How to Cancel Acorns Subscription

Paying $3 a month to invest in portfolios built and managed by investment firm heavyweights BlackRock and Vanguard sounds great.

But if you can’t invest enough to have dividends in the double digits at the very least, then you’re essentially settling for the crumbs left behind by Acorns.

If your current financial situation doesn’t allow you to invest more money within the year, your best move might be to cancel your Acorns subscription.

Is Acorns Worth its Monthly Fee?

Acorns is an ideal app for people looking to get their feet wet in the exciting, high-stakes world of the equities market while saving money simultaneously.

However, if you have limited funds to invest, the monthly charges will add up and make the investment expensive to manage. You might want to consider investment apps that charge a percentage of your investment as management fees.

For example, if you signed up for the $3 per month Acorns Personal subscription, the annual cost of maintaining a $100 investment will be $36.

A $100 investment at Betterment, which charges 0.25% as its annual management fee, will only cost you $0.25.

If you don’t feel confident about your financial prospects this year, you can still cancel your Acorns subscription and look for other ways to grow your wealth.
