Acorns is an automated investing app offering personal investment accounts, IRAs,
checking accounts
, and investment accounts for kids. While the investment platform has a $0 account minimum, you'll need at least $5 to start investing.
As for fees, Acorns offers three plans at various price points: Acorns Lite, Acorns Personal, and Acorns Family. If you're solely interested in investing with a personal investment account, Acorns Lite might be best for you. The account has a $1 monthly fee, but it: (a) invests your money in an ETF portfolio tailored toward your risk tolerance, and (b) uses Acorn Round-Ups to invest spare change from your purchases.
