Mint Reviews

"I love Mint"

Pros: I love Mint. It's great to follow all of your expenses. It also allow you to check your credit score.

Cons: The last update has a terrible UI. I'm pretty sad because I used like the Mint iOS app. I hope that they will revert it.

"Great resource for keeping up with all your financial information"

Pros: Mint is a great tool for creating budgets, managing your spending, managing investments, and tracking and paying bills. You can even keep tabs on your credit score. You can also set reminders about upcoming bills and alerts for any unusual spending activity. The best part is the app is completely free.

Cons: I'm not sure how I feel about using an app that links all your banking information and credit cards into it. Sure, they say your data is encrypted, but time and time again we have seen all other companies get hacked at some point or another. Also many financial institutions have started implementing these same tools that Mint offers, in which case you wouldn't need to use many of the features that Mint is capable of.

"The easiest way to manage all of your finances!"

Comments: I've used Mint for years, and love it. I check it daily, and it has really helped me organized all of my finances. The daily credit score and tips are great. I have recommended to many people!

Pros: I love that Mint connects with all of your credit cards, bank accounts, and loans and gives you an easy to read list of balances, due dates, progress towards goals, and much more.

Cons: Some bank account connections need to be re-established regularly, but it is easy to do. I am guessing that is a security feature of the bank, and not the software's fault.

"The best alternative for personal finance tracking"

Comments: It is still the best free-to-use personal finance tracking. If you can handle the ad and regular manual adjustment to correct the automatic categorization, Mint would work for you.

Pros: Mint is free to use, feature-rich personal finance tracking. Mint supports all major financial institutions and automatically download user's transactions. It provided a meaningful overview of personal wealth, income statements with categorized expenses.

Cons: Since it is free to use, Mint uses ad which may distract end-user. The automatic categorization makes the same mistakes until the user applies manual adjustments. The manual adjustment process is slow and has not been updated for at least 3 years.

"Finances at your fingertips"

Comments: I've had great success creating budgets and tracking down different transactions using the Mint interface. It is really helpful.

Pros: Mint is a great way to keep your finances organized. You can import information from all of your credit card accounts, bank accounts, mortgage, IRAs, 401k, etc. This allows you to see your entire financial situation in one place.

Cons: Although they are constantly working to improve the synchronization process with different financial institutions, it can still be a little bit of a nuisance to keep your data synchronized.

"Okay but not great budget app"

Comments: A cost effective choice to track expenses but I hope the interface would be more minimal. Too many suggestions. If the pending transactions could be more up to date, that would be fantastic.

Pros: I like their self-explanatory and compartmentalized features. Personally I don't think saving accounts should be counted as Cash, which is more like Emergency Fund. But since I don't have much savings anyway, it doesn't matter much.

Cons: Never update pending transactions. It used to grey out pending ones. Users can see but are unable to edit. Too many ads

"A wonderful product for personal financial tracking"

Comments: I love using this to keep track of my personal finances. I feel much more in control of everything than before I used it.

Pros: I login for a couple of minutes every day. Since it's automatically linked to all of my accounts, I am way way more likely to catch any fraudulent charges. I feel much safer keeping an eye on everything, all in one place.

Cons: I'd be happy to pay a bit monthly towards removing ads. The phone app is difficult to use, you really need to use the online version on a computer.

"Great if you keep up with it"

Pros: Great concept, easy to use, quick understanding of your finances with easy to read snapshots. Works well no glitches.

Cons: I don't see the point because my credit card and bank already do what mint do and track my spending and trends so don't find myself logging in often.

"Helpful budgeting tool"

Comments: Overall, I am satisfied with Mint and find it helpful

Pros: This product is easy to use for the beginner. Provides helpful categories for budgeting and forecasting.

Cons: Once signed up, I received a number of marketing emails and had to continually adjust my notification settings

"Best I've used, but still requires too much curation"

Pros: Takes a wide array of financial feeds and consolidates all of my data, giving me a fairly complete picture of my spending and saving

Cons: Takes a lot of manual curation to categorize and classify transactions in order for the data to be accurate and actionable.

"Mint"

Pros: It's a great budgeting and costing app. It lets you see where all your expenditures and savings are and how well you are doing to meet your financial goals.

Cons: You're trusting a third party app with very sensitive financial information. I would like there to be a way where rather than the app drawing the information from financial institutions, I could enter in the information myself to generate the same results.

"Good expense tracker"

Pros: If you are like me and want to know where your money is going, Mint helps!

Cons: I would like to see suggestions on how to control spending.

"automated budgeting and expense tracking"

Pros: ability to connect all kinds of financial accounts to it, overview of financial situation, customizable budget and saving systems, optional alerts when going over budget, credit score updates, advice and education about financial products

Cons: they try to auto-sort expenses into categories (food, travel, etc) and sometimes they are way off, and fixing that can be tedious. I also wish the categories were more customizable.

"Mint Review"

Comments: It's the main app I use to keep track of my expenses

Pros: It's very simple and easy to use. I check it weekly or even possibly daily and have the widget on my phone so I see every transaction my wife or I have made and I like the ability to make budgets.

Cons: The software could be updated to make it easier to keep track of budgets and I've gone over budget.

"A super free, Simple and easy software for handling financial management."

Comments: I am Very glad to be a part of Mint user, i am so familiar with Mint in a very short period of time is just because of its user-friendly interface and its alerting features.

Pros: I like its powerful alert system, which notifies you not only bill reminder or late fees but also about budget in a category. liked it.

Cons: I guess Synchronization is only a weak factor for Mint. Sometimes,while syncing with bank breaks and may takes a longer time to get resolved.

"Good tool to manage your money"

Comments: Although there are advertisements, I have not yet found a better alternative. Mint did save me a lot of money, so I will continue to use this app.

Pros: If you have multiple bank accounts, managing these bank accounts may be a hassle. Mint can help you solve this problem. You can link all of your bank accounts to Mint, and then just log in to Mint to view the transaction records of all your bank accounts. At the same time, you can also set the budget for each category in Mint. If your spending exceeds your budget, Mint will also remind you.

Cons: There are a lot of ads in Mint's UI, which is annoying. This is a free software, so advertisements may be unavoidable, but it still cannot change its annoying nature. And sometimes my linked bank account will be unlinked. I haven't figured out what caused this problem.

"Didn't think about finances until Mint made it easy for me"

Pros: Not going to lie, I was pretty bad at planning my financial life before Mint. I didn't track anything and didn't really pay attention to what was going out and coming in. Mint makes it easy to see all of this and even breaks out your expenses by type so you can analyze what parts of your life you need to monitor. It has excellent integration and works with multiple banks.

Cons: More robust features such as credit card repayment plans or financial planning would be an amazing feature.

"Easiest way to understand personal finances"

Pros: I love how it pulls all accounts into one spot, and that you can choose which accounts to view or ignore in reports. It makes it really easy to get a general idea of how much your spending on specific and broad categories.

Cons: I found the set up took me a while to figure out when you have multiple accounts, I toyed with Quickbooks online, desktop, Budget, and 2 others, but kept coming back to mint as it's the easiest.

"Needed budget tool"

Pros: Our agency has utilized this budgeting app as we are a non-profit and funds can be limited. It's critical for our agency to be on top of our spending and where our money is going to. Mint makes it easy for us by laying out our monthly budget and also helping us track purchases.

Cons: Our agency has not found anything we dislike other than our cards sometimes becoming unlinked and we have to relink them which is simple.

"One of the Best Budgeting Tools"

Comments: Overall, very impressed and I will continue to use this app for a long time.

Pros: 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 am not a fan of the goal setting feature. It sets it up as a contribution that comes out of my budget, but I would like it more if it takes the net income and applies it to my goal.

"A great app that helps me focus on the big financial picture"

Pros: It is easy to see and manage all of my finances in one place. It pulls all of my financial info into one place. One of my favorite parts fo Mint is that I can see graphically how my net worth has changed over time. It was very hard to do this in the past because I would have to go to many different websites in order to get the total. It does a great job at syncing most of my online accounts. I also like that you can get your free credit score from them as well.

Cons: Nothing is perfect and Mint does have some problems. It gets caught up often with accounts that have two-factor authentication and often asks me to re-login into accounts too often. I don't use it for budgeting because it far too often miscategorized transactions.

"Effortless way to monitor finances"

Comments: I use Mint to keep track of my personal finances. It's easy to use and has a lot of great features. It's also completely free! It's a great option for people just getting into personal finance.

Pros: Mint is a simple yet very thorough app. You can add multiple bank accounts, and credit cards so that you have all your accounts in one place. I really like how Mint categorizes purchases and keeps track of your spending history for you and lays it out in an easy-to-read graph. I also like how educational the app is. Mint offers a lot of information regarding credit cards and investment options specifically for you.

Cons: Sometimes the app will close out randomly. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it continues to do it occasionally. Other than that minor glitch I haven't experienced any problems with Mint.

"Mint is the best Personal Finance Software"

Comments: Mint has been a tremendous lifesaver in helping me to aggregate all of my personal finance data into one single location. I am very happy with this program and will continue to recommend it to all of my friends. I feel that being able to use this software and being able to quickly see all of my financial accounts in one place has helped me tremendously with budgeting and with financial growth.

Pros: Mint is a novel, innovative software for tracking finances. I was an early adopter to Mint and have enjoyed seeing it blossom into a fully featured program for tracking finances, transactions, investments, debts, expenditures, credit, and much more. I like how the program provides a simple, elegant interface for tracking a wide variety of financial components all in one place.

Cons: What I like least about Mint is that sometimes it is not compatible with certain financial products or with certain banks/businesses, which requires me to manually input data in order to replace this information. I have found that sometimes the connectivity with Mint is also inconsistent.

"Great for budgeting"

Comments: This was a great tool for me when I first budgeting as a college student

Pros: This is a great tool for people who just beginning to budgeting. Mint let’s you set a budget goal for each of the categories and send you alarm when you exceed them.

Cons: Sometimes the app still can’t differentiate different transaction and made mistake, which messes up the budget cap for each categories
