The scores are close: Exness rates 4.4/5 and FxPro rates 4.3/5. Exness has a marginal edge in our scoring, but the difference is small enough that your specific priorities — fees, platforms, or regulatory jurisdiction — should guide the final choice.
Exness starts from 0.3 pips, tighter than FxPro's 1.2 pips. Tighter spreads lower the cost per trade, which matters most for high-frequency and scalping strategies.
Exness has $1, while FxPro requires at least $100. This makes Exness more accessible for traders with limited starting capital.
Both Exness and FxPro hold licences from top-tier regulators, indicating a high standard of regulatory oversight. Check each broker's specific regulatory bodies to confirm coverage in your jurisdiction.
For beginners, two factors stand out: Exness requires a lower minimum deposit ($1), lowering the barrier to entry, and both brokers provide negative balance protection. Also compare demo account availability and educational resources before deciding.
Exness lists maximum leverage of 2000:1, while FxPro lists up to 500:1. Available leverage depends on your jurisdiction. EU retail clients under ESMA rules are capped at 1:30 on major forex pairs.
Exness charges $3.5 per lot, lower than FxPro's $7 per lot. Lower commissions benefit active traders who execute many trades per day.
Exness supports MetaTrader 5, MetaTrader 4, while FxPro supports cTrader, MetaTrader 5, Proprietary Web/Mobile, MetaTrader 4. Both provide MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4. FxPro has exclusive access to cTrader and Proprietary Web/Mobile.
Equally matched on FCA and CySEC oversight.
Exness is best for active traders due to 2000:1 leverage and a $1 minimum deposit.
Exness is better suited for scalpers: lower commission ($3.5/lot), tighter spreads from 0.30 pips.
FxPro is best for platform choice with MT4/MT5, cTrader, and proprietary web/mobile.
