Our Verdict
Fidelity scores higher overall (9.3/10 vs 9.1/10) on our methodology, which weighs fees & pricing (30%), safety & regulation (30%), platform & tools (25%), service & funding (15%). That makes it the stronger all-round choice for most people.
But a higher score doesn't make it the right pick for you. Fidelity is built for us investors of all levels, while Questrade targets canadian investors starting out. If your situation matches the second description, the lower-scoring option is the better decision — the score measures general quality, not personal fit.
