I’m also interested. Is putting a pretty large amount on their 5% APY account safe?

I’ve used it for years and trust it.
It’s fine, but you can pretty much do the same with a boggle head portfolio. All Wealthfront/Betterment do is track the market
Not entirely true. The value add for me with Wealthfront is the tax loss harvesting and direct indexing both of which have saved me much more money than Wealthfront down annual fees over the years. But you don’t really reap those benefits until you have a few hundred grand saved
OP, I feel like if you’re asking those kind of questions you have a lot of research to do. Nobody can tell you one or the other but both have rules and limitations. Personally my Wealthfront accounts are neither just standard individual investment accounts.

I’ve had a (small) portfolio with them since 2016 untouched. The US stocks and US dividend growth stocks category has grown a little over 100%. Emerging markets 27%. Foreign stocks 49%. Real estate 19%. Foreign bonds -1% (lost money over 7 years), corporate bonds 10%. Total gain was only 52% over 7 years. Just putting everything in an S&P500 index fund would have been a lot better in the last 7 years. This would have been around 140%. Ymmv
The tax harvesting helps during tax season.
