Buyer's guide

How to choose the right trading tool

Selecting the right trading platform is rarely about picking the market leader — it's about matching the tool to the shape of your team, workflow, and budget. Below we've broken down the questions we ask when evaluating 25 products in this category, so you can shortcut weeks of vendor demos and free-trial fatigue.

Define the primary job

Write down the single outcome you need — faster onboarding, lower cost per seat, better integrations. A trading tool that wins on one dimension usually loses on another; pick your dimension first.

Map your team size

Small teams (1–10) reward simplicity and per-seat pricing. Mid-market teams (10–200) need SSO, granular roles, and audit logs. Enterprise buyers should shortlist only vendors with published SOC 2 reports.

Score total cost of ownership

The sticker price is the smallest number. Add implementation, migration, add-on modules, training, and the eventual switching cost. Multiply year-one pricing by three for a realistic 3-year TCO.

Stress-test the integrations

The tools you already run — CRM, billing, identity, data warehouse — dictate what will work. Any shortlist candidate that can't native-integrate with your top 3 systems is a soft no.

Feature checklist

Key features to look for in 1970

We scored every trading vendor on the shortlist against the same feature matrix. If a candidate misses more than two of these, we recommend moving on — the category has matured enough that all of these should be table stakes.

Native SSO / SAML with major identity providers
Granular role-based permissions and audit logs
REST + webhook API with published rate limits
Data export in open formats (CSV, JSON) — no lock-in
Regional data residency (US, EU, UK) options
Published uptime SLA and status page history
In-app customer support with < 24h first response
Transparent public pricing, not sales-gated tiers

Pricing tiers

What each pricing tier actually gets you

Free / Freemium

Enough for solo users and evaluators. Expect capped seats, no SSO, community support only. Great for validating that trading fits your workflow before spending.

Team / Pro

$10–$40 / seat

The sweet spot for most 10–100 person teams. Full feature access, standard integrations, email support, and typically monthly billing with no commit.

Business / Enterprise

Custom

Adds SSO, SCIM provisioning, advanced permissions, dedicated support, and legal review of DPAs. Annual contracts, often 20–40% higher than list.

Who uses this

Common use cases and buyer profiles

Startup founders

Need a trading tool that scales from 3 to 30 seats without a re-platform. Favor freemium + self-serve.

Operations leaders

Prioritise automation, integrations with the existing stack, and reporting dashboards leadership can read at a glance.

IT & security teams

Focus on SSO, audit trails, data residency, and DPA / SOC 2 documentation before the contract is signed.

Red flags

Red flags to avoid when shortlisting

×No public pricing page — always leads to inflated quotes.
×No published changelog or roadmap in the last 90 days.
×Support gated behind the top pricing tier.
×Contract auto-renew clause longer than 30 days notice.
×No native data export — you'll be locked in.
×Reviews concentrated on a single date (paid campaign signal).

Glossary

Terms every trading buyer should know

SSO (Single Sign-On): Lets employees sign in with your identity provider (Okta, Google, Microsoft) instead of a separate password.
SCIM provisioning: Automates creating and deprovisioning user accounts based on your HR or identity system.
SOC 2 Type II: Third-party attestation that a vendor's security controls actually operated over a 6–12 month period.
DPA (Data Processing Agreement): Contract required under GDPR when a vendor processes personal data on your behalf.
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): The full 3-year cost including licenses, implementation, training, and switching costs — not just the sticker.
SLA (Service Level Agreement): Contractual uptime and response-time commitments — check the credit clauses, not just the percentage.
