| Who it's not for | All-in-one ETF holders . nothing to rebalance | Teams needing active code hosting and collaboration |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.12 | Checkered history: 2015 breach reset 2M passwords; platform repeatedly abused as a malware delivery vector. |
| Support quality | No support evidence in sources | No usable evidence |
| Public sentiment | Reddit DIY investors generally value Passiv's one-click rebalancing with Questrade, though a vocal minority reports frustration.⁸ | Opinions are split: some longtime users report safe, reliable downloads while others cite the adware history and lingering trust concerns. |
