Review Alpaca?

Alpaca is praised for its robust API and user-friendly platform, enabling efficient trading of stocks, options, and crypto. Users appreciate its fast trading capabilities and well-documented Python SDK. The makers of Whale highlight Alpaca as a reliable banking partner. While most reviews are positive, noting superior customer experience and global trading support, a few users express concerns about fund withdrawal issues. Overall, Alpaca is favored for its developer-focused design and expanding product offerings.

Alpaca's Broker API is the best in the business. We wouldn't have been able to launch by now if not for their amazing new rebalancing API.

This is a scam. I used them for many months without issues. Then I needed to withdraw funds as markets started falling. They have flat out refused to allow me to withdraw my funds for over a week. No apology, no explanation. No one picks up the phone when I call. This is a scam, not a real brokerage. Run away!

From the moment I used the product years and years ago, I knew this would become a massive product with a huge userbase and reached out to get involved. API saves you a lot of time and it's designed for developers in mind. Easy onboarding.

I love Alpaca, not only for its outstanding APIs and platform, but also for Alpaca's dedication to enable trading globally. It's fantastic to see how Alpaca's constantly broadening its product offerings, and the recent introduction of Options adds another layer of excitement to its already impressive lineup. It would be wonderful if Alpaca could expand its crypto offering to Lebanon as well!
