So: We don't sell ads, but we do sell "personalized recommendations" and "exclusive deals".

  We don't sell your data to third parties. We plan to offer recommendations and save people money through our own platform.

    I think you should just remove "we don't sell ads". You are absolutely selling ads and personalizing them based on user data. It's just flat out wrong to say you don't sell ads. Not saying the practice itself is wrong, just that your copy is not factually correct.

      Our copy is factually correct. There are no ads in our app. We don't sell any ads. We don't use user data to sell ads. If you signed up for Fion, you would see this. It's not unfathomable to build a business that is aligned with its users' best interests. We have a vision and it starts with a free tool to answer questions about your finances. We have many more features and tools to come. What you've seen so far is just our first step. There's much more to come.

"powered by AI and machine learning" wahahaha. No thanks. I'll stick with YNAB. If you're not paying for it, you're the product.

  As a fellow YNAB user there would be no reason to switch anyways. YNAB provides far more control over your money/finances than a simple transaction aggregator.

    Ah hah! This is what I'm here for: Other options that I haven't heard of... Because Mint and Simple ain't cutting it.
