Our verdict
InvestEngine is one of the cheapest ways to buy ETFs as they offer zero account fees for DIY investors as well as low-cost simple managed ETF portfolios. They also have a managed ETF investment service, for those that want help with what to invest in.
Is InvestEngine any good?
Yes, InvestEngine won “Best ETF Platform” in the 2025 Good Money Guide Awards.
InvestEngine makes it really simple to get started by investing in ETFs with zero commission, although the market range is a bit limited if you are looking for more complex asset classes. Plus, they also have a managed service for those who want an expert to build a diverse portfolio of ETFs for them.
Pricing: Top marks as it is actually free to buy and hold ETFs in a GIA and ISA (although keep in mind you have to pay ETF charges to the exchange). Plus, the InvestEngine SIPP is free and managed accounts are very low cost too
Market Access: InvestEngine only offer about 763 ETFs on their platform so are marked down a bit here. However, they do offer enough to build a diverse portfolio of exchange-traded funds.
Platform & App: Both are well built and easy to use, intuitive and cross-device
Customer Service: InvestEngine are easy to contact through chat (even on weekends) plus an active community board. There is no published phone number on the site though.
Research & Analysis: There are some good insights on their blog, with fairly active social channels (mainly investing tips or product highlights).

I recently started using InvestEngine to open my SIPP account
I’ve recently started using InvestEngine to open and manage my SIPP account. I’m self-employed so it’s really the only eligible pension for me. The process has been hassle-free. They’ve got a great interface and for the couple of queries I’ve had, customer service has been quick to respond. I wish it had the option to transfer AVIVA pensions, but apparently it’s coming so the only reason why it doesn’t have five stars.
Easy and Cheap
Allowed me to easily set up everything I wanted with the funds I wanted too. Double benefit for being free to use.
Simply the best
I used another provider before, but they started to charge £4 per month just for holding an account. With InvestEngine this is free of charge and you can find more options for investing as well.
Great platform
First time investor and found the platform really simple to use with lots of choice available for each risk level. Would highly recommend to all including those just staring out on their investment journey like me.
