That seems normal. Sometimes it depends on trade volume or account size, sometimes not. For my accounts, Zecco has $4.95 commission and Fidelity has $7.95.
It's just important to keep an eye on commission cost. You really want to try and avoid paying 5% to establish a position. If you're just starting out with a small amount of dough this is important. If you're buying $1000 - $2000 of a stock at each purchase, then don't worry about it....
