Robinhood Gold High-Yield Cash makes sense for investors who already trade on Robinhood and value the other Gold benefits. With a Gold subscription at $5 a month, eligible brokerage cash earns 3.6% APY, and Robinhood says there is no cap and no minimum on the interest you can earn. Uninvested cash can be used right away to buy assets in a brokerage account or IRA, which is the main advantage over a separate savings account. Gold also adds a 3% match on IRA contributions, bigger instant deposits and lower futures and index options fees, and the first 30 days are free. As a pure place to park cash it is weaker. The $60 a year subscription cuts into the yield on small balances, bank transfers can take up to 4 to 5 days, and the instant withdrawal option costs a 1.5% fee, while Wealthfront offers free instant withdrawals.
