A demo account lets you try a broker's platform with simulated money — useful for getting comfortable with the software, but it won't tell you about real fees, execution, or support quality. That's what the criteria-based findings on this site are for.
What does a broker demo account actually show me?
Usually the platform's interface and order flow with simulated funds — useful for getting a feel for the software, but it won't reveal real execution quality, fees on live trades, or support responsiveness.
Is this the same as this site's own free access?
No — a broker's demo account is a feature the broker itself offers for practicing trades. This site's own free report access is separate: it shows you the independent scoring and comparison data, not a trading simulator.
Do all brokers offer a demo account?
No — availability varies by broker, which is why it's checked and shown per broker rather than assumed.
