Equiti vs Pepperstone
A side-by-side evidence check. Missing values stay missing; a minimum spread is not a typical trading cost.

Standard and Premier have different pricing and deposit requirements. Tier-1 bank wording does not identify the client-money bank or jurisdiction. The brand has multiple entity routes. Its UAE legal page describes an LLC introduction route to Pepperstone Markets Limited. This does not establish the contracting entity for every DIFC customer.
What this comparison can establish
The captured sources establish only the fields shown. They do not establish which broker is cheapest for your account or where your individual funds will be held. Ask both firms for the same instrument, account type, trade size and holding period.
Compare a fee scenario →What to resolve for Equiti and Pepperstone
Both profiles have captured values for named source entity, published platforms. These values need matching account scope before any price comparison.
At least one side still lacks: AED account currency, EUR/USD spread, commission, client-money location. Request these details from both firms for the same UAE-resident account and instrument. Missing values cannot establish a winner.
Compare the same spread basis and trading window
Equiti publishes a Standard typical EUR/USD spread; Pepperstone describes raw-plus-markup or raw-plus-commission pricing. The missing input is the relevant Pepperstone raw spread over a comparable period, plus the actual entity and payment route.
A useful break-even check
Using 1.4 pips as the Equiti Standard scenario input, Pepperstone Standard breaks even when its raw spread is 0.4 pips. Native-platform Razor breaks even at 0.7 pips after adding the equivalent 0.7-pip commission. These thresholds exclude holding, slippage, conversion and bank fees. They do not show that either broker achieved those spreads.
