About Robinhood
Robinhood is a US brokerage built around a phone-first experience. The app lets you trade stocks, ETFs and options without commissions, and the store listing also mentions prediction markets and technical indicators such as moving averages and RSI for chart analysis.
It offers custom price alerts and advanced charts for more active investors, while keeping the sign-up and trading flow simple enough for beginners. An optional paid tier, Robinhood Gold, is listed at $5 per month or $50 per year and adds features such as interest on uninvested cash, larger instant deposits and margin interest benefits for eligible customers. The app also has a web version for use on a computer, and its cash management and retirement features have grown over time. Education content explains basic investing terms for newcomers.
It suits people in the United States who want a straightforward, low-cost way to start investing from a phone. The app is free to download and commission-free for stocks, ETFs and options, though other fees may apply. As with any brokerage, investments can lose value, and you must open and verify an account before trading.
Robinhood Gold is optional, so start on the free tier and upgrade only if you would use the extras. Check which products are open to you, as availability depends on region.
