Based on other buyer's searches, these are the products that could be a good fit for you.
A product’s price can vary greatly based on features needed, support or training required, and customization requests. Some vendors want a chance to talk to you before being ruled out for pricing. When you find a product that fits your needs, you should talk to the vendor to figure out what they can offer.
Reviewers praise Mint for its comprehensive finance tracking capabilities, which help them manage personal finances effectively. They enjoy the user-friendly interface and visual financial overviews that make it simple to understand where their money is going. Furthermore, they find the free service invaluable for organizing their finances, providing a clear overview of their financial status and helping them stay disciplined and informed about their financial situation.
Users appreciate the quick financial snapshots and account integration features that Mint offers, allowing them to get a complete overview of their financial status. However, they frequently encounter issues with account connectivity, such as frequent disconnections and problems with security questions. Additionally, some users report limited compatibility with certain financial institutions, which can be frustrating and hinder their ability to maintain a consistent financial overview.
Pros
I love mint and all of its features. I truly love the ease of tracking all transactions and being able to set budgets and integrate all your accounts automatically.
I've been able to better manage my money and make better personal finance decisions. Staying on top of money gives me peace of mind and confidence.
I liked the fact that it helps you keep track of your spending. It is a good practice to keep things orderly and professional financially.
I love how easy it is to export financial data into excel to further analyze. I also like the built in graphics and reports mint gives to help me get a quick understanding over my financials.
Cons
I really do not like having to link it to my accounts though. It’s a small risk but still a risk.
Certain financial institutions do not work on the platform. They are adding them all the time but I am still missing some.
Our agency has not found anything we dislike other than our cards sometimes becoming unlinked and we have to relink them which is simple.
My main negative remark is that the application disconnects from the financial accounts often and I need to re-sign in a lot.

The Missing Puzzle Piece For Financial Management
Jacob S.
"A very efficient personal finance management tool to track spendings, create budgets, and more"
Overall: Mint is a popular and reputable personal finance management tool that is a great resource for us to understand better and manage our finances.

We can then set budget goals for each category and track our spending over time to see where they are over or under budget.Bill reminders: Mint reminds us when bills are due so that we can avoid late fees.Investment tracking: Mint allows us to track investments such as stocks, mutual funds, and other securities.Mobile app: Mint has a mobile app that allows us to access our financial information on the go.
Cons: Limited investment tracking: Mint does not offer as much investment tracking as other personal finance management tools, but not to the extent that it becomes a huge downside.
"The best money management tool"
Overall: I use Mint to help meet my financial goals, such as saving for a home down payment. It helps me see areas where I could do better as well as areas where I am doing fine. It's simple, integrated on your phone, and best of all it's free.
Pros: Mint is a fantastic and free tool for managing your money. It allows you to gather all of your financial accounts in one place so you can accurately track your net worth over time, as well as serve as an easy tool for budgeting and expense tracking.
Cons: Mint does have some intelligent tracking of purchase categories, but it seems like it hits a point where it doesn't try very hard. I have to do quite a bit of manual recategorizing, even for regular purchases.
"Decent for expense tracking, but that's about it"
Overall: It helps with expense tracking and it does very well in that regard.
Pros: It does a good job of automatically logging expenses and after implementing a few custom rules, it's pretty accurate with categorizing them properly.
Cons: The budgeting aspect of mint does not match the reality of how people "really" budget. There will always be months of overspending and months of underspending... and everyone's "income" is a bit variable (monetary gifts, product returns, etc). Mint doesn't account for these very well and it does nothing for planning.
"Great alternative to expensive accounting software "
Overall: I am loving this software. I was hesitant at first after using another software for years, but I was pleasantly surprised and how much I love it and how easy it is to manage my finances.
Pros: I was vert impressed with how easy this software is to set up and use. Very self explanatory. I love that they monitor your money and your spending and alert you when thigs don't seem right or when you go over budget.
Cons: The automatic assignment of some accounts is inaccurate
"Free"
Overall: If you want a cheap, basic, easy and good software try out MINT.
Pros: The best thing about mint is that it is FREE. I have used Quickbooks and Freshbooks and had many issues with them.
Cons: I haven't found any issues so for using Mint. You can do basically most thing that you would pay for on mint and its free.
