Considering Stashaway invests in US indexes with 30% dividend withholding tax and Endowus invests in Irish-domiciled indexes, should I just go for Endowus?

Considering Stashaway invests in US indexes which have 30% dividend withholding tax, whereas Endowus invests in Irish-domiciled indexes, isn't the choice clear to go with Endowus instead? This is also consideration of the US estate tax laws. Am I missing something here?

Are there any other robo-advisors which invest in Irish-domiciled indexes and can perhaps weigh in?

Endowus offers lower fees, custodian account, and flexibility to invest CPF money too! I'll go with Endowus.
