Do investors still need to use roboadvisors to invest now that TD Ameritrade offers $0 commission for US markets?

Assuming I want to do a 3-fund portfolio: VTI, VXUS and Singapore ABF Bond Index, is using TD Ameritrade cheaper than investing through roboadvisors that invests heavily in US securities?

If you already know the ETF you gonna pick, ofcourse DIY will be better! You will need to rebalance the ETF yourself thn.

However I do think some robo-advisor brings value. Only used StashAway and I know they:
1) will rebate trailer fee
2) they will help to claim portion of the 30% witholding tax
3) I followed their weekly commentaries and I do see the benefits of portfolio re-optimisation.
4) rebalance fee is free from StashAway, included in management fee
