Started investing for tax saver mutual funds for Saving Tax. The support team pointed me to the right ELSS mutual funds that helped me claim 80 C benefit. This is the best investment plan app. ~ Akshay Pandya

Best investments app. Saving in a cool new way. Plus the Sqrrl Away feature is awesome. I was looking to do some tax-saving and the Axe Tax service was really helpful. I'm liking it. And thank God they've simplified the selection of mutual funds for me. ~ Archit Kapoor

Was looking for a direct mutual funds app. Was earlier using Scripbox and thought to give Sqrrl a try because the design was interesting. They offer tax saving, SIP and goal based investment options. So far, satisfied with the product. ~ Bharat Padiseth
