Has used Betterment since about 2015 and finds automatic tax-loss harvesting roughly covers the low fees on an entirely fire-and-forget account, though the fee grows with the balance.

Finds Betterment's fees reasonably low given tax-loss harvesting, which they say has saved them significant money, on a very hands-off platform.
Of the 26 reviews with a clear verdict, 46% are positive, 15% mixed and 38% negative. The praise mentioned most is easy to use. The most common complaint is account frozen.

The complaints reviewers mention most: account frozen (1 review) and hidden fees (1 review). For example: Left Betterment after it locked their account for international travel on the day they were heading to the airport.
It's how well reviewed Betterment Investing is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
