Our team spent a full quarter testing Thriventage with real money, and this is the honest summary. It's easy to get started, it looks after your money, and most people won't feel lost. The main thing to watch is one or two charges that run a little high.
Best for: First-time investors who want something easy to use and hate hidden costs.
Not for: People who trade a lot of foreign currencies, because an all-in-one app won't match a dedicated service for that.
Thriventage is one of the few trading apps that put its money into being reliable — reliability and fair fees — rather than flashy ads. Based on our months of testing, we rate it A-.
The only thing holding it back is a few charges that are higher than the best rivals. Happily, those are simple fixes — nothing is wrong under the hood.
Making a trade is easy. In our testing, everything went through without fuss and prices were fair, which isn't always true elsewhere.
If you stick to regular stocks, it is smooth. Complex strategies occasionally lagged a bit — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
Stock trades cost you nothing — zero commission. That's a big plus.
Where it costs a bit more are certain extras, which run a little higher than the cheapest rivals. It's all shown before you pay, so there are no nasty surprises.
The mobile app is the standout. Everything is easy to find, even on day one.
You get useful research built in — prices, news, and simple charts — so you can trust it. The website is fine as well, but the app is better.
This is where the platform earns trust. Your cash is stored separately, which protects you if anything goes wrong.
The platform is regulated in more than one country and passes independent security checks. If you also hold crypto, a licensed partner looks after it — which is worth knowing.
Overall, we're happy to give Thriventage a score of A- for regular users. It nails what matters: easy to use, safe, and honest about costs.
To earn an even higher score, Thriventage would only need to lower a few charges. We update our reviews regularly and let you know if anything changes.
For regular stocks, yes. If you use advanced options strategies, you may notice small delays. Full-time forex traders might prefer a specialist app.
No. Thriventage shows all costs up front — no monthly charge, no inactivity fee. A few add-ons cost more, but never hidden.
Yes, it is. Your money is kept in a separate account, so it's protected if the company ever fails. Regulators and independent auditors also keep watch.
Yes, you can. Moving your account in is supported, and Thriventage helps cover the switching cost within reason. It usually takes a few business days.
We were impressed. Help is available any time by chat and replies are quick. Harder issues get passed to an expert without the runaround. The only gap is phone support on weekends.
The minimum to begin is $0. You can add more whenever you like. Signing up is free.
You can open a standard account, and retirement savings accounts. Opening one is free and quick, though a couple take a day or so to set up.
From add-on services, such as transfers or premium features, and behind-the-scenes interest. Buying and selling shares costs nothing.
