Monthly downloads of the leading eTrading apps in the U.S. 2017-2021

Published by Statista Research Department, May 20, 2025
Based on monthly downloads, Robinhood is by far the most popular eTrading app in the United States. In every month since January 2017, Robinhood has seen more downloads than any of its main competitors. Downloads of the app spiked in early 2021, amounting over three million downloads per month in January, February, April and May of 2021 - although it should be noted that an increase was seen around this time for all eTrading apps. The timing of this spike in popularity is likely influenced by the media attention paid to retail investors, generally using eTrading apps, coordinating their activity via social media to drive up the stock price of companies such as GameStop and AMC Entertainment.
