Pros	Built-in bank-to-bank connections for transferring money rather than through a 3rd party. Account offerings for just about everything you could want (401(k), IRA, etc). Full-service platform that doesn’t depend on others. Everything is in-house.	Has an account type for everything you can imagine. Zero-fee mutual funds offer the lowest fees in the industry. Free trades for stocks, options, ETFs, and Fidelity funds.
Cons	The number of options may be overwhelming to someone getting started investing. Usability of the interface is focused on power users.	Sometimes confusing website due to the number of offerings. Multiple funds that invest in the same thing with different fees.
Promotions	None
Fees	$0 trade fee for stocks, options and ETFs $0.65 trade fee for options contracts $1.50 trade fee for future contracts See all fees	Expense ratios range from 0% up to over 1.3%.
