In this head to head comparison of FxPro vs Axi, we will compare the trading platforms, mobile apps, range of investments, costs, market research, and more. Let's dive in.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 51% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
FxPro, established in 2006, and Axi, founded in 2007, are both notable online brokers in the trading industry. Neither is publicly traded, but FxPro stands out as a bank, unlike Axi. When it comes to regulatory credentials, both brokers hold two Tier-1 licenses, which are highly trusted according to ForexBrokers.com, alongside one Tier-2 license each, marking them as trusted. FxPro, however, is slightly ahead with a Trust Score of 93, placing it in the highly trusted category, while Axi holds a Trust Score of 82, designating it as trusted but not at the same high level as FxPro.
These Trust Scores provide valuable insights for potential traders assessing the reliability and security offered by these brokers. With both brokers holding reputable Tier-1 licenses, clients can feel confident in regulation and oversight. Nonetheless, if considering the overall Trust Score for decision-making, FxPro seems to offer a slightly more secure and reliable option compared to Axi.

For commissions and fees, both FxPro and Axi hold 4 out of 5 stars, yet their category rankings differ: FxPro is #33 of 63 brokers, while Axi is #44 of 63 (ForexBrokers.com). FxPro’s pricing generally sits above the industry average, and Axi does not publish average spread data, which makes a direct apples-to-apples cost comparison less straightforward.
FxPro offers multiple pricing models across platforms. On MT4, you can choose variable or fixed spreads; MT5 supports only variable spreads and market execution. Execution on MT4 can be instant (no slippage, but possible requotes) or market (possible slippage, no requotes). FxPro’s cTrader uses commission-based pricing, with an effective EUR/USD cost of about 1.27 pips (0.37-pip average spread plus 0.9-pip commission equivalent; August 2020). Variable EUR/USD spreads were about 1.58 pips with market execution on MT4 (1.51 pips on MT5) and 1.71 pips with instant execution (August 2020). Note: cTrader has no minimum distance for stop/limit orders, whereas MetaTrader requires at least 1 pip, even on the Elite account. FxPro’s Elite discounts can reach up to 30%, though similar programs at some competitors can still work out cheaper overall.
Axi’s commissions-and-fees rating matches FxPro at 4 stars, but it ranks lower at #44 of 63. Because Axi’s average spread data is not available, traders weighing these two brokers may find FxPro’s published figures more transparent for estimating typical trading costs—especially for EUR/USD on cTrader—while recognizing that Axi’s final costs will depend on live market conditions and account setup.

FxPro lists 2,249 tradeable symbols and 70 forex pairs, while Axi offers 175 symbols and 65 pairs. Both support forex trading (via CFDs or spot contracts), offer copy trading, and provide access to cryptocurrency through CFDs—not direct coin purchases. Neither broker offers U.S.-listed stocks as real, exchange-traded securities; however, FxPro does offer international exchange-traded shares (not CFDs), whereas Axi does not.
For range of investments, ForexBrokers.com rates FxPro 4 stars (29th of 63) and Axi 3.5 stars (57th of 63). In short, FxPro is better for traders who want a broader instrument list and the ability to buy certain international shares, while Axi suits those focused mainly on core forex and CFD markets.

Dive deeper: Best Copy Trading Platforms.
FxPro and Axi both make it easy to test strategies with free demo (paper) trading accounts. Each broker offers Windows desktop and web-based platforms, supports MetaTrader 4 (MT4), and includes copy trading along with the ability to place trades directly from charts. The key differences: FxPro also provides its own in-house trading platform and offers MetaTrader 5 (MT5), while Axi does not have a proprietary platform and does not support MT5.
For trading platforms and tools, FxPro earns 4 stars and ranks 17th out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while Axi earns 3.5 stars and ranks 64th. If you want more platform choice—especially MT5 plus an in-house option—FxPro stands out. If you primarily use MT4 and want copy trading on familiar third-party platforms, Axi can fit the bill.

Both FxPro and Axi offer iPhone and Android trading apps with price alerts and the ability to draw trendlines on stock and forex charts. The key differences are in convenience features: FxPro syncs your watchlists between the mobile app and your online account, while Axi does not. FxPro also auto-saves your chart drawings; Axi’s app does not save them automatically.
If you care about charting depth, FxPro provides 65 technical studies versus Axi’s 30. Reflecting these gaps, FxPro earns 4.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #15 out of 63 brokers for Mobile Trading Apps on ForexBrokers.com, while Axi scores 3.5 stars and ranks #60. In short, Axi covers the basics with alerts and chart tools, but FxPro adds synced watchlists, auto-saved drawings, and more indicators for a smoother mobile trading experience.

FxPro and Axi both provide forex and CFD education that meets the basic benchmark of at least 10 learning pieces, and each has a library of 10+ beginner-focused trading videos—useful if you’re starting from scratch. A key difference is live learning: Axi hosts ongoing client webinars at least once a month, while FxPro does not. Neither broker offers 10 or more advanced-level videos, so traders who progress beyond the basics may need to look elsewhere for deeper lessons.
In independent reviews, FxPro earns 4 stars for Education and ranks #18 out of 63 brokers at ForexBrokers.com, while Axi earns 3 stars and ranks #27. For beginners who want the highest-rated overall education, FxPro has the edge. If live webinars are a priority for real-time tips and Q&A, Axi is the better fit.
