Mint Reviews

Easy to use and gives you an idea of where your money went . It sends notification for the due date ,list of due bills, love it.

Too easy , need to add more figures and reports and has issues with the connectivity some times . It has to have to option to connect with a tax program.

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.

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.

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.

Never update pending transactions. It used to grey out pending ones. Users can see but are unable to edit.

Too many ads

It's very easy to use and refill your service.. It really has user friendly features features, very easy to figure out on your own.

I have no bad comments, I am very pleased with this service and I was very skeptical at first.

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.

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

I like that it keeps track of all my personal expenditures in one place.

It cannot connect to all my accounts and it often disconnects from others.

It's easy
It's a place where everything is together

Some of it isn't easy but customer service is fantastic

Getting notices and being able to see where all my finances are

Some of the upgraded services are a bit overpriced

Mint is a helpful piece of software if you're looking to centralize all of your financial accounts (checking, savings, credit cards, loans, retirement, investments, etc.) in one place. I find this especially useful because if you're able to input all of your accounts and assets, Mint will generate your net worth in real time as it fluctuates. It will also keep you informed of your credit score, and why it may be lower or higher according to specific factors (credit age, credit usage, on-time payment history, total accounts, credit history, and derogatory marks). No more guessing what you could be doing to improve your credit, or what it is that's dragging your score down.

If you input your checking and credit card accounts into Mint, Mint will analyze your purchases and categorize your spending (Groceries, Restaurants, Clothing, Gas & Fuel, Fast Food, Movies & DVDs, Alcohol & Bars, and Coffee Shops), and help you stay within predetermined budgets you've set for each category. However, I haven't found that Mint's analysis of my purchases is always accurate, and so I have never relied on or used this feature.

I also have found that I can't add my 401k account in Mint (they do not have Transamerica Retirement available as an investment option), so I've sort of "hacked" the software by manually inputting my retirement balance as "Property" to get an accurate read of my net worth. This is a bit frustrating, and Mint's library of linkable accounts could do for an update.

Mint is relatively easy to setup and allows you to link a broad category of accounts including: bank accounts, credit cards accounts, utilities (such as gas and electric), internet, and even investment accounts. In addition, Mint supports a broad number of companies within each category such as Wells Fargo, Chase, Xcel Energy, Xfinity and Robinhood.

Mint provides a fairly robust set of tools to manage your finances and set budgets. You can create categories for your purchases, and Mint will attempt to automatically assign your purchases to a specific category.

Perhaps one of Mint's best aspects, it is completely free.

It is not unusual for linked accounts to suddenly become unlinked, and while Mint is supposed to notify when that happens, it often does not. To relink an account you must go into the Mint app, go into the account settings, and manually relink each affected account. While the process is not difficult, when an account becomes unlinked you no longer get notifications when say a credit card bill is due.

The security and privacy of Mint has been brought into question by many sources, since linking accounts gives Mint nearly full access to those accounts. I personally have never had an issue, but it is something to consider.

The overall Mint interface can be rather clunky and difficult to navigate.

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.

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.

I like that I'm able to connect with my bank accounts, credit cards, Venmo, PayPal, etc. Being able to connect to the systems I use for exchanging money allows me to best budget within the app.

I don't know that there's really anything I like least. The good part of Mint is that they are always releasing updates and it seems that they take user feedback very seriously.

Mint is a phenomenal program to help me keep track of every penny (pretty much) that is going in and out of my various accounts daily. Additionally, I can track bills and get suggestions. I'm an avid user and for good reason.

It sometimes cannot connect to certain accounts and as a read-only platform, it's not intended for robust transacting.

Mint is useful for aggregating transactions and account information from multiple banks or card companies. I have yet to find a similar app that matches Mint's straightforward approach.

Mint always tries to nudge you to apply for a new financial service (like a new credit card or loan). I realize this is their business model, to use what they know about you to serve targeted ads, but it can become a nuisance.

I love being able to see a quick visual of where the money is going or has gone and what I have in investments, etc. It's great for ongoing tracking, etc.

I don't like that after the new month I can't go back and make any kind of correction and I HATE it when I move an expense to the right budget category and put notes in about an expense and then I go back and it has completely lost everything.

I felt that Mint helped capture and synthesize the most important data that I would need when budgeting and monitoring my financials to help me keep track, sort, organize income and purchases and help make informed financial decisions.

I felt that sometimes it was a bit difficult to link accounts into Mint, and occasionally when I log in, I would have to re-initialize the relationship with the financial institution to get the data that I needed.

I love that I can use Mint to track my personal spending. It’s great that you can link your bank accounts and see where your money is going each month.

If you’ve ever had another account with Intuit, it can be challenging to have it deleted from Mint. I had trouble removing an account I no longer use.

Being an entreprenuer can be challenging on the financial side because my business generates a cash flow on a day to day basis. So mint allows me to manage my money as well as my budget.

There were no cons in my opinion. I truly enjoy all the aspects of Mint.

I really like how Mint can be used anywhere regardless of your location. Unlike certain software where you have to access your locally on your desktop (i.e. Quicken), Mint provides you with the flexibility of editing your transactions online. It also allows me to add all finance mediums, including loans and installments.

Mint is still lacking a lot of features, including the ability to import .csv files or to filter transactions through a specific date range. Hopefully these features get added soon.

Mint is excellent for our financial planning and tracking money flow on a monthly basis. The dashboard breaks down spending in a pie chart and has been very easy to see areas of over spending and generally how our money is being spent.

You need to link accounts with Mint in order to get financial info into the app. Personally I have had a hard time with linking accounts from some vendors link my mobile company. Other than that you might need to train mint to correctly allocate money into different "buckets" For instance you might buy food at a gas station and the money is automatically listed as spent on Vehicle

Easily shows you all your accounts. Reminds and notifies you of due dates. Shows your budget in it's entirety

Most transactions are preset so it's a pain to change which transaction into a different category. Alsoc better real time account updates
