IQ Option vs Binarium
IQ Option
4.0/5
The most complete platform and apps of the three, from a group with a CySEC-licensed EU arm. Binary products, however, come only from its unregulated international entity.
Best for: Experienced users who want strong charts and a desktop app
Binarium
3.4/5
The cheapest entry in this ranking (USD 5) and long expiry choices, but no regulator, no dispute body and a thin public footprint.
Best for: Testing with the smallest possible deposit
