Intuit is closing the Mint, budgeting app, as of January 1, 2024. OMG! Ms. Black shares how you should go about identifying a replacement budgeting app and a list of potential replacements.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I want a free app, or can I afford to pay for an app?
- What is my budgeting style (zero-based, envelope system, 50/30/20, spending plan, spreadsheet)?
- Do I want to connect my financial institutions, upload, or manually enter my information?
- Do I need my financial planner/coach, spouse/partner, or child to be able to access the app?
- Would I like to access the budget through an app only, desktop only, or both?
- What platform do I use Apple iOs or Google/android?
