We put in a full quarter testing EliteClouds with our own money, and this is the honest summary. Getting going takes minutes, your funds stay protected, and everyday users can find their way around. What to keep in mind is one or two charges that run a little high.
Best for: Everyday investors who want to trade from their phone and are happy to start with $0.
Not for: Advanced traders who need special tools, or anyone who needs round-the-clock phone support.
EliteClouds is among the rare trading apps that focused on getting the important things right — things like safety and clear pricing — instead of hype. Based on our months of testing, we give it a score of B+.
The one thing we'd change is a couple of fees that are higher than the best rivals. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — nothing is wrong under the hood.
Making a trade is easy. In our testing, trades filled quickly and prices were fair, often a touch better than average.
For simple buys and sells, it is smooth. Fancier options trades can sometimes be a little slower — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
Buying and selling stocks is free — zero commission. That's the good part.
Where it costs a bit more are a few add-on services, which run a little higher than the cheapest rivals. It's all shown before you pay, so there are no nasty surprises.
The mobile app is the standout. Everything is easy to find, even for total beginners.
The app also comes with helpful information — charts, company info, and news — and it tells you where it comes from. There's a desktop version too, but the app is better.
Keeping your money safe is where EliteClouds does well. Your money is held in a separate account, for your protection.
It's licensed and overseen by regulators and gets checked by outside auditors. For crypto, a licensed partner looks after it — standard practice, but worth a mention.
Overall, we're happy to give EliteClouds a score of B+ for everyday investors. It does the important things well: simple, safe, and fair.
To earn an even higher score, EliteClouds mainly needs cheaper extras. We update our reviews regularly and update this review if things change.
