Bottom Line
Stash is best for people trying to get into investing at a beginner to intermediate level due to the app's goal of teaching how to invest. The app provides a list of recommended ETFs which is very helpful for people that might not know where to look. Stash also offers fractional shares meaning that you can own parts of a stock if you're not financially able to purchase a full stock. Unfortunately, Stash does require a subscription fee for balances less than $5,000, a category which most beginner users will ultimately fall into. While this may not seem like much, the fees may equate to a large percentage of your balance if you have a low balance.
