Avenue vs SoFi

Prices, payments, fees and registration, side by side.

Market orders fill at once; marketable limit orders add a price cap.

The short answer

S&P 500 · Market orders · all sizes under $200,000

Per $10,000 of market orders in S&P 500 stocks, SoFi customers pay about $0.12 less than Avenue customers: $1.48 above the fair price against $1.60 above the fair price. That holds on identical trades too.

Avenue files no payment report of its own (another firm routes its orders); SoFi is paid about $0.10 per $10,000 order. Avenue's stock commission is not confirmed yet. Options: SoFi charges less ($0.00 vs $1.00 per contract).

Not a verdict on which broker is better overall; for your own habits, use the yearly cost calculator.
