In-depth analysis
Entry and fees: Both are supervised by BaFin; the difference is the fee logic. finanzen.net zero asks for no minimum deposit and charges a €0 order fee from €500 of order value, €1 per trade below that. Scalable Capital needs a first €1 transfer for verification and charges €0.99 per trade on the FREE Broker; PRIME+ costs €4.99 a month, with its flat rate applying from €250 of order value. If you buy less often but in amounts of €500 or more, finanzen.net zero charges no order fee. If you place many orders between €250 and €500, you pay €1 each there, and past a certain number of trades PRIME+ becomes cheaper. finanzen.net zero lists free savings plans as an explicit strength.
Products and platforms: Stocks, ETFs, funds and derivatives are available at both, and options trading at neither. Scalable Capital adds bonds and crypto ETPs and an integrated robo-advisor; finanzen.net zero offers crypto. Trading venues differ: finanzen.net zero trades only via gettex, Scalable Capital via gettex and Xetra. Execution is quoted at around 50–100 ms at both. Both offer app and web; finanzen.net zero is also linked to the finanzen.net portal but lists limited order types as a weakness.
Profile and verdict: finanzen.net zero (4.0/5 from 670 reviews) was founded in 2019 and sits in Karlsruhe. Scalable Capital (4.4/5 from 1,200 reviews) has been around since 2014 and sits in Munich. With the same supervisor and a similar range, your trading pattern decides: if you bundle orders of €500 or more and use savings plans, finanzen.net zero charges no order fee. If you trade actively, want Xetra as a second venue or a robo-advisor, Scalable Capital is the better home. Neither offers options.
