Nothing in this table: every capability Fidelity covers is covered here too. The reasons to stay would be habit, an existing licence, or data and coverage outside what a feature table measures.

No. TradeGrub is a charting and execution layer that connects to a broker you already hold — 15 or more integrations including TD, Tradier, E*TRADE, Ally, Alpaca, Webull, and Robinhood — or to your own crypto exchange accounts across around 80 exchanges. Orders route through your existing account; TradeGrub does not custody funds or act as the broker-dealer.
No. TradeGrub is an independent charting and execution layer that connects to a broker account you hold, Fidelity included where supported.
Yes. The free tier includes all 306 indicators, 87 drawing tools, 96 pattern detectors, unlimited alerts, and backtesting, with no ads and no per-chart indicator caps. Pro at $5.99 per month, or $4.99 billed yearly, adds the TradeGrub data feed, cloud sync, and server-side alert evaluation.
Feature counts for TradeGrub are read directly from the product registries rather than from marketing copy. Competitor rows reflect publicly documented capabilities and published pricing at the time of the last review, and pricing in particular changes often, so treat the other columns as a starting point and verify anything you are about to make a purchase decision on.
