In reply to joanofark06. Those fees are expensive. It's why we only rate Acorns 2 stars. See our Acorns review.

I had signed up with Acorn, a few years ago. Things were going good, for, I guess, a year….
And then, without letting me know, one way or another, they started taking 3 dollars a month, instead of 1 dollar, that I was paying.
Now, maybe I’m the one in the wrong, and maybe I should have read the terms of service, the privacy policy, and whatever else….but…
The point was, that they didn’t inform me, at all. I was quite shocked. I could of called and asked why….but instead…I was just mad enough….to take my ball and gone home….lol.
I mean I sold all my stocks, and closed that account.
I do want to warn others, what happened to me, but they can make their own decision.

In reply to Pat. What does "I want to have control of the transaction" mean?

What do you recommended for an amateur with limited amount of money looking for an opportunity to buy a few stocks on the free trade market? I want to have control of the transaction.

I feel that this article should include that you can’t place limit orders or stop orders on M1 Finance. This is a huge downside to a trading platform. Partial shares is nice, but unless all you are doing is buying to hold long term, you really need to be able to place stop and limit orders. I think all of these other platforms offer this, so I would consider them all better options, especially Vanguard since they have a couple thousand ETF’s on offer commission free.
