- When I created my Robinhood account, none of those brokerages had commission free trades. Also, what about commissions and exercise fees associated with stock options? Also free? I doubt it.

- Still today, the UX of all of those other apps/websites (that I've used) is horribly dated, clunky, and slow. Robinhood is amazing to use.

- Robinhood has a Cash Management account that pays me 1.35% interest on all my non-invested cash. None of these other services come close to competing with this.

- Robinhood started a progressive movement with the mission of making stock trading more accessible to the lower/middle class. I love this company and brand. Schwab is just another faceless corporation who only offers free commissions because they had to to stay relevant.
