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 and Axi both offer mobile trading apps for iPhone and Android, complete with price alerts and watchlists that show real-time quotes. Both apps let you draw trendlines and switch between intraday, daily, and weekly time frames. The key differences are in charting and convenience: FxPro provides 65 technical studies versus Axi’s 30, automatically saves your chart drawings, and syncs watchlists between the mobile app and your online account so changes carry over. Axi does not sync watchlists and does not auto-save drawings.
When it comes to ratings, FxPro’s mobile trading app earns 4.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #15 of 63 brokers for Mobile Trading Apps, while Axi scores 3.5 stars and ranks #60. If you want deeper forex charting tools and seamless watchlist syncing, FxPro is the stronger pick; if you just need the basics on iPhone and Android, Axi still covers the essentials.
