monthtomonths vs Mint — Privacy-first finance tracking vs ad-supported dashboards

About Mint

Mint was one of the original free budgeting apps, offering bank account aggregation, budgets, and credit score tracking. However, Mint is fundamentally an advertising platform — it shows you financial product recommendations based on your spending data. Your financial information is used to target ads. Mint requires bank account connections, which means giving a third party access to your banking credentials. While the app itself is free, you pay with your data and attention. Mint has also experienced service disruptions and uncertainty about its long-term future.
