Intuit’s Mint app users were taken aback by the recent announcement that Mint will be folded into Credit Karma, another financial service owned by Intuit. Originally scheduled to disappear on January 1st, 2024, Mint will now officially be shut down on March 23rd, 2024.
Credit Karma primarily offers financial advice based on credit scores, leaving current Mint users wondering how many of Mint’s features will be integrated into Credit Karma. Intuit mentioned that some popular Mint features are available on Intuit Credit Karma, but the details are still unclear.
Mint, a popular budgeting app since 2009, has been a go-to for those looking to track expenses, create budgets, and receive financial warnings. With Mint’s impending closure, users may be searching for alternative apps to manage their finances.
Here are five apps worth considering as a replacement for Mint:
1. Quicken Simplifi: Quicken’s basic financial app, Simplifi, offers an organized dashboard for tracking expenses and creating budgets. Cost: First year at $24, billed annually, then $47.88 per year.
2. Tiller: Tiller helps users organize finances through Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. It offers a free 30-day trial, followed by $79 per year.
3. YNAB (You Need A Budget): YNAB helps users create budgets and track expenses with a color-coded system for visualizing financial health. Cost: Free 34-day trial, then $14.99 per month or $99 per year.
4. Copilot: Copilot’s dashboard provides a monthly spending overview and transaction review. This app is only available for macOS and iOS systems.
For Mint users looking to export their data, Intuit provides instructions on downloading data in CSV format using the web version of Mint. To move forward post-Mint, users have several alternatives to choose from based on their financial needs and preferences.
