This is one of my biggest qualms with building SaaS apps on the App Store. You can't do a free trial without requiring an Apple Pay confirmation which will auto-convert. We get lots of negative reviews because of it, but there's no way around it without offering some free version.

This was my experience too. It was like ice skating.

I've tried both Nvidia GeForce Now and Stadia, and Stadia has been a much better experience. GeForce Now takes a few minutes to launch, and it's really wonky to tweak your mouse settings to make your mouse speed match what you're used to on your own computer. I also experienced terrible input lag on GeForce Now even on 600mbps wired internet and after turning on all of their recommended settings.

Stadia has felt pretty magical, I just open chrome and go, I don't notice any input lag, and I also have the option to grab my controller and play on a TV. It has a few hiccups every now and then, but nothing bad at all. It feels like the future.

True, those are all good things to do, but that's all about growing your money for retirement. It completely misses the side of protecting that money you work so hard to grow. Financial health is about more than building up savings, it's about building up resilience. You can gamble on not being one of the millions of people that become disabled / die and can no longer work each year to support their family, or you can play a little defense and wise up on what the adequate insurance levels are, create a will / trust, etc. These are the things people don't currently understand. They understand if they save more money they will have more money.

I disagree, what you described is really just scratching the surface. Personal finance can become massively complicated, especially when you hit inflection points in your life like having a child, trying to buy a home, or nearing retirement. It is "boring and unsophisticated" math at the end of the day, but there are so many variables that it quickly becomes difficult to comprehend for most people.

People "don't know what they don't know" when it comes to financial health, especially surrounding things like proper insurance coverage and tax optimization. Software that can keep an eye on your finances and alert you to anything that seems off, or better yet, perform the necessary actions to keep you in good financial health, would be a huge help to these people.

I wonder if Plaid or Yodlee will be able to pull balances and transactions from it

Where is Titan on the spectrum of mostly hands-off investing, like Wealthfront, and Robinhood?

What would you say is your core differentiator?
