I think Simple was supposed to be that. I wonder how they'll respond to this, given that they only recently moved to 2% ($2k minimum).

Judging by their recent activity, Simple won't respond well at all. They've been in a downward spiral for the past few years post-acquisition by BBVA. All the original founders have left amidst a revolving door of executives, and the company has struggled to launch new products and innovate beyond their initial budget features.
