Likelihood to Recommend
robinhood has been great for me as a first time investor using "play money" outside of my main 401K and retirement. It has options for purchasing partial shares, which means you don't have to purchase a full, even share in order to invest. I love to option to buy and sell crypto so easily. Crypto prices move quickly. I can set alerts when I want to get in and for when I want to get out. The availability of index funds also balance it well. I like reading the articles and morningstar ratings that provide direction on market sentiment, fair value and quick earnings results.

Vanguard is a tried and true investment platform. They hold a large portion of people's wealth in the United States, so they have experience and the reputation to go along with it. Their customer service via phone is top-of-the-line, which is helpful for any retirement or investing-related questions. However, their website and app sometimes lack functionality, and it can be difficult to navigate. For users looking for an easy-to-use platform for investing, Vanguard might not be it.

I thought I would need Vanguard Predictive Planning, but the robot-investor style tool like that didn't fit my current needs. I have availability to learn and explore so I took the plunge to handle it myself without predictive planning in place. I do review quarterly, but I didn't need a separate tool for that.
