Capital.com Review (2026): App, Markets and Real Costs

Capital.com review 2026: zero-commission spread-only pricing, 3,000+ markets, a $20 minimum and MT4, MT5 and TradingView alongside its own app.

En resumen

Capital.com is the broker we rank highest for breadth of market and quality of mobile app, and the easiest of our five to start with at a $20 minimum. Pricing is spread-only with zero commission — one number, from 0.6 pips — which makes cost far easier to reason about than a raw-spread-plus-commission model. It carries over 3,000 markets across forex, shares, indices, commodities, crypto, ETFs and thematic baskets, and it is regulated by the FCA, CySEC, ASIC and the CMA in the UAE. Contrary to a widely repeated claim, Capital.com does support MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, as well as TradingView and API access, alongside its own web and mobile platform. Where it is weaker: spread-only pricing is not the cheapest model for a high-volume scalper, retail leverage is capped at 1:30 under FCA, ASIC and CySEC, and swap-free access is limited rather than universal.

Best for: market breadth and mobile trading — Capital.com lists 3,000+ markets and a $20 minimum
Cost model: zero commission, spread-only from 0.6 pips — one number, no commission arithmetic
Platforms: its own web and mobile app, plus MT4, MT5 and TradingView and API access
Regulation: FCA (UK) · CySEC (Cyprus) · ASIC (Australia) · CMA (UAE) — outside those, SCB Bahamas SIA-F245
Leverage: capped at 1:30 for retail clients under FCA, ASIC and CySEC; higher only for professional clients
Swap-free access is limited, not offered as standard on every account — check before you rely on it
Founded 2016, headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus

The app is the product

Most broker reviews treat the mobile app as an afterthought. For Capital.com it is the main reason to choose the account. The platform was built app-first rather than as a mobile wrapper around a desktop terminal, and it shows in the things that actually slow traders down: instrument search across thousands of markets, position management, and getting from an idea to a filled order in a few taps.

That is a genuine differentiator against MetaTrader-native brokers, where the mobile experience is functional but dated. If you place most of your trades from a phone, this is the strongest option among the brokers we rank — and it is worth weighing against Pepperstone's four-platform choice in our Pepperstone vs Capital.com comparison.

Does Capital.com support MetaTrader? Yes — MT4 and MT5 both

This deserves its own section because the opposite is repeated across a large number of broker-comparison sites and it is simply false. Capital.com supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView and API access, in addition to its own web and mobile platform.

The claim that it lacks MT5 appears to have spread as a narrative device — a neat contrast against MetaTrader-first brokers — and then propagated. If you are choosing between brokers on platform support, verify it on the broker's own platform page rather than on any comparison table, including ours. Our MT5 brokers guide covers how the five compare on MetaTrader support specifically.

What it costs, and when spread-only is the wrong model

Capital.com charges no commission on trades. Your cost is the spread, from 0.6 pips, and nothing else on the trade itself. For most traders this is the easiest cost model to reason about: one number, no per-lot arithmetic, no surprise at the end of a busy month.

It stops being the cheapest model at volume. A scalper running many round turns a day will usually pay less on a raw-spread-plus-commission account — that is precisely the trade-off our raw spread vs standard guide works through. If you are placing dozens of trades a day, price both models against your actual volume before assuming zero-commission means cheapest.

Regulation, including the UAE licence

Capital.com is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, CySEC in Cyprus, ASIC in Australia and the Securities and Commodities Authority (CMA) in the UAE. The UAE licence is worth naming explicitly rather than writing a bare "CMA", because that abbreviation also belongs to regulators in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Kenya, and a bare mention reads as a local licence that does not exist.

Clients outside those regimes are onboarded by Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, company number 209236B, registered in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and authorised by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas under licence SIA-F245. As with any broker, confirm on the register itself which entity your agreement names — our licence verification guide shows how.

Opening an account with Capital.com

Capital.com runs one spread-only CFD model and states it charges no commission on trades. It supports MT4, MT5, TradingView and API access alongside its own web and mobile platforms. Capital Com Online Investments Ltd (company number 209236B) is registered in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and authorised by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas, licence SIA-F245. 79.75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. This figure is entity-specific: Capital.com publishes 65% under the FCA and 74% in Germany, and the figure that applies to you depends on the entity your account is opened with. This is a paid affiliate link: we may earn a commission if you open an account. It does not change our ranking or what we publish about them. Visit Capital.com

Shares, indices and commodities on this account are traded as CFDs, not as ownership — you do not own the underlying asset and you have no shareholder rights. Our signals work with any broker; the paid Telegram subscription is broker-independent.

Preguntas frecuentes

For market breadth, mobile trading and low entry cost, yes — 3,000+ markets, a $20 minimum, zero commission and FCA, CySEC, ASIC and UAE CMA regulation. It is a weaker fit for high-volume scalpers, where a raw-spread-plus-commission account usually costs less.

Yes, both. Capital.com supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView and API access alongside its own web and mobile platform. The widely repeated claim that it has no MT5 is false.

$20, which is the second-lowest entry point among the brokers we rank and makes it a practical starting account for traders testing a strategy with small size.

No. Pricing is spread-only from 0.6 pips with zero commission on trades. That makes cost simple to calculate, though at high volume a raw-spread account with a separate commission is often cheaper overall.

Yes, by the Securities and Commodities Authority (CMA) in the UAE, alongside the FCA in the UK, CySEC in Cyprus and ASIC in Australia. Clients outside those regimes are onboarded by Capital Com Online Investments Ltd under SCB Bahamas licence SIA-F245.

Retail clients under FCA, ASIC and CySEC are capped at 1:30. Higher leverage is available only to clients who qualify as professional, which carries reduced regulatory protection.

Swap-free access is limited rather than offered as standard on every account, so confirm availability for your region and instrument set before opening. Whether a given structure meets your requirements is a question for a qualified religious authority.
