The benefit of using Aikido is that it takes the emotion out of investing in stocks and crypto. You can set a specific amount that you'd like to invest in various stocks or crypto, and then Aikido will make those purchases for you on a schedule that you specify. For example, you can tell it to buy $10 worth of BTC, ETH, and XRP every 7 days, and as long as you have the money on the exchange you integrate with, it will make the purchase. This way you don't get manipulated by your own emotions and start to day trade. Instead, set it and forget it, and then come back months later to see how your investment has done.

The UX is fairly straightforward. They walk you through the steps and then you set up what you'd like to get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that TD Ameritrade is not yet integrated into their platform. They want me to sign up with a new exchange, but I don't want to do that at the moment. Yes, I can do the trades manually, but that sort of defeats the point. I also don't like some of the stocks that they pick when I select a plan. I wish there were a way to select stocks that were in line with my values. They do have one for Green stocks, which is great. But how about stocks that avoid mining for gold and other minerals? Or to avoid companies I feel are exploitative to their workers or the environment? We need more filters like that. I understand that most people just want to make a profit, but I have additional priorities that need to be balanced alongside the profits. On the plus side, they have several crypto exchanges that I can use.

I also dislike that during my initial attempts to invest via their platform, the purchases failed both times. Hopefully this is a small technical error that can be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
