About the author
The TraderView research desk compiles platform data from official documentation, app store listings and public fee schedules, and records every claim against a dated source. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the desk publishes 'Not publicly confirmed' rather than an estimate.
Editorial review checks every published page against the scoring methodology, verifies that outbound destinations match the link registry, and confirms that affiliate relationships are disclosed before the page goes live.
