eToro vs Plus500

El veredicto siguiente solo está disponible en inglés.

eToro and Plus500 are the two names on this list built for people who don't want a MetaTrader terminal. Both run their own proprietary platforms and apps, both are regulated by the FCA and ASIC in Tier-1, and both target newer traders — but they solve different problems. eToro is a social and multi-asset platform where copying other traders is the headline feature; Plus500 is a stripped-back, CFD-only interface that does one thing cleanly.

On raw cost, Plus500 has the edge: EUR/USD from 0.6 pips against eToro's 1.0. eToro counters on the entry point, opening accounts from $50 versus Plus500's $100. Both cap retail leverage at the regulated 1:30, so there is no daylight there. Neither offers third-party platforms, so your choice is really between eToro's copy-trading ecosystem and Plus500's minimalist speed.

For this page, Plus500 takes the fees round on the tighter spread, eToro takes accessibility on the lower minimum, and the trust round is level — both hold the same two Tier-1 licences. The tiebreaker is what you actually want to do: pick eToro if copy trading and a broad asset menu appeal, and Plus500 if you want the cheaper EUR/USD spread and a platform that stays out of your way.
