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.

Libertex and PU Prime are close rivals on pricing, with both earning strong marks for commissions and fees. Libertex is rated 4 stars and ranks #21 out of 36 brokers in this category. Its forex pricing is built around a spread-plus-commission setup, with a recent EUR/USD spread of 0.3 pips and a commission of 5 euros per side on the broker’s own platform, or 6 euros per side on MT4 and MT5. That makes Libertex’s proprietary platform the cheaper choice for active forex traders, especially since the minimum deposit is just $10 and international wire transfers are free.
PU Prime is rated 4.0 stars and ranks #22 out of 36 brokers for commissions and fees, putting it just behind Libertex. Its costs vary by account type: Standard and Cent accounts keep trading costs inside the spread, while Prime and ECN accounts use lower spreads plus a separate commission. The Standard account starts from a $50 deposit with spreads from 1.3 pips and no commission, while Prime starts at $1,000 with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $3.50 commission per side per standard lot. For the lowest commission, ECN requires a $10,000 deposit and charges just $1 per side per lot.
In simple terms, Libertex may suit traders who want a low entry point and a clear fee structure on its own platform, while PU Prime offers more account choices for different budgets and trading styles. If you want the cheapest commission, PU Prime’s ECN account stands out, but if you want a lower starting deposit and a competitive all-in price on popular forex pairs, Libertex is also a strong pick.
