# BrokerFit

> Independent, data-driven broker comparison for CIS and EU investors. We score brokers on fees, safety and regulation with a transparent methodology — no pay-to-rank. Tools over marketing.

BrokerFit helps investors answer "is this broker safe?", "X vs Y — which is better?" and "what will I actually pay in fees?" with objective, sourced data rather than affiliate-driven rankings. All brokers are ranked on merit; methodology and data sources are public.
