Robinhood gold vs fidelity

I’ve been trading for some time but I’m definitely no expert (if the title didn’t give that away). I’ve been using Robinhood for about 10 years, typically as a buy and hold but early in 2025 I got into options. For about 2 months now I’ve been doing the options wheel strategy, which requires cash sitting in my
account. I currently have around $8k cash that I’m wheeling with, so nothing crazy but it would be nice if I could pick up some interest while doing this, just for the little bit extra. Robinhood gold is $5 a month and I’d get 3.75% apy. Fidelity would give me about the same without a fee (I already have my retirement accounts with fidelity) but I saw somewhere that fidelity has higher limits on their options contracts. Does anyone have experience with a smaller brokerage account and use fidelity, specifically do you also do options? What would some advantages be of switching to fidelity?
