Notes -
Not OP, but I use Vanguard.com. I barely know what I'm doing or how to adult, but I stuck a bunch of money in VTSAX (which is similar to VTI but slightly different in some way that I don't really understand), and it mostly sat there doing nothing for 4 years and then suddenly shot up a bunch making it worthwhile. I think right now I have an average gain of like 12% per year or so. I should probably stick some more money in it at some point.
My brother uses Robinhood a bunch for buying and selling individual stocks, but I don't have the mental or emotional energy/motivation to spend researching and buying and selling daily. I just stuck a bunch of money in there and then forget it exists. Vanguard is great for that. I can't speak to comparisons to other websites, since I've only ever used this one, and I can't say much about quality of use for most purposes since I do stuff on it less than once a year. But I stuck money in, and 5 years later I have almost twice as much money in there. Yay.
