How Does Pluang Differ from Other Investment Apps in Indonesia?
Pluang puts seven asset classes, from crypto and gold to US and Indonesian stocks, in one app and one account, so you don't need a separate investment app for each market. It offers 2,000+ assets, starting from Rp10,000 for crypto and gold or US$1 for US stocks, with fractional US shares and a 24-Hour Market for US stocks and ETFs marked "24" in the app. Each product runs through its own licensed company supervised by OJK or Bappebti, as listed on Pluang's licences page. Which app suits you depends on the markets you want and the fees for the products you use, so compare those for your own case.
