They destroyed Mint and force you to use credit karma. Guess I'll have to find a different company to give all my financial data to.

We recently moved to Simplifi by Quicken after that whole fiasco.

Pretty good so far, and we got a 1 year free trial to see if we like it.

Thx. I'll give it a shot!

Uhh... Quicken is Intuit as well. Not sure what this accomplishes. I'm in the same boat about the move to Credit Karma and I don't know how this will affect me - the fact that they have been quiet about what changes makes me think it's not for the better, but it's clear Mint is dead, so wondering what made you come to the conclusion to move onto something else.

[–] subtext@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Quicken was originally developed by Intuit but was sold and has been in private equity hands since 2016. Is it possible that you're thinking of QuickBooks (which is an Intuit product)?

Agreed that Mint seems dead and the lack of communication about Credit Karma made me assume that it's DOA, which is why I moved to Simplifi. I found them through a few different product recommendation threads / articles as consistently decently rated, and I felt comfort in the fact that I was paying for the product (rather than it being free), which lends itself somewhat to the durability of the offering. Plus Quicken is a 40-year-old brand at this point, and with Simplifi being a newer product (but not brand new), I felt some confidence that they'd have staying power.
