Replacing Mint with Something Better
Mint is gone, but that might be a blessing in disguise. Get a budgeting tool that's actually focused on helping you, not selling you things.
What We Won't Miss About Mint
Constant Ads & Promotions
Every screen had credit card offers, loan ads, and investment products. Hard to focus on budgeting when being sold to constantly.
Overwhelming Interface
Too many features, tabs, and options. What should have been simple felt like operating a spaceship.
Confusing Categories
Why did "gas station coffee" end up in "Automotive"? The auto-categorization seemed designed by someone who never bought anything.
Broken Connections
Banks would disconnect randomly, leaving gaps in your data. Nothing like missing a month of transactions to ruin your budget.

- Spending categorization

No Ads, No Upsells, No Noise
We're focused on one thing: helping you understand and control your spending. No credit card offers, no investment products, no distractions.
Actually Smart Categorization

Your data isn't our product. We don't sell your information or use it to target ads. Your financial data stays private.
Making the Switch is Easy
Connect Your Accounts
Link the same bank accounts you had in Mint. Takes about 2 minutes, and we'll start importing your transactions immediately.
Let AI Learn Your Patterns
Within a few days, our AI will understand your spending habits better than Mint ever did. No manual setup required.

Common Questions from Mint Refugees
Will I lose my financial history?
We'll import your current account balances and start tracking from there. While we can't import your Mint history, you'll build a new (and better) financial picture starting now.
What about my budget categories?
Start fresh with smarter categories. Our AI will learn your spending patterns and create categories that actually make sense for your lifestyle.
Is this really better than the free alternatives?
Free apps make money by selling your data or showing ads. We charge a small fee so we can focus on building great software, not selling you credit cards.
