It was a great company until they were… Note: I see many people rating their free services. I am rating their financial advisor services. It was a great company until they were purchased. After that, the company turned south quickly. They sold their expensive 0.89% service rate as beating index by 1% with their superior diversification strategy. Under-performed by 1% so would have been better off in a robo-account. Used to have great advisors, but then turnover accelerated. When I left, advisors weren't even responding to emails. Also, the dashboard consistently had problems that were never addressed.

Personal Capital Support Deteriorating Personal Capital, now Empowerment is no longer the responsive company I am use to working with. Their dashboard and financial planning has been accurate and very informative. When there are issues, their support got things resolved within 2-3 weeks, sometimes the next day. Now, things have changed, support lacks responsiveness and cannot give ETAs on fixes.IT is not exact science however it raises the question of the capabilities of their personnel to get things fixed. Something has to change.

I do recommend personal capital I have used PC for 2 years now. It has assisted me in sticking to my planned budget and get a realistic, live picture of where my spending and finances are at. I sometimes get a little frustrated when there is a delay in transactions posting because I cannot immediately update the categories at times. Other than this, I really enjoy personal capital and it is very user friendly. Because it is free it also makes it amazing value!

A must have if you're serious about budgeting and saving If you're serious about tracking your spending and budgeting, personal capital is a must. It really helps see where you spend your money and what you can cut back on. Linking all accounts has been easy and the technology at personal capital seems great. And since it's free, there is no excuse not to get it!!

Holds lots of info, not very neat The software is great for holding A LOT of information. You can put everything in there. However, it doesn’t let you put % ownership of real estate investment properties (if you own with a partner) and can’t link purchasing activity to Venmo. I also think the interface could be a lot cleaner. It’s takes some getting used to, I’ve had it about a month and I still can’t navigate it as efficiently as I’d like.
