E*TRADEInvesting app

E*TRADE is an investing app. E*TRADE's Core Portfolios list a flat annual advisory fee of 0.30% for an account market value of $500+. We checked that on Nov 3, 2026. Below are 18 other apps, starting with the 14 other investing apps and then savings accounts and banking apps. They're ranked by how close each app's category is to E*TRADE's, not by how good it is, and every fact shows the date we checked it.

Before you compare: This compares features and fees from each company's own pages. It isn't investment advice, and investing involves risk, including loss of money.

Short answer

The closest alternatives to E*TRADE are Acorns, Ally Invest and Betterment, because Acorns, Ally Invest and Betterment are also investing apps. E*TRADE's Core Portfolios list a flat annual advisory fee of 0.30% for an account market value of $500+. We checked E*TRADE on Nov 3, 2026, and each card below puts an alternative's fees, minimums, platforms and ratings next to E*TRADE's, with the date we checked them.

Moving an ETRADE account, and what ETRADE charges

ETRADE's pricing page calls the company ETRADE from Morgan Stanley, points readers to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC on FINRA's BrokerCheck, and says its banking products come from Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association, Member FDIC. We didn't find an E*TRADE page that says this relationship changes how an account transfer works, so we don't assume it does.

On Oct 25, 2026, E*TRADE's pricing page listed a $75 fee for full outgoing account transfers. The same page lists $0 commissions for online US-listed stock, ETF and options trades, plus $0.65 per options contract.

For managed investing, ETRADE's Core Portfolios list a flat annual advisory fee of 0.30% for accounts of $500 or more. ETRADE says that fee doesn't cover the management fees and expenses of the funds inside the portfolio.

If you're weighing a move, the alternatives below show each broker's own fees and minimums, with the date we checked them.

Bars show only when every app here lists a yearly price, so these prices sit side by side without them. Prices are list prices from each app's own page, before tax and any offer. Investing fees appear as each company states them. A yearly advisory fee is a percent of your balance, not a monthly price, so it never gets a bar or a price tag.
