Acorns has features that SoFi doesn’t have, and SoFi has features that Acorns doesn’t offer. So it all depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a robo-advisor and aren’t married to the spare-change mode, then SoFi is a great option. It’s free, offers real human guidance, and you can also self-direct your investments.
Stash is another good Acorns alternative. The pricing is similar, and you can invest in a pre-built portfolio or self-direct. Stash also offers socially responsible investment options.
