The Mint Replacement Budgets, Bank Sync and Net Worth in One App
Mint shut down in March 2024 and sent users to Credit Karma, which does not let you set monthly category budgets. Waypoint Budget is the Mint alternative that picks up where Mint left off: a free plan for manual entry and CSV import, Bank sync for US and Canadian banks on paid plans, and net worth tracking on Pro.
No credit card required • 2-minute setup • Free forever plan
What Happened to Mint, and Why You Need a Mint Alternative
A quick timeline for the uninitiated
March 2024: Mint shuts down
Intuit officially killed Mint after 15+ years, directing millions of users to Credit Karma, an app focused on credit scores and financial product ads, not budgeting.
Users lost core budgeting tools
Budget categories with spending limits, goal tracking, and detailed spending trends. Gone. Credit Karma shows transactions but doesn't let you set a budget or track savings goals.
Waypoint Budget picks up where Mint left off
Everything you loved about Mint (free budgeting, bank sync, spending trends) plus modern features like smart coaching and receipt scanning, without the ads.

Waypoint Budget is built for people who want to budget
Free Forever Plan
Manual entry and CSV import with unlimited transactions, all budget categories and smart categorization. No credit card needed, ever. Bank connections come with Plus and Pro.
Bank Sync
Connect every major US bank (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, and more), plus credit unions and Canadian banks, via Plaid and Flinks. Transactions arrive without typing them in, on Plus and Pro.
Smart Money Coach
Get personalized spending insights and savings tips based on your actual financial data. Mint never had this.
Receipt & Statement Scanning
Snap a photo of receipts or upload bank statements. Transactions are extracted and categorized automatically.
Spending Trends & Reports
See where your money goes with clear charts and category breakdowns. Track spending patterns over time.
No Ads, No Data Selling
Mint made money from ads and financial product recommendations. Waypoint Budget is funded by subscriptions, your data stays private.
Why Credit Karma Isn't Enough
Credit Karma is great for credit scores, but it's not a budgeting app
No real budget categories. Credit Karma shows your transactions but doesn't let you set spending limits or track against a budget.
No goal tracking. Want to save for a vacation or pay off debt? Credit Karma doesn't help you plan or track progress.
Ad-driven recommendations. Credit Karma's business model is selling you financial products, credit cards, loans, insurance. Your data fuels those recommendations.
Limited spending insights. Credit Karma shows basic category breakdowns, but the detailed trend charts, month-over-month comparisons, and visual reports that Mint users relied on aren't there.
Waypoint Budget was built to be the budgeting app that Mint should have become, with modern features like smart coaching, receipt scanning, and real privacy.
Simple, Honest Pricing
Start free with manual entry and CSV import. Bank connections come with Plus and Pro.
Need more? See all plans including Pro with 5 bank connections, 401(k)/IRA tracking, net worth tracking, and household budgeting.
Questions from Former Mint Users
Can I get my Mint data into Waypoint Budget?
If you exported your Mint data before the shutdown, you can import those CSV files into Waypoint Budget. Waypoint Budget supports CSV import from any source and will automatically categorize your transactions.
Is Waypoint Budget really free like Mint was?
Yes, with one difference. Mint was free but made money from ads and selling financial product recommendations. Waypoint Budget's free plan has no ads, no data selling, and no financial product pushing. It covers manual entry and CSV import with unlimited transactions, all budget categories, smart categorization, and Smart Money Coach access. Bank connections come with the paid Plus and Pro plans.
What if I don't want to connect my bank?
No problem. The free tier is designed for manual entry. You can add transactions by hand, scan receipts with your camera, upload bank statement PDFs, or import CSV files, all without connecting a bank account.
Does Waypoint Budget track credit scores like Mint did?
No. Waypoint Budget is focused on budgeting and spending management. For credit score tracking, Credit Karma does that well. Many people use both: Credit Karma for credit monitoring and Waypoint Budget for the budgeting.
Can Waypoint Budget track my retirement accounts?
Yes. On the Pro plan, Waypoint Budget supports 401(k) and IRA tracking alongside net worth monitoring. You can see all your retirement accounts in one place and track your progress toward retirement goals.
Which banks are supported?
Every major US bank through Plaid and Flinks, including Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, Capital One, PNC and US Bank, plus thousands of credit unions across the United States.

Great app. Simple to use and very intuitive.
Brett Wareham
The WayPointBudget program, through both the web interface and the mobile interface, is much better than using plain Excel to manage a budget and is now our preferred method of budget tracking.
Adam Cabral
Very helpful budget tracker! Highly recommend.
Viona Smith
Fantastic app to use. Developers are super helpful, provide and take great honest feedback. Really trying to make this app even more amazing then it already is. So happy I found it.
T. D.
The program is great, but what sets it apart are two things: 1) When you need any questions answered, they answer by email within the same day. and 2) They are always upgrading their system with new features!
Ryan Plester
Great budgeting tool for less money than others. The dashboard is particularly insightful
Ayla Bee
A great replacement for MINT and more intuitive than MINT was!
Fargo6
what makes this a 5 star app is the few issues that arose or that I was confused about such as importing transactions and linking banks. I contacted the developer and they messaged back quickly that they implemented fix's for my issues and to retry it. this to me is a very active development team that cares about the product they are selling. 5 star for trust.
Jodi Harbarenko
What an incredible find Waypoint Budget is! I used MINT for well over a decade before it ended, and then switched to YNAB for a couple of years as there seemed to be nothing else available to Canadians. While I liked some aspects of YNAB, it was very expensive and was pretty frustrating to work with in some of its features. I stumbled on Waypoint after asking the internet if any new alternatives were around, and it suggested this great program. Not only is it Canadian, but the price is far better than YNAB, the features are more straightforward to work with (more like MINT used to be), and its founder and designer is incredibly supportive with any questions I have. He has responded right away to any questions or problems I am facing and always makes sure I have everything working as it should be. He is even open to new suggestions of features that I enjoyed in YNAB that are missing in Waypoint and is always improving his program with new changes! It's so amazing to see it evolving. I ended my YNAB subscription and am very happy with my experience thus far with Waypoint. I have the PRO version and have my banks connected to download transactions, and I love that categorizing is straightforward and the dashboard gives me a clear picture of what I've spent in each category and what remains. I know Jamal, the founder, is working with bank connections to make them easier to refresh, but the workaround he gave me is perfect and works like a charm. I give this budgeting program five stars and would say it is worth its value as a life-long budget geek--but also because it is a young Canadian software developer who brought it into being! Incredible program and very worth the trial... and subsequent subscription!
Kerem
Great budgeting app with very active development team! I've been using it for over 5 months and very happy with the user experience. The paid feature to use Plaid to sync bank transactions is worth considering on its own. Filters credit card payment and receive transactions well enough by itself and provides a lot of customization.
Shannon Talarico
So far so great!!! Coming from a different budgeting app to this one I am really happy with the layout and simplicity/intuitiveness of the various tabs and views. I like so many of the features and I'm happy to be supporting a Canadian company. I wish I didn't have to reconnect the banks so often but I understand that is a bank issue and not something within Waypoint's control. They make it easy to reconnect so that's good.
Jared Friesen
Great with Canadian bank. The user interface is great. Budget tool is perfect.
Tony S Pietromonaco
Great product and excellent customer service
Valerie
I'm a senior with a bit of bookkeeping experience from long ago. That's relevant because I am thrilled to bits that I have found Waypoint to be so easy to use. Of course, there is a learning curve, but between Waypoint themselves and ChatGPT, I've been able to navigate the whole thing. I highly recommend Waypoint -- it's designed for Canadians, which is huge for me, and designed with privacy integrity as well.
Seif Allaoua
Impressive, it really surpassed my expectations, and I am usually a difficult customer when it comes to technology solutions. As a computer engineer myself, and a two weeks customer, I can already tell that the team at WayPoint did a fantastic work on this, despite Canadian banks having legacy and conservative methods of interacting with third parties. Two weeks in, I have already started seeing improvement in the way I manage my finances and I am able to forecast what's coming in savings, spending and reaching long term financial goals. A true five star solution. Thank you

I have been on many budgeting apps, and so far this has been the most easiest and productive app for budgeting. Love it!
Max
I've been using Waypoint Budget mainly to manage a single account, and it handles everything far better than other competitors on the market. The built-in AI is honestly the best part. It makes tracking expenses and managing my account completely effortless. It saves so much manual work. Highly recommend if you want a clean app with AI that actually works!
Justin Miller
I've been looking for an effective tool since Mint shutdown. Although there's some app glitches still being sorted out, Waypoint is 100% the best option I've had available to me!
Noor Soultan
I looked and downloaded a lot of budgeting apps but this one is my fav. Its so easy to upload transaction my problem was connecting my bank to the app but now i just upload screen shots directly
Robert & Linda Johnstone
Waypoint is very user friendly with a clean and simple user interface. It's super helpful and gives great insight into household finances.
Barbara Whittaker
Wonderful experience excellent customer support and product!!
Mike
This app makes budgeting and tracking your money simple. It is intuitive and well developed. But what really makes this app head and shoulders above other apps is the developers desire to make it better. Not only did they reply back to questions I had about certain functions (I find it rare that app developers even respond to emails or messages), they made changes to the app to address these issues. Amazing!!
Byra Dineshkumar
As someone who is still a beginner when it comes to personal finance and budgeting, I've found Waypoint to be incredibly helpful in terms of making the process of tracking expenses and learning how to budget less daunting. I haven't upgraded to being able to sync banking transactions just yet, but even the process of manually entering my expenses, and having a clear visual of where I'm at and my goals has been empowering. I especially love the dashboard, the user interface is easy to navigate. Excited to continue to explore the different features Waypoint has to offer, and to see the platform grow as whole :)
Félix
I've been searching for the perfect budget app for years, and this one is even Canadian? Jackpot!
Mathieu Thériault
Great canadian financial planning application. Focuses on what's important, lots of potential and delivers on most of it, the rest will come as they are updating the application steadily on what matters most. Support is superb, quick, detailed, with troubleshooting steps and possible solutions as soon as the first message.
Johnny D.
It's a really great tool to get you started on your budgeting journey. Easy to understand and navigate, easy to customize. On top of that they have rapid customer service - when I had questions they would respond within 24h-48h. Impressive stuff! Keep doing what you're doing.
Chad
This is the best Canadian budgeting platform I've used so far. I've tried many other budgeting platforms, but always ended up going back to my spreadsheets-until now. the layout is clean and intuitive, and its incredibly simple and efficient to use. waypoint budget finally gives me everything i liked about with my spreadsheets, without the hassle.
Jacques Persoons
Finally find an app that suits all our needs. Quite Simple to use and very intuitive. I tried few other apps that were WAY TO COMPLICATED! It is also well adapted for Canadians. Customer service is also top of the line…

I’m really liking waypoint. I have been using EveryDollar for the last 6 yrs and switched over last month. I like the analytics and set up has been fairly easy. Bit of a learning curve with rollover accounts but that’s user error I’m fairly sure. Really like all the options.
Khalil Redd
So far love the app!! It’s very efficient and does an excellent job of defining and labeling transactions. Anything it struggles with it flags and allows you to label it yourself and it remembers that for future similar transactions. Also it updates well
Maxime

I have been looking for a way to budget as I look move towards retirement. I had tried YNAB, MINT, and a few others, but found them too complicated. Many of the apps have very dark interfaces which is off putting to me. When I came upon Waypoint Budget, the first thing I liked was the clean look of the website. It is easy to navigate between the different tools - budget, categories, transactions, etc. I was able to connect my bank easily. I now actually enjoy keeping track of my finances. The tool is great, but the service is even better. I had a couple of questions and when I wrote to the website creator, he connected with me within hours, sometimes minutes. He is awesome to work with and has even taken a suggestion I made to make the website even better. He is constantly striving to meet the needs of his clients. I gladly signed up for a year. Check out Waypoint Budget. You will not be disappointed.
Helene
The book mark version has proven to be so helpful in managing my money in a simple format that is easy to review and edit - along with subscribing to access one financial institution ($8/month CAD) to track my accounts - while the goals dashboard keeps me on track to paying down debt. Now they have finally created an app... (as of July 2026)... time will tell how that compares.
Kristin Gyuran
New to this app and love it. I really appreciate how you can interact with the creators to ask questions and recommend improvements. I find it easy to use and it syncs with my bank easily. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to be more mindful with their money.
Stevie Baker
Waypoint is amazing. It's intuitive and easy to use. It allows you to set goals, track budget lines, group things together into categories and shows pie charts of the percentages of your budget. You can set goals and feel completely in control and informed. It's an excellent budgeting app the the customer service is second to none.
JD
Very easy to use. Developers are open to suggestions too. One of the best Canadian budgeting apps out there.
Sabine
If you’re looking for a Canadian-made budgeting solution, look no further. Waypoint is easy to use, even for a budgeting novice — the layout and functionality just make sense, and there’s an app as well. Best of all, if you ever have questions, you get a real human to help you out quickly. Thank you!
J.P. Métivier
Outstanding product built by an attentive and responsive team. By far the best budgeting tool I've tried. I wish they had a referral program because I'm already referring it to my close circle.
Ahmed H.
Just what I was looking for. Pulls transactions directly from my canadian bank accounts (works great for scotiabank and cibc), simple and clean design, ability to budget, track and compile reports on spending per category/month/year etc. Best such product out there for Canadians.
James W
One of the best budgeting apps I've used. Not unnecessarily invasive, functional, adaptable. Developing and updating faster than the issues can annoy you. Canadian made is also a huge bonus. Keep up the stellar work team!

I like so many of the features and I'm happy to be supporting a Canadian company. I wish I didn't have to reconnect the banks so often but I understand that is a bank issue and not something within Waypoint's control. They make it easy to reconnect so that's good.

If you’re looking for a Canadian-made budgeting solution, look no further. Waypoint is easy to use, even for a budgeting novice — the layout and functionality just make sense, and there’s an app as well. Best of all, if you ever have questions, you get a real human to help you out quickly. Thank you!
Johnny D.
It's a really great tool to get you started on your budgeting journey. Easy to understand and navigate, easy to customize. On top of that they have rapid customer service - when I had questions they would respond within 24h-48h. Impressive stuff! Keep doing what you're doing.
Tony S Pietromonaco
Great product and excellent customer service
Ahmed H.
Just what I was looking for. Pulls transactions directly from my canadian bank accounts (works great for scotiabank and cibc), simple and clean design, ability to budget, track and compile reports on spending per category/month/year etc. Best such product out there for Canadians.
Jacques Persoons
Finally find an app that suits all our needs. Quite Simple to use and very intuitive. I tried few other apps that were WAY TO COMPLICATED! It is also well adapted for Canadians. Customer service is also top of the line…
Seif Allaoua
Impressive, it really surpassed my expectations, and I am usually a difficult customer when it comes to technology solutions. As a computer engineer myself, and a two weeks customer, I can already tell that the team at WayPoint did a fantastic work on this, despite Canadian banks having legacy and conservative methods of interacting with third parties. Two weeks in, I have already started seeing improvement in the way I manage my finances and I am able to forecast what's coming in savings, spending and reaching long term financial goals. A true five star solution. Thank you
Leon Gongola
the subscriptions tracking love how it automates and fills in by itself without having me to manually input each transaction every time good transaction tracking, I love the budgeting feature helps to see what payments are coming up and how much is you fixed total cost per month.
Ed
Great app. Simple to use and very intuitive.
David
Modern easy to use
Vaibhav Turakhia
I have been on many budgeting apps, and so far this has been the most easiest and productive app for budgeting. Love it!
Adam Cabral
Very helpful budget tracker! Highly recommend.
Khalil Redd
So far love the app!! It’s very efficient and does an excellent job of defining and labeling transactions. Anything it struggles with it flags and allows you to label it yourself and it remembers that for future similar transactions. Also it updates well
Justin Miller
I've been looking for an effective tool since Mint shutdown. Although there's some app glitches still being sorted out, Waypoint is 100% the best option I've had available to me!
T. D.
The program is great, but what sets it apart are two things: 1) When you need any questions answered, they answer by email within the same day. and 2) They are always upgrading their system with new features!
Alex Anna
In-depth analysis of my finance. Visual and easy to use. The best app.
Robert & Linda Johnstone
Waypoint is very user friendly with a clean and simple user interface. It's super helpful and gives great insight into household finances.
Ayla Bee
A great replacement for MINT and more intuitive than MINT was!
Helene
The book mark version has proven to be so helpful in managing my money in a simple format that is easy to review and edit - along with subscribing to access one financial institution ($8/month CAD) to track my accounts - while the goals dashboard keeps me on track to paying down debt. Now they have finally created an app... (as of July 2026)... time will tell how that compares.
Mike
This app makes budgeting and tracking your money simple. It is intuitive and well developed. But what really makes this app head and shoulders above other apps is the developers desire to make it better. Not only did they reply back to questions I had about certain functions (I find it rare that app developers even respond to emails or messages), they made changes to the app to address these issues. Amazing!!
Jodi Harbarenko
What an incredible find Waypoint Budget is! I used MINT for well over a decade before it ended, and then switched to YNAB for a couple of years as there seemed to be nothing else available to Canadians. While I liked some aspects of YNAB, it was very expensive and was pretty frustrating to work with in some of its features. I stumbled on Waypoint after asking the internet if any new alternatives were around, and it suggested this great program. Not only is it Canadian, but the price is far better than YNAB, the features are more straightforward to work with (more like MINT used to be), and its founder and designer is incredibly supportive with any questions I have. He has responded right away to any questions or problems I am facing and always makes sure I have everything working as it should be. He is even open to new suggestions of features that I enjoyed in YNAB that are missing in Waypoint and is always improving his program with new changes! It's so amazing to see it evolving. I ended my YNAB subscription and am very happy with my experience thus far with Waypoint. I have the PRO version and have my banks connected to download transactions, and I love that categorizing is straightforward and the dashboard gives me a clear picture of what I've spent in each category and what remains. I know Jamal, the founder, is working with bank connections to make them easier to refresh, but the workaround he gave me is perfect and works like a charm. I give this budgeting program five stars and would say it is worth its value as a life-long budget geek--but also because it is a young Canadian software developer who brought it into being! Incredible program and very worth the trial... and subsequent subscription!
Stevie Baker
Waypoint is amazing. It's intuitive and easy to use. It allows you to set goals, track budget lines, group things together into categories and shows pie charts of the percentages of your budget. You can set goals and feel completely in control and informed. It's an excellent budgeting app the the customer service is second to none.
Félix
I've been searching for the perfect budget app for years, and this one is even Canadian? Jackpot!

Brett Wareham
The WayPointBudget program, through both the web interface and the mobile interface, is much better than using plain Excel to manage a budget and is now our preferred method of budget tracking.
De-anna Lea
I’m really liking waypoint. I have been using EveryDollar for the last 6 yrs and switched over last month. I like the analytics and set up has been fairly easy. Bit of a learning curve with rollover accounts but that’s user error I’m fairly sure. Really like all the options.
Max
I've been using Waypoint Budget mainly to manage a single account, and it handles everything far better than other competitors on the market. The built-in AI is honestly the best part. It makes tracking expenses and managing my account completely effortless. It saves so much manual work. Highly recommend if you want a clean app with AI that actually works!
Viona Smith
Fantastic app to use. Developers are super helpful, provide and take great honest feedback. Really trying to make this app even more amazing then it already is. So happy I found it.
Maxime
Great interface and support for banks.
Noor Soultan
I looked and downloaded a lot of budgeting apps but this one is my fav. Its so easy to upload transaction my problem was connecting my bank to the app but now i just upload screen shots directly
Ryan Plester
Great budgeting tool for less money than others. The dashboard is particularly insightful
Georgette
I have been looking for a way to budget as I look move towards retirement. I had tried YNAB, MINT, and a few others, but found them too complicated. Many of the apps have very dark interfaces which is off putting to me. When I came upon Waypoint Budget, the first thing I liked was the clean look of the website. It is easy to navigate between the different tools - budget, categories, transactions, etc. I was able to connect my bank easily. I now actually enjoy keeping track of my finances. The tool is great, but the service is even better. I had a couple of questions and when I wrote to the website creator, he connected with me within hours, sometimes minutes. He is awesome to work with and has even taken a suggestion I made to make the website even better. He is constantly striving to meet the needs of his clients. I gladly signed up for a year. Check out Waypoint Budget. You will not be disappointed.
Barbara Whittaker
Wonderful experience excellent customer support and product!!

what makes this a 5 star app is the few issues that arose or that I was confused about such as importing transactions and linking banks. I contacted the developer and they messaged back quickly that they implemented fix's for my issues and to retry it. this to me is a very active development team that cares about the product they are selling. 5 star for trust.
Kristin Gyuran
New to this app and love it. I really appreciate how you can interact with the creators to ask questions and recommend improvements. I find it easy to use and it syncs with my bank easily. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to be more mindful with their money.
Byra Dineshkumar
As someone who is still a beginner when it comes to personal finance and budgeting, I've found Waypoint to be incredibly helpful in terms of making the process of tracking expenses and learning how to budget less daunting. I haven't upgraded to being able to sync banking transactions just yet, but even the process of manually entering my expenses, and having a clear visual of where I'm at and my goals has been empowering. I especially love the dashboard, the user interface is easy to navigate. Excited to continue to explore the different features Waypoint has to offer, and to see the platform grow as whole :)
Kerem
Great budgeting app with very active development team! I've been using it for over 5 months and very happy with the user experience. The paid feature to use Plaid to sync bank transactions is worth considering on its own. Filters credit card payment and receive transactions well enough by itself and provides a lot of customization.
JD
Very easy to use. Developers are open to suggestions too. One of the best Canadian budgeting apps out there.
Mathieu Thériault
Great canadian financial planning application. Focuses on what's important, lots of potential and delivers on most of it, the rest will come as they are updating the application steadily on what matters most. Support is superb, quick, detailed, with troubleshooting steps and possible solutions as soon as the first message.
Jared Friesen
Great with Canadian bank. The user interface is great. Budget tool is perfect.
J.P. Métivier
Outstanding product built by an attentive and responsive team. By far the best budgeting tool I've tried. I wish they had a referral program because I'm already referring it to my close circle.
Chad
This is the best Canadian budgeting platform I've used so far. I've tried many other budgeting platforms, but always ended up going back to my spreadsheets-until now. the layout is clean and intuitive, and its incredibly simple and efficient to use. waypoint budget finally gives me everything i liked about with my spreadsheets, without the hassle.
Valerie
I'm a senior with a bit of bookkeeping experience from long ago. That's relevant because I am thrilled to bits that I have found Waypoint to be so easy to use. Of course, there is a learning curve, but between Waypoint themselves and ChatGPT, I've been able to navigate the whole thing. I highly recommend Waypoint -- it's designed for Canadians, which is huge for me, and designed with privacy integrity as well.
James W
One of the best budgeting apps I've used. Not unnecessarily invasive, functional, adaptable. Developing and updating faster than the issues can annoy you. Canadian made is also a huge bonus. Keep up the stellar work team!
