What kind of sites get cited
This is what AI links to as its sources, which is not the same as the brands it names above. AI often recommends a provider by name but sends the citation to a publisher or affiliate instead, so “First-party brand” means a link to the provider’s own website. Here is the mix by engine.

The themes behind the recommendations
Looking past the brand names, these are the concepts and buyer intent the AI answers kept returning to for this product. Each finding starts with what the engines foreground, then what it means for you.
Trading app answers are defined by three words: commission-free, mobile, multi-asset. This category is separated from share dealing by being app-led and crypto-inclusive.
Commission-free and mobile-first are the entry ticket
Answers assume zero commissions and a mobile-first experience as the baseline. Buyers expect both, so an app without them does not get surfaced.
Stocks and crypto under one roof
The models reward apps that combine equities and crypto in a single product. The implied buyer wants both asset types together, which favours multi-asset platforms.
Active traders are a distinct segment
Answers call out apps suited to more active or advanced traders separately. Apps should pick whether they serve casual or active users, because the AI sorts them that way.
