Investmate review
Short courses and risk-free trading practice for mobile learners starting out.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Investmate is Capital.com’s free mobile education app for people beginning to learn finance, investing and CFD trading. Its course material covers trading fundamentals, stocks, commodities, indices, charts and strategies. The short, structured lessons suit learners who want to study in small sessions rather than start with a broad personal-finance curriculum. It is aimed at solo learners and small-scale study, not at people looking for budgeting or credit guidance.
The learning format brings several study aids together: tailored courses and educational content, interactive quizzes, videos, strategy tips and a financial glossary with jargon-free explanations. Lessons are presented as cards, and saved-content pinning gives learners a way to return to material. Some lessons can take about three minutes, making the app suitable for brief study periods. Its simulated trading practice offers a place to test decisions without risking real capital; this is educational practice rather than real-market execution.
Investmate is listed for iOS and Android, and its deployment is mobile only. The published product details describe it as free, with a free plan, so there is no paid tier to weigh against its learning features. That makes it a fit for learners seeking no-cost, mobile-first introductions to finance and trading. Its limits are equally relevant: it does not provide desktop access, and its subject focus is narrower than apps built around everyday budgeting and credit. Choose it for guided trading education and simulated practice; look elsewhere if those broader money-management topics are central to your learning.
