversight. Unlike regulated brokers, it does not offer the same level of investor protection, dispute resolution, or fund security, making it riskier. Customer service is only available via email and social media, which can lead to slow response times in our experience. Competitors like Videforex provide 24/7 live chat and phone support, ensuring you get help quickly during technical or withdrawal problems. Quotex offers few market analysis tools and lacks real-time financial news, economic calendars, or in-depth research reports. Educational resources, such as courses, webinars, and expert insights, are also absent, making it less ideal for beginners.

App Review
Deriv excels with its straightforward app design, enhanced in 2025 with streamlined position management and clearer contract details, alongside its diverse trading opportunities, from traditional markets to custom indices that simulate real-world markets and offer 24-hour trading, including on weekends. The in-app chat assistance, which can’t be found at many alternatives, is also fast and reliable, providing an important layer of support for new users. These all helped Deriv secure DayTrading.com's 'Best Trading App' award in 2025.	Quotex offers a fully-featured trading app that's packed with helpful tools, from dynamic charting to in-built signals. It follows the same user-friendly design as the web-based desktop platform, ensuring a smooth transition whether you're trading from a computer, tablet or mobile device. The flexible design with light and dark modes is a nice touch.

Cryptocurrency
Deriv.com continues to offer a strong selection of 30+ crypto pairs - more than double the range offered by competitors like IQ Cent. It’s also one of the only binary providers to offer alternative ways to speculate on cryptos, including with leverage up to 1:2, doubling potential returns (and losses). DTrader sports a slick interface with clean charting tools to analyze short-term crypto price movements.	Quotex only offers binary options trading on a modest handful of major cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. However, it excels for crypto payouts, which stayed high during our tests in peak sessions, reaching 94% on Bitcoin. It’s also got one of the easiest to use platforms for beginner crypto binary traders.
