Interactive Investor review: fees, accounts and what customers say

Flat monthly fee that gets cheaper the more you invest

4.6 on Trustpilot (Excellent)Fees verified July 2026

The short version

Interactive Investor charges a flat monthly subscription instead of a percentage. On a £200,000 portfolio, £5.99 a month is a fraction of what percentage-fee platforms charge, which is why ii keeps winning larger DIY investors.

The equation flips for small pots: £71.88 a year on £10,000 is 0.7%, more than almost any rival. Work out your portfolio size first, then decide.

Best for: Portfolios above roughly £60k where a flat fee beats percentage charges.
