Replacing Mint budgeting. Need recs
Posted on 3/16/24 at 1:04 pm

Mint switched over to Credit Karma and left out the best feature from Mint. The budget.
Looking for something to switch to that won’t cost an arm and a leg for household budget.

I’d like to know what I need if I want to pull data in from checking, CC, investments?

I use YNAB. Every now and then it loses connection with my accounts and I have to reconnect but overall it's great.

Lots of threads on this in past 4 months. Recommend searching for those. Monarch has been good.

My review on Monarch
Using it for another couple weeks since then and really cant recommend it enough. You can even change the connection to accounts you have if you're having issues with it which is pretty cool, usually have 3-4 different ways of connecting accounts.
If you are coming from Mint they are offering 50% off first year if you import your history from Mint which is pretty cool, just you can keep your history for one but doesnt hurt to also get $50 off as well.
I've found it way better than everydollar and empower/personal capital that ive used a lot previous to this. Everydollar was used for budgeting and personal capital/empower taking over from them was used as an overall net worth tracker more because their budgeting just kinda sucks.
The best part almost is the feature request section which you can write up on how new features are working and also help voice an opinion on future changes or implementations youd like to see.
The goal tracking is also awesome, can set agoal, and connect the accounts relevant to tracking the goal. Can even partially use an account to track against it which is pretty cool.

Second Monarch. I doubt I’ll switch from it unless the price goes up

I switched to Quicken Simplifi and honestly like it better than I ever liked Mint.

I’ve enjoyed simplifi

I recently discovered financier.io
It’s free. Doesn’t connect to accounts but functions similar to YNAB.

I swapped to Piere. It’s a bit newer and isn’t as feature rich yet as Mint but if you sign up now it’s free.

I’ve never heard of Piere until now but the descriptions look solid!

nothing free is comparable. I use Empower and it is OK but the aggregator is not as reliable as Mint was.

I’m going with copilot - mostly bc I forgot to cancel when my month ran out and already paid a year.
So far, it’s solid- but it’s only an app, can’t use desktop which is annoying for us olds that do most of our budgeting on excel and use that’s tools to aggregate our financial life into one view

So looks like Simplifi and Monarch are the two that have been recommended multiple times.
Enjoyed mint, hate karma.
Quick question, do both of the above let you have multiple properties w/ values and mortgages? Enjoyed that with Mint, Karma doesn't let you do more than one property.

Using RocketMoney for now. Not paying for it, so it doesnt have all the features, but the auto linking and categories work well for spending habits. It doesnt allow net worth without paying but I just use excel for that since it doesn't change that much.

Cant speak to simplifi but Monarch will let you add multiple real estate properties no problem and mortgages against them. Can even detail them out as primary home, Secondary home, rental property, etc...

So for now if I just want a simple app that will sort my spend and connect to two credit cards, which would be the best?

Maybe look at Piere.

Anyone have insight on Simplifi? Looks to be 1/3 the normal cost of Monarch.
$36yr compared to $99yr. Both have first year discounts though.
