Robinhood

Robinhood is one of the most popular modern investing apps today that allows you to invest in the stock market for free. You can even invest in exchange-traded-funds (ETFs), options contracts, and cryptocurrency.

Acorns

Acorns is famous for their “Round-Ups” feature that allows investors to round up their daily purchases to the next dollar and invest the spare change. Other modern platforms have since copied the idea, but as far as I'm concerned, Acorns is the pioneer of round-ups.

Furthermore, their technology-driven platform uses algorithms to build a customized investment portfolio based on your risk tolerance, needs, and wants. Acorns is a modern “robo-advisor” that does all the heavy lifting for you. This feature comes at a small cost of just $1 per month with options to add more features and accounts for $3 per month or $5 per month.
