Well crap

that sucks. i don't use mint for budgeting, but for tracking of everything together in one place. although acorns hasn't synced for several months now, and the sync occasionally did break on other accounts.

Damn. I've got like a decade of data in there. I do also track everything through Excel, but it was a great one stop shop to quickly check all our accounts. I thought I'd noticed some updates in the last few weeks, so I'm surprised to see this.

I've even closed accounts with certain institutions simply because they wouldn't sync with Mint.

Why couldn't Intiut just merge Mint accounts into Credit Karma, since they own both websites?

Same here. Found a pretty happy place with the Mint + YNAB combo. Don't like this

I can't believe I haven't seen a message from Mint regarding this. Makes me glad we've been working on consolidating accounts over the last few months so this won't be as big a deal as it would've been previously.

We switched from Mint to CoPilot. It's not free, but we like it more than Mint.

Crazy - thats been a great product. Going to be a pain to find a different service and to port data over, if possible at all.

Wonder if they're planning an online version of Quicken? Think that would have been the path for Mint instead of killing it.

Dang. I think I've been using it since 2011. Has been mostly good since then.

Gd it. Loyal user here for over 10 years. My primary way of tracking my spending and nw.

This sucks.

well that sucks, been using it for well over a decade... that really sucks... I have a crap ton of investments and all kinds of random financial things that I have used mint to track for many years and to keep things straight at tax time to make sure I'm not forgetting a K1 or whatever... dang.

What's the best equivalent?

Empower Personal Capital

This is my current backup.

Mints UI got consistently crappier and load times were absurdly bad. Intuit killed a great product. I also find it hard to believe there isnt someone willing to buy the division, gotta be better than simply writing it off?

I'm sure they are keeping the user data and useful IP for other products and they view more value in limiting competition then there is in selling

WHAT???

I just updated Mint with my new creds last night after TD Ameritrade sold out to Charles Schwab.

Yeah around the same. Oct 2010. I was shocked to find out that my Net Worth was only $350k. Inclusive of everything, assets and liabilities. Obviously I was not on my way to a safe retirement so I got really serious about investing and now I feel very comfortable about where I am.
Thanks Mint!

+1 to Personal Capital.

Also, YNAB is the closest Mint equivalent, been using it for 8 years at least.

---

I got it in 2016 or so and it is dormant. Time to wake it up.

I'm about to start testing the credit karma site I guess.
Any reason not to?

edit: nevermind, it wont let me add other accounts

edit2: why are these all apps and not browser sites that also have an app? This is infuriating.

That really sucks

When I first signed up right out of college a bit over a decade ago my net worth was negative. Students loans , etc. Mint was incredible in kicking me in the junk that way. Immensely helpful to see every dollar coming in and out so I could change my behaviors.

I'm less than a year away from crossing the 1M line and was REALLY looking forward to crossing that line and seeing it through on Mint's charting.

I've also been using personal capital in parallel for a few years so guess I'm headed back that way. So much data on spending for our family on Mint I hate to lose it.

Am I missing something? I don't see anything on the Credit Karma app that resembles ANY of Mint's features.

Here is a thread on some options I put together: https://texags.com/forums/57/topics/3396599/replies/65523508

I use Tiller and I'm a huge proponent of it. It also seems to be the least expensive of the best options available now.

If you want all of the power of Mint (minus ads) plus the ability to customize the heck out of it, then it's the superior option. If you don't care about customization, then you could look elsewhere.

As stated in that thread, I use Tiller ($79/yr) for all of our money management needs + Personal Capital (free) specifically for investment visualization. Tiller tracks investment account balances and transactions but doesn't have good visualization for it. PC is the gold standard for that but then PC does not do budgeting or other aspects of money management well although it has a basic budgeting feature.

Here is a blog post by Tiller that covers other options you may not have heard of as well: https://www.tillerhq.com/mint/

Credit Karma doesn't remotely look like a 1:1 comparison to Mint so that seems like a dead-end solution.

at least on the browser feature I couldnt see anything remotely similar either.

I refuse to use any app that doesn't have a browser extension.


I got everything put into Empower..its okay, but it seems confused on a few things.

I tried to YNAB, but my first priority is to be able to track all of the different accounts in one place.

Does empower have a monthly budgeting feature?

That's the thing about mint I used the most

empower will work really well for you then

you can see your budget, but can't plan your budget. So my tentative plan right now is to use empower + YNAB.
Empower to see what we actually did + YNAB to make the goals on what we want to do.

Copilot doesnt have a browser nor does Honeydue, so they were eliminated from my search.

Empower's main goal seems to be to sell you financial planning and retirement plans, so note that.

Wrong emoji!

I like to see exactly where my money is going every month by category and set a max so I know if we're blowing money unnecessarily

When y'all say Empower what are you referring to? Empower owns Personal Capital so I assume when you say Empower you mean the Personal Capital interface.

Regarding budgeting in Personal Capital, you set an overall monthly number and then categorize against that monthly total so can't set budgets at the Category level. That's going to be a deal killer for many.

You can download those transactions into .csv and then do it offline, if you wanted.
