Samco vs 5paisa vs Zerodha

Zerodha provides a range of mobile apps for its customers based on different services. These include:

• Zerodha Kite: Online trading platform for stock and commodity trading

• Zerodha Coin: For mutual funds investments

• Zerodha Varsity: Stock marketing lessons

• Zerodha Sentinel: Market alerts and monitoring for stocks, futures and options  on the cloud

• Pulse by Zerodha: For latest market news and updates.

Zerodha is one of the leading and most popular stock brokers in India, with a massive client base created over years. Beginners often prefer trading with the cheapest brokers, and Zerodha, with a flat fee model at Rs 20, fits perfectly in this parameter. Additionally, Zerodha also provides online education apps, support portal, and discussion forums which prove to be of great assistance to beginner level investors. However, Zerodha being a discount broker does not assist with research, advisory or recommendations. This makes it a challenge for new investors who often find it difficult to make these decisions.

Overall, considering the many helpful services it offers, Zerodha can be considered as a good option for beginner level investors.
