General
ClearView Brokers is an independent research and comparison platform for brokerage services. We provide tools and analysis to help you compare brokers on fees, features, regulation, and more. We are not a brokerage and do not provide financial advice.
Our basic broker comparison features are completely free. We also offer a 'Pro' subscription with advanced tools and in-depth data for more active investors and professionals. Our goal is to make essential information accessible to everyone.
We generate revenue through our 'Pro' subscriptions and, in some cases, from referral fees paid by brokers when a user clicks a link from our site and opens an account. This does not impact our ratings or reviews, which are based on a strict, independent methodology.
Data & Analysis
Our team of analysts gathers data directly from broker websites, customer service disclosures, and regulatory filings. We use a rigorous verification process and update our data regularly, typically on a quarterly basis, to reflect any changes in fees or services.
Absolutely. Our reputation is built on trust and objectivity. Our analysis follows a consistent, data-driven methodology for all brokers. Our commercial relationships do not influence our research outcomes, analysis, or the opinions expressed in our reviews.
Using the Platform
You can access our main comparison tools without an account. However, creating a free account allows you to save your comparisons, create personalized watchlists, and receive alerts about changes to brokers you follow.
Once you have chosen a broker using our platform, you can click the link to their website to begin the account opening process. This process is handled entirely by the broker on their secure platform. We do not collect any sensitive personal information for this purpose.
