Comment by Reviewer
"Kraken will suit traders looking for a diverse list of cryptos including Bitcoin and a good security track record."	"Revolut is a cut above the competition for mobile traders, sporting a genuinely intuitive app, five pricing plans to suit different needs (Standard, Plus, Premium, Metal and Ultra), custom alerts, company performance metrics, financial news, and interactive quizzes. "
Pros
Very good security track record with no hacks in a decade since launch Excellent range of 220+ more established cryptocurrencies NFT marketplace and crypto staking available Great trading platform and mobile app Low exchange fees on Kraken Pro 50x leverage on futures trading Low minimum deposit of $10 3D secure required Mobile investing Crypto staking	The app delivers a superb investing environment with a slick design and a packed ‘Discover’ section with daily top movers, collections like ‘Technology’ and ‘Utilities’ and popular stocks. Revolut offers one of the smoothest fully digital sign-up processes we’ve seen, kickstarted through a QR code and taking less than 5 minutes. Trade a growing roster of 2000+ stocks, 185+ cryptos and precious metals like gold, silver and platinum with fees starting from 0%. Revolut uses cutting-edge security features with multiple layers, from PINs and passcodes to biometrics and one-time passwords, with $590M saved in fraudulent transactions.
Cons
Slow verification process on Pro account Does not support many newer altcoins Low leverage on spot trading Does not accept fiat deposits Slow verification times	The Revolut app is an excellent starting point for casual investors but testing reveals its charting package falls short for advanced traders with just two charts (line and candlestick) and six timeframes (1D to 5Y). While the range of shares, commodities and cryptocurrencies is growing, Revolut still lacks popular asset classes like ETFs and does not support margin trading, trailing alternatives like Trade Republic. Some users may find Revolut’s pricing structure confusing; while basic accounts have zero monthly fees, you may need to pay for foreign exchange beyond the specified limit and ATM withdrawals.
