Limited range of mutual funds: ShareMarket may only offer a subset of the mutual funds available in India.

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.
