Spread-Bet.co.uk Reveals Top Mobile Spread Betting Apps and Brokers for 2025
Spreadex secured the No. 1 spot thanks to its exceptional all-round performance. Reviewers praised its simple navigation and intuitive controls. This was backed up by highly competitive spreads, which beat the industry average on seven of the nine most commonly traded pairs.
Justin Grossbard, co-founder of Spread-Bet.co.uk and trading expert, explained why Spreadex performed so well in these tests: 'For traders of all backgrounds, a spread betting app needs to offer three things. These are an intuitive design, a comprehensive range of features, and competitive trading conditions.'
'Spreadex provides all three. It combines an easy-to-use app with advanced charting. At the same time, it offers more than 11,000 spread betting markets, with spreads starting from only 0.90 pips. Considering all this together, it had to be top of the pile overall," added Grossbard.
Other high-scoring brokers include Pepperstone, which ranked second. Pepperstone offers some of the best spreads in the market, beating the industry standard for all of the assets tested by the Spread-Bet.co.uk team, including forex pairs as well as UK, U.S., German, Hong Kong, and Australian shares. Pepperstone delivered better-than-average spreads across all of these asset categories.
OANDA rounded out the top three, with Spread-Bet.co.uk naming it the best spread betting app for beginners. With stake sizes starting at just £0.01, it offers one of the lowest-risk entry points to the market — an advantage few other brokers match.
In total, Spread-Bet.co.uk featured eight apps in its 2025 rankings. CMC Markets, opens new tab was praised for its professional-grade spread betting tools, IG Markets, opens new tab for its extensive product range, and City Index, opens new tab for its seamless integration with MetaTrader 4.
FXCM, opens new tab and AvaTrade, opens new tab also made the list, ranking seventh and eighth, respectively. FXCM stood out for its support across multiple mobile platforms, while AvaTrade earned praise for its robust features on Apple iOS.
To determine the top eight mobile spread betting apps and brokers, the Spread-Bet.co.uk team employed a comprehensive and multi-layered evaluation process. First, the team conducted hands-on testing of each app, allowing them to assess usability, performance and overall effectiveness based on their own expertise. As experienced spread betting professionals, they drew on industry knowledge to deliver informed, first-hand assessments.
In addition to internal testing, the team analyzed user reviews and community feedback, identifying which platforms were receiving the most positive responses from real users. Only apps that scored well in both expert evaluations and consumer sentiment earned a place on the final list.
To ensure results remain accurate and relevant, Spread-Bet.co.uk regularly updates its rankings of top brokers and spread betting software — providing users with current, trustworthy guidance as they navigate the market.

Morning Mail: Putin dampens peace talk hope, what parents think of YouTube, could Toronto's house price slump happen here?
Good morning. Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, is pouring cold water on hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine war, claiming that he is 'far from' meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed Israel intends to take military control of all of Gaza, temporarily. Three years ago house prices in Sydney and Toronto in Canada looked the same, but since then they have widely diverged. We ask: could a similar property slump happen here? Plus: we look at why some Australian netballers are choosing to turn their backs on the sport. 'Shocking' | Forest across an area more than 1,000 times the size of the Sydney CBD was bulldozed in Queensland in 2022-23, new figures have revealed – sparking warnings of risks to endangered species. Analysis | At the start of 2022, Sydney and Toronto had equivalent home prices. But while Australia's urban property values have kept rising, Canada's have crashed.

AI debate | The government is facing rising pressure to confirm how it plans to regulate fast-growing AI technology, with the Coalition critical of what it sees as mixed messaging from Labor ministers. Russia-Ukraine war | Vladimir Putin has said he is not ready to meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a refusal that could derail prospects of a face-to-face bilateral summit with Donald Trump next week; Kyiv has opened a war crime inquiry into the head of a notorious Russian prison. Trump tariffs | More than 60 countries are scrambling to respond to the latest wave of US tariffs announced by Donald Trump, amid dire warnings of job losses and trade impacts; Narendra Modi says India is ready to 'pay a heavy price' as it seeks to resist US tariffs. Gaza crisis | Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to push ahead with a full military occupation of Gaza – but says Israel doesn't want to 'keep it'; the footballer known as 'Palestinian Pelé' has been killed by an Israeli attack in Gaza. 'Significant step' | OpenAI says it has taken a leap forward with its latest upgrades to ChatGPT – though there are still 'many things' missing in its quest to create a system able to do humans' jobs. Tackling plastics? | More than 200 industry lobbyists are attending the UN's meeting to hammer out a global plastics treaty, raising fears that moves to curb plastic production may be undermined. Newsroom edition: the politics of the Sydney Harbour Bridge protest A sea of people marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the weekend to protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. But police, organisers and the protesters themselves all portrayed the same public event in a very different light. Bridie Jabour speaks with Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher about the political fallout from the Harbour Bridge protest.

He is among the rough sleepers at Sydney's Central Station who have faced increasingly restrictive rule changes. Officials say they're 'surging' support services in the area – but, as Caitlin Cassidy discovers, Nikau and his friends want them to start with compassion. Ashley Zukerman is that guy: you'll know him from something and you'll have enjoyed him in it. It might be from Succession, Apple Cider Vinegar, or Apple's dystopian drama Silo. Next, Melbourne International film festival-goers will see him in One More Shot, alongside Emily Browning and a magic bottle of tequila. He talks to Sian Cain about disliking heroes, playing 'punchable men' – and finally being proud of his work.

Nat Barr calls out EV false advertising
Published: | Nat Barr has called for a crackdown on false advertising after it was revealed several electric vehicle brands had misled motorists about the driving range of their cars. The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) tested five EVs in its Real-World Testing Program and found some models drove up to 111km less on the road than they did in laboratory testing. The 2023 BYD Atto 3 was the worst performer, with a driving range of 369km on a single charge — 23 per cent less than the 480km recorded in its lab testing. The 2024 Tesla Model 3 had a real-world range of 441km, which was 14 per cent less than the 513km it achieved in the lab. The 2022 Kia EV6 and the 2024 Tesla Model Y both had driving ranges of eight per cent shorter than their lab tests. The best performer was the 2024 Smart #3, which logged a real-world driving range of 432km, which was five per cent below its compulsory lab test. Barr asked Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli on Thursday morning if companies should be forced to be more forthright about their cars' ability in the real world. 'Just looking at the reasons why you get less than advertised on the battery,' Barr said. 'Hot weather can change it, cold weather can change it, driving on different terrain can change it, stopping and starting can change it, braking can change it. 'A lot can change the amount you get from the standardised testing. Basically, everything can change it. 'Do you think they should maybe change what they advertise?' Natoli said the lack of accuracy about the range of EVs was concerning for regional owners and that 'range anxiety is a real thing'. 'I guess, for the moment, it is a wait and see with that, particularly when you get outside of the cities, it's a real danger,' she said. The AAA found last month that 60 per cent of likely EV buyers flagged range and recharging as the main reasons that might prevent them from buying an EV. 'As more EVs enter our market, our testing will help consumers understand which new market entrants measure up on battery range,' AAA managing director Michael Bradley said. The AAA said Aussies deserved to know how vehicles performed on roads. The Real-World Testing Program has tested 114 fuel-powered cars, vans, and utes since it began in 2023, finding that more than 77 per cent exceeded fuel consumption recorded in lab tests.

Why the Freddo creator's daughter refuses to buy it - and what it says about the economy
Changing in cost but seemingly never in popularity, the Freddo chocolate bar has become a health check for the UK economy. When he created the confectionary almost a century ago in Australia, British teenager Harry Melbourne couldn't have foreseen he was also crafting a barometer for the cost of living. But that's the function of the once-10p chocolate frog in some corners of the internet, where memes track how its price has risen - up to as high as £1 this year - and how fans feel about it. Harry's own daughter shares their fury. In childhood she would wait for her father to come home with boxes of Freddos, but she now has vowed never to buy one again. "Dad was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it," Leonie Wadin, 74, told Money from her home in Melbourne. "He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate. "Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo." The origin story As much as the modern Freddo would upset her father, Leonie said he "never knew" its appeal had reached his native UK and would have been "so proud". Harry was only 14, she said, when he cooked up the bar at the confectionery company MacPherson Robertson in 1930, having changed the mind of a boss who wanted a chocolate mouse. "He said children are scared of mice, so why not a frog? Because kids go down to the lake and catch tadpoles," Leonie said. By the time Harry was 15, Freddo - named after his "best mate" Fred - was on the shelves in Australia, selling for a penny. It doesn't sell for a penny any more, but does the maths support people being so annoyed? The numbers There are different ways of looking at it: the price of a Freddo, how many you can buy relative to how much you're earning and the rate of inflation. Let's start with the first two. In 1999, the Freddo cost 10p at a time when the newly introduced national minimum wage was £3.60 for workers aged 22 and over. That meant your hourly pay could get you 36 bars (ignoring tax and national insurance). Today, a Freddo typically costs at least 30p (though some retailers sell it for 35p), and the minimum wage is £12.21 (as of April this year), giving you 40 bars. This argument undermines the memes - as does any argument about shrinkflation because Freddo's size has stayed fairly consistent in the UK, weighing in at 18g. The British consumer doesn't appear to be getting short-changed (though in Australia, it's a lighter bar at 12g, which may explain Leonie's particular ire). Inflation and how much a Freddo should cost now To further understand Leonie's grievance (as well as everyone else's), you might look at inflation, which measures how fast the cost of goods and services is rising. At its UK relaunch in 1994, a Freddo cost 10p and it stayed that way until 2007. If its price had increased in line with inflation, today a bar would go for about 21p, not 30p or 35p, according to the Bank of England's inflation calculator. But measures of inflation, specifically the consumer price index (CPI), look at the average price rise of goods and services bought by households, not changes for each individual product. Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, says two key Freddo ingredients explain its specific price rise since the turn of the century. "Both cocoa and sugar prices have shot up, with the former up more than 750% between then and now, and raw sugar prices up almost 250%," she said. "So finding that the price of a Freddo has jumped 200% in the intervening period shouldn't surprise anyone." Wages have increased, she added, "but of course it would cost you more to get to the shop in the first place, as fuel and travel prices have also risen". All of which suggests - and this might shock you - that the internet's anger may not be justified. But there's another way of looking at it... Emotion, rather than maths Memes aren't reflective of maths so much as sentiment, the way people feel. Spending £1 now gets you three Freddo bars, at best. In 1999, that got you 10 - and this is evocative. As Hewson, from AJ Bell, put it: "That childish glee of popping into a shop with £1 and coming out with 10 wrapped bars was tangible. "Knowing that today we'd only emerge with three or fewer chocolate treats feels unfair." This may explain why the bar is perceived as too expensive now. Freddo gets political The Bank of England's governor is mandated to keep inflation at around 2% each year. If the Bank misses this target by 1% - meaning if inflation falls below 1% or above 3% - the governor has to send a letter to the chancellor explaining why. While that doesn't mean the governor is about to make any apology for the price of Freddo, one MP recently tried to force the issue directly. Labour's Patrick Hurley, who represents Southport, said last October he would launch a petition to bring the price down to 5p and send it straight to Cadbury. He got the idea after he was questioned by children at a secondary school, though he told the BBC it was a "whimsical, light-hearted thing we can do" to engage the youth in politics. "If you start talking about gas bills," he said, "the average 14-year-old might switch off, but if you talk about the price of chocolate bars..." Money reached out to Hurley, but he didn't get back to us. The petition doesn't appear on his website now. 'Freddo is never gonna die' For Leonie, the sentiment goes deeper than the price - she feels Cadbury has made all that money from her father's idea. But the sweets giant did keep in touch with Harry, even up to his 90th birthday, four years before he died, when it sent a Freddo cake and a small Freddo statue. Leonie has five children, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They all know Harry's story. And for all her gripes over the chocolate's soaring cost, she doesn't want them to miss out on the excitement she felt when her dad brought boxes home from work. "They're very proud of their great-granddad, they still buy them, they love them," Leonie said of the youngest in her family. And that's the legacy she wants her family to cherish after her. "Carry on through every heritage, that's what I want," she said. "The Freddo has to be passed on, Freddo is never going to die. "It will always be there… I just want it all passed down, so that the frog is always in our lives." And if you're wondering what Cadbury has to say... We got in touch with Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, and this is what they want to say: "Freddo has endured popularity across generations since originally launching in the UK back in 1973, and continues to be a key part of Cadbury's range today. "Whist it's important to stress that as a manufacturer we do not set the retail prices for products sold in shops, our manufacturing and supply chain costs have increased significantly over the past 50 years, and Freddo has become more expensive to make. "We have absorbed these increased costs wherever possible, however on occasion we have made changes to our list prices or multipack sizes to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with the Freddo that they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect."
