This isn't a direct answer to the stated question, but personally I use Mint just to keep watch on my transactions and You Need A Budget (www.youneedabudget.com) to budget and plan future transactions.
YNAB doesn't connect to any of your accounts. You have to enter in transactions manually. That limits its audience and makes it not really a direct competitor to Mint. But I find manually entering your past transactions really, really forces you to think about how you're spending money.
- nathos 13y agoI started using YNAB in May of this year, and I can say without exaggeration that is has changed my life. Great method, instruction, and support. I have personally convinced several other people to start using it, and happily evangelize the product whenever the topic of personal finance or budgeting comes up. Also, with all the focus on web apps, it is interesting to see (and use) software that is sold as a proper download.
