How the signal works
The signal score

A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off.

So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

Just opened an HSA at Fidelity and was stunned by how poor the website is compared with Schwab's, though customer service was great when they called about the HSA transfer.

Moved over from Ameriprise intending to self-manage and found the free advisor calls steered toward paid management and skipped their agenda, though the transfer help was good.

Likes Fidelity, especially its customer service, but says Robinhood has a better app and offers extras such as rollover matches, IRA match and a 3% flat credit card that make it hard to leave.

Summary of a Reddit comment

Chose Fidelity for better customer service and finds individual reps excellent, but daily position CSV downloads are never a clean import and policies feel hostile to anyone not a long-term investor.

Likes Fidelity overall but finds the mobile app poor and uses the desktop site; once wrongly locked out over day trades and the active trader line fixed it in five minutes.

The first Fidelity rep was extremely helpful with the transfer but then tried to sign them up for wealth management, and they warn that Fidelity Go fees rise after the free tier and steer people to pricier products.

Uses Fidelity only for customer service and finds the UX absolutely garbage.
