FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
What is LetsInvest?
LetsInvest is an independent research publication for Indian retail investors. It publishes verified pricing for stock brokers and mutual-fund platforms, head-to-head comparisons, plain-English guides, and free calculators that run entirely in the browser.
Is LetsInvest free to use?
Yes. Every calculator and comparison is free and account-less. The site is funded by affiliate commissions when readers open accounts through tracked links, which never change a ranking.
How is LetsInvest's pricing data verified?
Every fee row carries the official source it was read from and a verification date. Rows still being confirmed are labelled Confirming instead of showing a bare number, and corrections ship within days of being reported.
Is LetsInvest a SEBI-registered investment adviser?
No. LetsInvest is a research publication, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. Content is educational and never personalised advice; for account issues readers must contact their broker directly.
How does LetsInvest make money?
Through affiliate commissions when a reader opens an account via a tracked go-link. Partnerships buy tracking, never rankings: commissions are disclosed on every monetised page and the methodology is public.
Do LetsInvest calculators store what I type?
No. All calculators run client-side in the browser: nothing a visitor types is transmitted or stored.
Why LetsInvest
Research you can audit.
We don't ask you to trust our numbers. We show you where they come from.
01
Verified pricing
Every fee carries a source and a verification date. Unverified figures are labelled, never hidden.
02
Editorial independence
Rankings are never sold. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every monetised page.
03
Structured data
One broker record powers directories, reviews, comparisons and calculators — update once, correct everywhere.
