What should you use now that Mint has shut down?
It depends on which half of Mint you miss. If it was the automatic feed, the replacements are paid and sync-based. If it was the free, no-nonsense record of where the money went, that half is cheaper to replace than people expect.
What happened to Mint?
Intuit shut Mint down in March 2024 and pointed its users at Credit Karma, which tracks accounts and credit but is not a budgeting app in the sense Mint was.
What are the actual alternatives to Mint?
Monarch Money and Quicken Simplifi are the closest paid like-for-like replacements with bank syncing, YNAB is the strongest budgeting method rather than a tracker, Actual Budget is the free self-hosted option, and Accountable is the manual, private one.
Can you import your Mint data into a new app?
Yes if you exported it before the shutdown — Mint’s export was a CSV, and most replacements including Accountable read that file directly.
Is there a free Mint alternative?
Yes, but "free" now means one of two things: free because you host it yourself, like Actual Budget, or free because you enter transactions yourself, like Accountable.
What did Mint do that a manual app cannot?
It filled itself in — transactions appeared without you doing anything, and no manual app replaces that.
How long does it take to switch budgeting apps?
About twenty minutes if you have a CSV to import, and about one month before the new app is telling you anything useful.
