| NerdWallet / Investopedia | Walls of text aimed at 30-year-olds with no interactivity or engagement | ✓ Interactive modules with quizzes, assessments, XP, and decision simulations |
| Banking apps | Track spending but don't teach why or how to improve | ✓ Teaches the concepts first, then lets students apply them in simulated scenarios |

No. Stacked is education. We are not financial advisers, brokers, tax preparers or lenders, and nothing in the app is personalised advice or a recommendation about your actual money. Lessons use simplified examples, and the tools work only on numbers you type in yourself — they connect to no bank. For a real decision, talk to a qualified professional.
Stacked is education, not financial advice. We are not financial advisers, brokers, tax preparers, accountants or lenders, and using Stacked creates no adviser–client relationship. Nothing in it is personalised financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any financial product.
Lessons use simplified examples; rates, tax bands, limits and prices change and may be out of date. The budget and loan tools work only on numbers you type in yourself and connect to no bank — their output is an illustration, not a prediction. Stacked is provided “as is”, and to the fullest extent the law allows we accept no liability for decisions you make after using it. Before a real financial decision, talk to a qualified professional.
