Special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, are one of the hottest trends in the investing world. It’s a craze that’s taken Wall Street by storm. SPACs may be looked as a back door for initial public offering to retail investors. As for traditional IPOs, pension funds and professionals usually get there first, leaving individual investors typically picking up the post-offering breadcrumbs and often paying a higher price. As with any investment decision, there are pros and cons to investing in a SPAC. Rather than researching a company’s financials, as you should when investing in an individual stock, you’ll need to instead to research who is behind the SPAC and what industry they may be targeting for an acquisition. We created the Spac Tracker tool to help you do your due diligence as always, teach you what you need to know about spacs.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spac Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zacks Mobile App has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Zacks Mobile App's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spac Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
