Standard and Micro have very similar headline pricing in our data. Both show spreads of 1.1–1.8 pips, no separate trading commission, no minimum deposit and Market Execution. There is therefore no clear pricing advantage based on spread or commission alone. The more important distinction is account use: Standard is classified for beginners and general trading, while Micro focuses more specifically on smaller trade sizing. Traders who do not require the Micro structure may find Standard the more straightforward starting point.

This comparison introduces a more meaningful cost difference. Standard has spreads of 1.1–1.8 pips, no separate commission and no minimum deposit in our data, while Pro narrows the spread range to 0.6–1.0 pips with no separate commission but requires a $500 minimum deposit. Pro therefore has a clear displayed spread advantage, while Standard significantly lowers the entry requirement. The choice depends on whether accessibility or tighter spreads matter more to the trader.

The difference between Standard and Elite is larger because the pricing models are different. Standard has no separate commission and spreads of 1.1–1.8 pips, while Elite is listed at 0.0–0.2 pips with a $6-per-lot commission and a $500 minimum deposit. Standard offers simpler pricing and lower entry requirements, whereas Elite is aimed more directly at spread-sensitive trading. A proper comparison should include spread, commission and trading volume together.
