M1 Vs Betterment
One thing you'll find lacking on both Betterment and M1 is research.
In Betterment you can drill down into each of your investments and they give a quick summary of what the ETF is and why it was selected. For Betterment's purposes, this is enough information. You can click through to each fund's prospectus on the appropriate supporting site. What you won't find are performance metrics. Which, to be fair to Betterment, is why you're using their service - you don't want to think about your investments and you, generally speaking, don't need to constantly check your balance.
For M1, you have a bit more information. You get basic stock/ETF/Expert Pie data. For stocks, you get news and some graphs. Overall, the information is fairly basic.
For both services, if you are a news junkie, you may want to supplement your reading with some other sites.
