To see what a micro-investing app’s flat monthly fee costs you, multiply it by 12 and divide by your balance. On a small balance, that yearly percentage can be close to or above the 10% a year large U.S. stocks have averaged since 1928. Until it falls under 1%, invest through a broker with no account fee.
