I've been a finvasia user for about a year. It suits my needs ( I don't follow daily stocks, just buy during dip or when a sector I follow has policy changes)
When you are serious about long term investment with plans of a sizeable corpus it is not a good idea to bother about 300-400 AMC charges (it will be really negligible with a decent size portfolio). There would be many things which would be easy with big discount brokers like upstox, zerodha (ease of operations, customer support, withdrawals wat not). My personal opinion only feel free to ignore.
