Betterment vs. Wealthfront - Any thoughts on these two robo-advisors?

I want to set side some money each month for automatic investments in one of the robo-advisors. Any thoughts how Betterment compares to Wealthfront? Is one better than the other? Planning to start with a simple brokerage account, but if I like it, I might move over my IRA and 529 accounts too.

Hopefully someone has more to offer, but my anecdote is that I tried them both with the same risk profile over a period of about a year and Wealthfront outperformed by a good margin so I closed Betterment. 9.5/10 risk profile fyi

I had betterment from 2021-2022. It performed well and was very easy to use. Actually had no complaints but it was absolutely a dreadful experience to get them to move my money when I decided to move it somewhere else. They make it extremely difficult.

I actually moved my Wealthfront accounts to Fidelity last week and it was smooth as can be. I only moved away from Wealthfront because I wanted to get some individual stocks and their platform doesn't support that. No complaints about the company or experience otherwise

Don't all tye investment companies offer something similar. I am pretty sure Vanguard has something similar.

I use Vanguard digital. I like it but it doesn’t let you invest into stocks if you want to do that. It shouldn’t if it’s a robo advisor.
It’s a percentage of vanguard mutual funds based on your investment risk tolerance.
Mine is 60% VTI and 40% VXUS
