so as you can see they have all the tools you need to day trade or invest long-term.

Really 0 commission?

Yes, 0. They provide all of these tools for almost free, yes almost. There is a 75$ fee anytime you transfer any securities or active positions you are in to another brokerage. While Webull isn’t going to charge you any fees for making a trade, the SEC and FINRA require fees that are baked into your trades.

According to the app’s site, those fees are as follows:

1. SEC: $23.10 per $1 million you trade, with a minimum of $0.01
2. FINRA: $0.000119 per share, with a minimum fee of $0.01

These are fees you’ll pay every time you make a trade on any app that lets you buy and sell stock and other securities; they’re not specific to Webull.

Webull vs Robinhood

Everyone talks about Robinhood and how Webull stacks up against it, here is our consensus:

Webull is better for serious investors who want to do their own learning and make their own decisions based on the most up-to-date data available.While Webull is definitely the more complex app, the two apps do have some basic things in common. You can use both of them to buy and trade stocks and cryptocurrency, and both of them provide the ability to buy on the margin.

Robinhood is better for the beginner investors as it's extremely easy to use but once again lacks many core tools.

Both apps require a $2,000 starting deposit for a margin account – Robinhood calls theirs “Robinhood Gold”. Whereas Webull charges you a percentage to make merging purchases, Robinhood charges dollar amounts ranging from $6 to $200.

Our Conclusion: Pros and Cons of Webull

After spending some time reviewing the features of WeBull, I gotta say it's really good. I am just amazed that it can bake all those investing and technical tools while at the same time making the app very user friendly for intermediate and expert investors, for beginners it can be overwhelming until you educate yourself.

We also think it’s a big advantage that Webull offers a virtual portfolio through which you can make fictional decisions about your assets and see how those decisions play out over time. This would be one of many ways for a new investor to learn his or her preferred strategies.

The downside to the app is that it’s not very user-friendly for newcomers. There’s a lot going on when you open the app up. This is a heavy-duty investment platform. If you’re looking for something simpler, try Robinhood. Their user experience is friendlier and more design-focused that Webull.

If your looking to get started investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies or your an expert and want to try a new stock broker check out Webull.

Overall we prefer Webull over Robinhood, what are your thoughts?
