How we evaluated this comparison
Reader decision
We start with the decision a reader is trying to make: choosing a provider, choosing a workflow, or understanding whether two products are even comparable.
Provider data
We compare structured records for Zoya, Islamicly, including category, score, market list, fees, minimums, features, and Shariah disclosure fields.
Shariah workflow
We separate platform availability from halal suitability. The page checks whether the provider helps with screening, certification, purification, or portfolio construction.
User risk
We flag cases where account country, minimum deposit, product type, leverage, staking, lending, or fee structure can change the practical recommendation.
We do not rely on affiliate availability to choose a winner. The comparison starts with the reader's practical decision, then checks platform category, market access, minimums, fees, Shariah disclosure, and workflow fit.
Side-by-side comparison
We start with the practical decision factors readers usually check first: product job, market access, minimums, cost model, Shariah signal, strengths, and watch-outs.

Decision Notes
Zoya is best for fast, clean stock checks. Islamicly may fit users who want more learning context alongside screening.
Choose Zoya if...
Zoya is a better fit when your main need is stocks & etfs, minimum deposit is not the main filter, and you want a stronger visible Shariah signal. The practical question is whether its supported markets, product structure, and fee model match how you actually plan to invest.
Skip Zoya if...
Skip or delay Zoya if you need a clearly stated account minimum before comparing providers, your country is not among the 3 listed markets, or you cannot verify the current certificate scope on the provider's own materials. Also avoid using any platform feature that introduces leverage, interest, lending, or unclear product exposure unless you have reviewed it separately.

How to choose between them
Ease of use
Compare the daily workflow: search speed, portfolio import, alerts, mobile experience, reporting, support, and how easy it is to repeat the same review process before every investment decision.
Screening notes
The key question is how much of the halal workflow is handled by the platform itself. Check whether screening rules, scholar oversight, holdings review, dividend purification, and update frequency are clearly documented.
Education
Education matters because it changes the actual investor experience, not just the marketing label. Compare how each platform handles this point in account setup, product selection, ongoing monitoring, and exit or transfer steps.
Portfolio workflow
Separate managed allocation from research tooling. Some platforms help build or manage a portfolio; others only help decide whether a stock, fund, or product belongs in a separate brokerage account.
Shariah and risk notes
Zoya
The directory does not treat platform availability as a halal ruling. Investors should review holdings, product terms, leverage, interest exposure, purification needs, and local guidance. The platform has a positive certification signal in the directory, but users should still confirm the current certificate, scope, and product coverage.
Islamicly
The directory does not treat platform availability as a halal ruling. Investors should review holdings, product terms, leverage, interest exposure, purification needs, and local guidance. The platform has a positive certification signal in the directory, but users should still confirm the current certificate, scope, and product coverage.
FAQ
Which is better in Zoya vs Islamicly?
There is no single winner for every investor. Zoya may be better for one use case, while Islamicly may be better when country access, fees, account type, or Shariah documentation matter more.
Should I choose only by overall score?
No. The score is a starting point. A lower-scored platform can still be the better choice if it supports your country, account type, minimum deposit, product category, and halal review workflow.
Does being listed here mean the platform is halal for every user?
No. Platform listings are research aids, not religious rulings. Investors still need to verify the exact product, holdings, financing structure, fees, and any Shariah certificate or methodology that applies to their situation.
