anyone use this, i know its 5.99 a month but is it worth it? 
i mention them over t212 as the app runs a lot better on my android 8.1 phone and i like their emails and interface.

There are a lot more S&S ISA providers than the T212 and Freetrade. Is there a reason to only mention those ?

ease of signing up and low fees, any recommendations?

I use T212 via web browser, which I prefer to the app, and compared to Freetrade it has no account fee and its FX fee is only 0.15%. Do you have a tablet? T212 has an iPad app. T212 still allows fractional shares in Isas, something that Freetrade has suspended for now whilst it argues with HMRC over whether it's allowed or not.

I also have a Freetrade Isa but for me it's thrown in for free with the £10pm 'Plus' option that gives me access to some small cap investment trusts I like and which T212 doesn't usually execute trades in very quickly.

Didn't you have a thread on something similar the other day? Looking at that it reminds me that T212 has a 1% cashback offer.

Are there any other comparison sites for investing platforms? 
for example you can use money supermarket to compare saving accounts.
