United States
Compare brokers available to US residents
Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood and Webull are in the confirmed US set because they operate US broker-dealer businesses. This page lines them up so the differences in business model are visible. It does not tell you which to fund.
Thinkorswim at Schwab and the mobile tickets at Robinhood and Webull are different tools for different amounts of attention. Fidelity and Vanguard bring large fund businesses. Interactive Brokers is the multi-market name. Options approval, extended-hours sessions and crypto inside the same login are Not confirmed as identical across these firms. SIPC protection, where the entity is a member, is about missing assets after a failure, not about a stock that declined.
Fee, FX and minimum-deposit sorts stay off until those figures are sourced. Capability filters for options, futures, fractional shares and similar fields stay off for the same reason. Nothing here is ordered as best.
