How we test

Every tool covered on Brokerage Stack is set up with a live account and run against a standard scenario. We're not reading spec sheets or rewriting press releases — if a tool claims something, we time it or try it.

We re-check pricing and core claims monthly, since tools change plans and features often.

Affiliate disclosure

Brokerage Stack is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

This does not change our rankings. When a tool has no affiliate program, or when a cheaper/free option is the better fit, we say so plainly — see the tool-by-tool notes in each review.

We don't accept payment in exchange for placement, positive coverage, or ranking position.

Corrections

If you spot an error — outdated pricing, a discontinued feature, a changed affiliate program — this is a small, independent site and we'd rather fix it than leave it wrong.
