Mint shut down in March 2024, and its users were moved to Credit Karma, which doesn't offer budgets. Many former Mint users have switched to Weekly since. Their reviews are further down this page.
How Weekly compares
| Weekly | Mint | |
|---|---|---|
| Budgeting | One weekly Safe-to-Spend number, built from your real income and bills | Monthly budgets by category. Not carried over to Credit Karma |
| Ads | None, on the free plan or on PRO | Ad-supported, with a paid option to remove them |
| Savings goals | Funds you set money aside in, with no extra bank account needed | Goals tied to a linked bank account |
| Bank connections | Plaid, with sync history and on-demand sync | Mint's own in-house linking |
A budget built on your actual spending
Weekly builds your budget from your real recurring transactions, and you can set rules for specific transactions so they land in the right place every time.
One number to watch
Your Safe-to-Spend is what you can spend this week with everything else already accounted for. It's on the Dashboard and on a home screen widget, so you can check it without opening the app.
No ads
Weekly doesn't show ads, including on the free plan. We charge a subscription for Weekly PRO instead.
Funds for the things you're saving for
Set money aside for goals with Funds. They live inside Weekly, so you don't need a separate bank account for each goal.
Reliable account linking
Weekly connects to your bank through Plaid, the same service Venmo uses. You can see your sync history and trigger a sync on demand.

What former Mint users say
Finally. I used to use Mint, but I hated having to categorize everything. With this app, you track what's static and recurring and the rest is your weekly budget in one lump sum. I also love that it syncs with my bank and notifies me when new transactions come through. Its a great app with amazing customer support as well!

Best budgeting app! Hands down the easiest budgeting app that actually works! I have tried mint, Dave Ramsey, and many others and this simplifies it down to what you really need: how much can I spend a WEEK (especially for tight incomes) vs A MONTH (more apt to loose track of financial expenditures/accountability). Weekly has been so much easier to use… than any other app I have tried!
★★★★★ Late Fees and Rejection
Game changer. My wife and I used Mint for over 8 years, but we always struggled to have money left at the end of the month. We've been using Weekly for several weeks now, and what's amazing is that we seem to have money left over each weekend to go out to eat, or do some fun family activities. The app is really well done and intuitive, and it's great that I can share an account with my wife, so we can work together to stay on budget.

Please read. This is a phenomenal app…. it basically forces you to enter regular income and expenses. It then calculates a weekly budget of what is left over. This is very powerful… I found this to be the BEST system to date. I have tried YNAB, quicken, mint and a few others. Download it and try it. You can finally find your adult allowance. LOL
