HDFC Securities’ InvestRight app is the company’s main mobile app for trading, holding a demat, investing in mutual funds, and applying to IPOs. It aims to give both new and experienced investors one place to manage family investments and trade in the Indian markets.
What is InvestRight? (Very simple)
InvestRight is a mobile app from HDFC Securities that combines a trading account and a demat account with other services — equities, derivatives, mutual funds, ETFs, and IPOs. It’s built to be a single app where you can see holdings, place orders, track markets, and use research and recommendations from HDFC Securities. (Google Play)

Pros — Why people like it
-
Integrated experience: Trading, demat, mutual funds and IPOs in one place reduces app switching. (Google Play)
-
Advanced tools for traders: Position analysis, payoff graphs and Greeks help options traders understand complex positions quickly. (HDFC Securities)
-
Bank integration (for some plans): If you link HDFC Bank and allow POA, some 2-in-1 features and smoother fund transfer options are available. (HDFC Securities)
Cons — Real user issues to know
-
Costs & brokerage: Several community posts and users say HDFC can feel pricier than discount brokers (no flat-zero options). If you trade frequently, brokerage structure matters — compare rates. (reddit.com)
-
App experience complaints: Some Apple/Play Store reviews mention lags, ads, or features that feel cluttered after updates. These are typical tradeoffs for feature-rich broker apps. (App Store)
-
No cap on brokerage in some plans: Unlike some discount brokers that offer flat or zero brokerage for equity delivery, HDFC’s traditional plans may charge percentage-based brokerage — check the plan details. (HDFC Securities)
Two quick tips before you start
-
Check brokerage plan: Look at HDFC’s brokerage plans on their site so you know the charges per order type (delivery, intraday, F&O). This affects long-term cost. (HDFC Securities)
-
Try practice or small trades first: If you are used to other apps, place a small trade first to learn how orders, stop loss and product types behave in InvestRight.
Who should use InvestRight?
-
Existing HDFC customers who want integrated experiences between their bank and trading accounts.
-
Investors who value research & advisory from a full-service broker and want a combined app for all investment types.
-
Options traders who want built-in tools that show Greeks and payoff graphs (the Analyze feature is helpful). (HDFC Securities)
Who might prefer another app?
-
Very low-cost traders who want minimal brokerage (discount brokers may be cheaper). (reddit.com)
-
Users who want minimal UI clutter or ad-free experience — some users report the app feels busy after updates. (App Store)
Short walkthrough — Day-to-day flow
-
Open app → see dashboard with portfolio value and top movers. (Google Play)

Final verdict (simple)
InvestRight is a full-featured app from a full-service broker. If you want research, bank link benefits, and advanced options tools, it’s a strong, logical choice. If your main priority is lowest possible brokerage or a very minimal UI, compare discount brokers too. Read the latest user reviews and the brokerage plan before committing — costs and app behavior do change with updates. (Google Play)
Where I pulled info from (short)
