Charges are higher than other brokers. If you want features and to pay AMC go for zerodha the charges are lower than upstox. If you don't want to give AMC go for groww it to have low charges as compared to upstox but having less features.

I'm long term investor in particular, so squaring off the underperforming stocks and stocks under some external issues is very painful due to very high DP charges on sell side, plus MMC charges are also a masked charges which I missed while selecting my broker. The mobile application is very good, and has many technical indicators to use at same time, we can see news related to that company at the same interface! I hope everyone finds it useful. ??
