Platform Costs

The AIC has published a useful table of the comparable costs of various investment platforms. See https://www.theaic.co.uk/aic/news/press-releases/aic-updates-platform-comparison-tables-to-help-investment-trust-investors

But as they warn, although cost is very important: “Cost is not the only factor investment trust investors need to consider. They should think about the level of service they require, which accounts they need, and even more fundamentally, whether it’s possible to access all the trusts they want on the platform. We hope our platform comparison tables are useful to investors and advisers in making this important decision.”

Personally I would not touch any platform that does not provide an easy mechanism to vote my shares. But the AIC cost table is a good starting point for research.
