Fractional Shares

eToro supports fractional share purchases, letting you invest a fixed amount rather than buying whole shares.

Savings Plans

eToro's support for automated, recurring savings plans was not clearly confirmed from official sources at the time of writing - verify directly if this matters to you.

Pros & Limitations

Limitations
