Mint is shutting down Jan 1 2024: Alternatives?
« on: November 02, 2023, 10:48:28 AM »
It appears, on short notice, Mint (financial account aggregation service) is being shut down and rolled into something more profitable for Intuit.

We are reimagining Mint as part of Intuit Credit Karma, expanding our collective capabilities to deliver upon our mission of championing financial progress for all. Mint will no longer be available as of January 1, 2024. To learn how to download your Mint data, please visit Credit Karma’s U.S. Help Center. We’re excited to build on the Mint legacy at Credit Karma, and provide even greater value to Minters.

...

Let us explain: at Credit Karma, we leverage our members’ data to provide them with a view of their finances so they know where they stand and can confidently take action to improve their financial situation. This view means members can track their net worth and monitor their spending habits, transactions and cash flow. Once they know where their money stands, Credit Karma will leverage this data to empower members to take action, whether that be suggesting they use a different credit card in their wallet to maximize their rewards opportunities according to their spending habits, or proactively flagging when they’re about to be in a cash crunch, with actionable recommendations to help them smooth out their cash flow and avoid a similar situation in the future. Those are just a few examples of how we make our members’ financial data do more for them.

This is more "selling my data to credit card companies" than I particularly care for given my general dislike of credit cards.

Are there alternatives that do not view me as a potential upsell, either self hosted, local, or other online services?  I do not mind paying some monthly to aggregate data, although I can do it on a spreadsheet just as well should I care.
