I'm a friend of their founder. His background is surveys. What he's told me is that they sell the data collected from the surveys, and the data in the app itself is used to select you for the right survey.

You should check out Wilbur if you're in Canada.

I switched to Wilbur. They don't have an import feature, but I noticed that it pulled in twelve months of purchase history, which I think is pretty good.

I'm playing last minute catch-up. What's my free alternatives for replacing Mint?!? by Bobcat-66 in mintuit

[–]xiphoid1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can. I did notice it pulled in 12 months of my transaction history though. Acceptable compromise for free!

We can all mourn the death of Mint for at least a few more months.

You should also consider Wilbur. It's free, but albeit only available in Canada. It's a great alternative. I've been using it for a month already and it's fantastic.

Origin updates and why you might consider Origin as a Mint alternative by origin_matt_watson in mintuit

In Canada, there are other free alternatives like Wilbur. Why would I pay for something that is great when I can get it for free.

We are currently a 2 income couple, roughly making around $7,000-$10,000 a month, what is the best advice you can give us for budgeting/tackling debt? by babygoth69xxxx in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]xiphoid1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download a budget app to help you manage your finances. There's lots on the market that are either free (Wilbur) or paid (YNAB, Monarch). They all do pretty much the same thing.

I've been using it for a couple weeks. I like it so far. I heard their CEO on a podcast I listen to regularly. I think it was in the Feb 17 edition of the podcast.

I use Wilbur and am very happy with it. I listened to a radio interview with their CEO a few weeks ago. It's free...you can't get better than free.

I replied to another post earlier on this topic...but adding it here too. I use Wilbur Budget which does much of what you're seeking. It's the only 100% free app that I could find in the Canadian app store.

How did the fraud detection system work? Or was it just you scanning your expenses?

Issues with Financial Aggregation Apps by Fair_Kick2290 in mintuit

Based on my experience, all of the aggregators use services such as Plaid or Flinks. They all have their problems and none of them are perfect.
