Verdict
These two are the closest thing to like-for-like in our database: both are app-first, both publish $0 on US stocks and ETFs and $0 on standard options contracts, and both hold the shortest US registration records here — Webull Financial LLC at CRD 289063 and eToro USA Securities Inc. at CRD 298361, the highest in our set. One difference decides it for most readers: Webull publishes traditional, Roth and rollover IRAs, and eToro publishes individual taxable accounts only.
Zero commissions on stocks, ETFs and standard options, with a $75 charge to leave.

What actually separates them
No retirement account at eToro
eToro publishes individual taxable accounts and nothing else — no IRA, no joint, no custodial, no trust. That is why it scores 3 on account types, the lowest here. Webull publishes taxable, traditional IRA, Roth IRA, rollover IRA and margin. For anyone investing for retirement in a tax-advantaged wrapper, this is the entire comparison.
Crypto is published at one and unverified at the other
eToro charges a flat 1% to buy or sell crypto, stated plainly on its US fees page. We could not confirm crypto pricing at Webull from a primary source, so we record it as unverified rather than assuming it. A flat 1% is expensive against dedicated crypto venues, but it is published — and a published high price is easier to plan around than an unpublished one.
What each charges you to leave
Webull charges $75 per outgoing stock transfer, with incoming transfers free. eToro does not publish an account transfer fee on the US pages we could read, and its miscellaneous fee schedule sits behind a help centre we could not retrieve, so we record it as unverified. Webull’s $75 is a known cost; eToro’s is an unknown one, which is not the same as zero.
Both are narrow, one is narrower
Webull publishes stocks, ETFs, options and fractional shares, with no mutual funds, and bonds and futures unconfirmed. eToro publishes stocks, ETFs, options, crypto and fractional shares, with no mutual funds, bonds or futures — the narrowest published range in our set. Neither is a place to build a bond ladder or hold a fund portfolio.
Registration length is the safety story for both
Both are active SEC-registered broker-dealers and SIPC members, so custody protection matches the rest of the set, and we identified no enforcement matter against either. Both score 7, below the incumbents, purely on how recently they registered. Neither score should be read as a warning — only as less operating history to look at.
Consider Webull if
You want an IRA, you want a known transfer-out cost rather than an unpublished one, or you want the marginally broader confirmed product range.
Consider eToro (US) if
You want crypto priced on the same published schedule as your equities, you only ever needed a taxable account, and you accept a narrower product range to get it.
These are conditionals describing which published facts favour which firm, not recommendations. Neither is a statement about what is suitable for you.
