Public vs Robinhood vs Webull
Public ($10/mo Premium) positions itself as a social investing platform with a focus on transparency and community. Robinhood Gold ($5/mo) adds margin, research, and higher cash yields. Webull offers advanced charting at no cost. For most retail investors, the free tiers of Robinhood or Webull provide adequate tools. Public Premium is best for investors who value the community and social features alongside analytics.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens to my investments if I cancel Public Premium?
- Nothing. Your investments remain in your Public account on the free tier. Canceling Premium only removes the advanced features - your portfolio is unaffected.
- Does Public.com charge trading fees?
- Public does not charge commission on stock and ETF trades on the free tier. Crypto trades have a 1–2.5% fee. Some order flow arrangements apply - Public does not use payment for order flow (PFOF) on equities, which differentiates it from Robinhood.
- Can I cancel Public and transfer my stocks to Fidelity?
- Yes. Initiate an ACATS transfer from your Fidelity account (the receiving brokerage initiates the transfer). Allow 3–7 business days. You can cancel Public Premium separately before or after the transfer.
