Trading Features: Share.Market does not offer advanced features such as trading from charts, basket orders, or GTT (Good-Til-Cancelled) orders. There is no call & trade facility. New platform: As a relatively new provider, Share.Market's platform may have fewer features than more established brokers. Limited range of mutual funds: ShareMarket may only offer a subset of the mutual funds available in India. Better apps: Some say it's better to use apps specialising in mutual funds, such as Zerodha, Grow and Upstock. You can also use your bank's app to invest in mutual funds, but most offer regular plans. PhonePe charges commissions of up to 1% on regular plans, which are deducted when you withdraw money. Other apps like Zerodha and Groww offer direct plans that don't charge commissions.
