It's a real shame that there isn't legitimate competition in this space. And before you mention it, personal capital is not a replacement as it solves a different problem.
One place to aggregate all financial accounts and give a clear picture, including bills, investments, categories, trends, credit score checks, and budgeting. Everything is easily synced. I don't need a desktop app, just a web app and an iOS app. There are manual solutions but I'm looking to have all this automated.
Basically Mint has nailed it if it wasn't completely abandoned and didn't as many account connectivity struggles. (it handles most of them well). They also have turbo tax, why isn't this integrated? You have your accounts connected already. Automatically pull the required forms from that financial provider into turbo tax. This doesn't seem impossible.
I don't mind the "offers" ad page, but when they started integrating ads in between transactions that was rather offensive. It's been a steep decline. I'm really hoping someone comes up with a strong alternative (VCs get on this). I'd be willing to pay annually too.
- tfandango 7y agoDid Mint stay with Intuit when they spun Quicken out? I was assuming it went with Quicken and it seems like they are focusing on Quicken Online and Standalone. I'm not super thrilled with either at the moment.
- 0xffff2 7y agoFunny. I feel exactly the opposite. I use Quicken because I don't need a web app or an iOS app, just a desktop app. And I'm happy that Quicken seems to be mostly abandoned. It does what I need and I don't want a bunch of flashy new features added every month when I'm not going to use them anyway.
- stergios 7y agoI think the original Quicken is in good hands. Eric Dunn, the CEO of the new company maintaining and enhancing the original version of Quicken, has a long and successful history with Quicken. His involvement with Quicken goes back to 1985, just one year after Scott Cook and Tom Proulx founded Intuit. Having some of the original leaders guiding Quicken again is a hopeful sign that it will remain relevant on the desktop.
