Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Questrade Edge at 4.5 against Brim's 3.8. Questrade Edge also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (97 vs 9). Brim's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
