In this head to head comparison of Capital.com vs TMGM, 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.
Capital.com, launched in 2016, and TMGM, established in 2013, are both prominent online brokers yet differ in certain regulatory aspects. Neither Capital.com nor TMGM is listed on any stock exchange, and neither operates as a bank. However, when it comes to licensing, Capital.com holds a slight edge with three Tier-1 licenses, signifying highly trusted status, alongside one Tier-2 license labeled as trusted. TMGM, meanwhile, has secured two Tier-1 licenses but lacks Tier-2 licenses, which may influence a trader's perception of its trustworthiness.
When evaluated by ForexBrokers.com, Capital.com earns a Trust Score of 87, placing it in the trusted category with a rating of 80-89, while TMGM scores 83, also sitting within the trusted range but slightly lower. These trust scores offer potential clients an insight into the level of security and reliability each broker provides, helping them make informed decisions based on their trading priorities and risk appetite.

When it comes to commissions and fees, Capital.com edges ahead for most forex traders. It earns 5 out of 5 stars and ranks #3 out of 63 brokers in the Commissions and Fees category, thanks to low, transparent pricing. TMGM is competitive—especially on its commission-based Edge account—but lands 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #37 out of 63, partly because up-to-date average spread data for the EUR/USD wasn’t available.
Capital.com’s pricing is slightly better than the industry average. Its EUR/USD dynamic spread is listed at 0.67 pips, and the verified average for April 2024 was 0.6712 pips—very low for major pairs and a strong draw for cost-conscious traders. Capital.com offers a universal retail account and a professional account for eligible traders; keep in mind that professional clients don’t receive the same regulatory protections as retail clients.
TMGM’s costs depend on the account you choose. The Classic account is spread-only, while the Edge account combines typically low spreads with a $3.50-per-side commission ($7 round trip) and no requotes—often the better pick for active traders. However, recent average spread figures for the EUR/USD weren’t available, which makes direct cost comparisons harder. For Islamic finance, swap-free (interest-free) trading is offered only on the Edge account, not the Classic.

Capital.com and TMGM both let you trade forex as CFDs or spot contracts, and each supports crypto derivatives (but not actual coin purchases). TMGM stands out for sheer variety with about 12,000 tradeable symbols, compared with Capital.com’s 5,585. If your focus is currency pairs, however, Capital.com lists 125 forex pairs versus 62 at TMGM. Neither broker offers direct, exchange-traded shares on U.S. or international markets (so no buying stocks like Apple or Vodafone outright).
For extras, TMGM offers copy trading while Capital.com does not. Both earn a 4.5/5 rating for Range of Investments from ForexBrokers.com, though TMGM ranks slightly higher (#18 of 63) than Capital.com (#23 of 63).

Capital.com and TMGM both offer mobile trading apps for iPhone and Android, making it easy to trade on the go. Each app supports price alerts for stocks or forex, helping you stay on top of market moves. One limitation to note is that neither broker syncs watchlist symbols between the mobile app and your online account, so changes made in one place won’t appear in the other.
For charting, the two apps are evenly matched: both include 30 technical studies, let you draw trendlines, and automatically save your drawings. Where they differ is in overall recognition. According to ForexBrokers.com, Capital.com earns 4.5 stars and ranks #11 out of 63 brokers for Mobile Trading Apps, while TMGM scores 4 stars and ranks #48. If ratings and rankings matter to you, Capital.com has the edge for mobile trading.
