I’ve used Mint for many years. It has never worked well, its budgeting tools are inaccurate, and the UI is garbage. I guess you can say I’m not too broken up about this. I do very well with an Apple Numbers spreadsheet every month. That said, if there are other better options out there, I would consider them.
I liked mint because of the trends that it could report over months of time. I’ve started using you need a budget which has been going well. It requires more user input, but i feel like it’s similar to balancing a checkbook ( I’m assuming, I never had to do that). I’ll have to figure out how to get annual reports out of YNAB, but it shouldn’t be difficult.
I really gave YNAB a serious go. I hated it. I talked regularly with their CS and just could not make sense of it. I found it maddening. Maybe it’s my shortcoming, but what a miserable experience.
I’ve been using YNAB classic for many years even after support has been dropped. The Android app is no longer supported so its only a matter of time before I am forced to either go with their monthly subscription or find something new. I’m passively looking for my next budget system.
What bums me out is that there was another web app called Financier, which actually happened to have been developed by the same guy that made Voyager for Lemmy. He stopped developing it a while back though. It was pretty nice and I think he even open sourced it, though I can’t recall for sure.
If it’s still around, it may be an option, and I remember it did have some sync capabilities between devices.

This looks like a clone of YNAB. Looks to be open sourced though not actively developed. I wonder if this might be a way off the legacy YNAB.
I also spent a lot of time reviewing the budgeting process with their support team. It’s definitely a change of pace but it’s something I can accommodate. The best budgeting app is the one that works for you 🤷🏻♂️.
SAME. Confusing as fuck.
Tiller makes sense to me, on the other hand.
