A Sincere Hat Tip to Mint
Mint Homepage circa 2009Mint launched at the dawn of the smartphone era. For millions it was the first tool they used to aggregate and track their finances.
Like “Xerox” or “Kleenex,” the name “Mint” practically became synonymous with the entire category of money management apps.
Here at Tiller, we find it surprising and strangely sad that Mint is going away. And we’re sorry for the millions of users now scrambling for a replacement. (Credit Karma won’t support many of Mint’s features, like budgeting – more below.)
While Mint and Tiller may seem like rivals, in fact Mint was a gateway for many to take their financial lives seriously. And when they outgrew Mint, they discovered Tiller. (We sometimes joke that if Mint’s categories were more customizable, Tiller might never have been born.)
“If you want flexibility in how you manage your finances there is no better option than Tiller. Having all of my data in Google Sheets leaves me in control of tracking and organize my money, no longer locked into the pre-determined systems by services like Mint.” Dane Brooks, ★★★★★ Google ReviewPopular Mint Alternatives
Tiller – for Life Changing Financial Clarity, $79/annually
No surprise: we think Tiller is the most powerful and flexible alternative to Mint. Like Mint, Tiller automatically brings together your daily spending, balances, and budgets in one place.
“What’s Tiller? Well, it’s like Mint and Google Sheets had a baby, and the genes from Google were a lot stronger. Easy to use and super-convenient!” – Joe Saul-Sehy, Stacking BenjaminsBut unlike Mint (or any other service), only Tiller automatically tracks your financial life in Google Sheets and Excel, combining the ease of an app with the privacy, flexibility, and control of spreadsheets.
Tiller also includes easy templates for tracking expenses, net worth, debt, and any budget you can imagine.
And because Tiller is spreadsheet-based, you can easily customize everything, analyze trends, and forecast your financial future.
No time for spreadsheets? Get an optional Daily Email Summary of your latest transactions and balances delivered to your inbox each morning.
