It’s time for the ultimate robo-investor showdown. I decided to download all three apps last year and find out which one I liked the best. Acorns and Betterment are true robo-investors where you set your risk tolerance and send them money as/when you can Acorns.com Acorns is a very simple but effective app for roboinvesting.
