Many brokers offer two platforms under one CRM. **Key takeaways** - MT5 is still the safest default for new brokers in 2027. - cTrader appeals to active and algorithmic traders. - Match-Trader suits web and mobile-first clients and prop firms. - An own-brand platform gives full control but needs more marketing. - One CRM can manage several platforms, so you can offer more than one. **Looking for an MT5 white label?** Launch your branded MetaTrader 5 server, with other platforms under one CRM.
