For a while they were the only no commission player. Now that virtually everyone offers this there is not much to differentiate them but having a simpler interface. On the other hand the interface is simpler because it offers fewer securities/derivatives

As I mentioned, they were the driving force behind the industry moving to zero-commissions. Also, I do really like their app compared to Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, and e-trade. But I'm probably a Fidelity customer for life at this point.
