    Our verdict on Binarium

    Binarium is the cheapest way to test fixed-time trading here, and that is its main appeal. The complete absence of oversight places it low in our ranking.

    What you gain with Expert Option

    • iOS app

    What you give up

    • Platform & apps: 4.3 vs 4.7
    • Costs & minimums: 4.1 vs 4.8
    • Payments: 4.2 vs 4.6
    • Support: 3.9 vs 4.2
    • Tournaments

    Our verdict on Expert Option

    Expert Option is the most beginner-friendly interface of the three and has a usable app. Its lack of a government licence and a narrower asset list place it third. A reasonable alternative if the other two are unavailable to you.

    Skip it if: You want a wide asset list or longer-term analysis
