According to reviews, users generally view the fees and conditions positively. Users report fair prices and good conditions. Overall, the available user data contains mostly praise, while major criticism of fees is not a focal point.
Usability & User Experience
Users especially appreciate Revolut's clear and intuitive app. According to reviews, it is very easy to use, and the interface is repeatedly described as fast and straightforward. However, some users occasionally report display or compatibility issues, which means usability is sometimes seen as having room for improvement.
Users appreciate the clear layout and describe the app in many reviews as easy to use. However, according to reviews, the user navigation is also often perceived as not intuitive or somewhat confusing in places. Some users also report that registration and login do not always work smoothly, so from a user perspective the usability still has room for improvement.
Features & Offering
When it comes to features, users report mixed experiences. According to reviews, individual services are used gladly in everyday life, while some users would like familiar functions, cashback programs, or additional options such as cash deposits. It is also occasionally criticized that certain features do not work as expected or that advantages could be removed in the future.
Users are mainly looking for a tax-loss certificate in the app, two-factor authentication, and more filtering and sorting options. In addition, the lack of push notifications and a watchlist as a tab are mentioned. Some users also want movable logos and small improvements.
Stability & Security
Regarding stability and reliability, users report a mostly positive experience with Revolut. According to reviews, the app is repeatedly described as fast and reliable, which is appreciated by many users in everyday use. However, account issues or features not working as expected are occasionally mentioned; overall, though, feedback on reliability is largely positive.

Customer Support
When it comes to support, users speak rather cautiously about their experiences. According to reviews, it is occasionally criticized that bot support is offered instead of human help and that not every case is covered sufficiently. As a result, some users feel that support has room for improvement in certain situations.
Users sometimes report fast support, which is explicitly praised in some reviews. At the same time, according to reviews, it is mentioned more often that responses do not arrive or inquiries are not answered. Support is therefore perceived differently overall from a user perspective.

Verdict
In our overall rating Revolut leads with 4.3 against 2.7 for Traders Place.
On disclosed fees you pay €5.90 less at Traders Place per €1,000 purchase.
For most investors Revolut is therefore the better choice.
Revolut is considered one of the most versatile financial apps in the DACH region and is popular with users who want to manage crypto, banking, card payments, and currency exchange in a single application. With more than 300 tradeable cryptocurrencies, Revolut offers by far the broadest coin selection among the brokers compared here. The crypto business sits with the Cypriot entity Revolut Digital Assets (Europe) Ltd., which has held licence CASP001/25 in the CySEC MiCAR register since 20 October 2025. The entity previously named here, RT Digital Securities Cyprus Ltd., is no longer listed there.
Unlike many German neobrokers, Revolut enables both wallet transfers to external wallets and staking and recurring investments. Biometric verification for withdrawals is viewed positively as an additional security feature. Deposits are possible via SEPA, SEPA Instant Transfer, and credit card, which increases flexibility.
Costs call for caution: Revolut advertises exchange fees “from 0 %”, but the small print on the same page states that the fee depends on the plan and the trading volume, and that exchange-rate and subscription fees apply on top. No standard fee is given, neither on the crypto page nor in the fee schedule. Anyone who wants to know the total cost has to work it out for their own plan and their own order size. Revolut is therefore especially suitable for investors looking for a wide selection of coins with wallet functionality in an all-in-one financial app.
Traders Place is a comparatively young German broker (founded in 2023) that offers 59 cryptocurrencies in addition to stocks and ETFs. Crypto custody is handled by Tangany GmbH, which is licensed by BaFin and is regarded as regulatorily reliable in the DACH region. With savings plans from €1, the broker offers a low-threshold entry point for regular investing in cryptocurrencies.
For investors who prefer a German broker based in Germany and want to use crypto as a supplement to a classic securities account, Traders Place is seen as one of the newer alternatives. The platform can be used via app and web and covers a solid range of cryptocurrencies with 59 coins. Trading fees of 0.9 % are in the middle to upper range among the compared German brokers.
However, wallet transfers to your own wallets are not possible, and staking is currently not offered — both are occasionally criticized by users. The SMS-based 2FA and the limited deposit methods (SEPA transfer only) are also seen as room for improvement. Traders Place is therefore especially suitable for investors who want to try a young German broker with regulated custody and a broad coin offering and can do without wallet functionality.
