1. Monarch
Subscription fee: Free for seven days, then 99 dollars per year
Who is it best for: Everyone
If you were a committed Mint user and are also devastated about it going away, Monarch is the ultimate replacement option. Monarch is an all-in-one option; you can look at all your expenses in one place while linking multiple financial accounts and setting up your personal goals. It isn’t free, but it’s extremely user-friendly and clean in design.
2. Quicken Simplifi
Subscription fee: 24 dollars per year or two dollars per month
Who is it best for: Everyone
Unfortunately, Quicken Simplifi doesn’t offer a free trial, but its fairly low-cost yearly subscription makes up for it. Quicken Simplifi is the simple solution to your budgeting problems — you can easily flag transactions, get alerts for upcoming bills and set personal savings goals. Plus you can add other people like your partner to the account to collaborate on financial planning.
3. Rocket Money
Subscription fee: Four dollars to 12 dollars monthly
Who is it best for: More experienced budgeters
Rocket Money’s biggest selling point is its ability to identify those sneaky subscriptions you keep getting charged for and cancel them straight from the app itself. This app is the best for monitoring all your subscriptions in one place and getting alerts for upcoming bills or charges. If you feel like money tends to disappear from your checking account mysteriously, this app is your best solution.
4. EveryDollar
Subscription fee: 14-day free trial, then $17.99 per month or $79.99 per year
Who is it best for: Everyone
There is a free version of this app, but there are not many features in that price tier. However, if you opt into the paid subscription, although a bit pricey, EveryDollar is fairly intuitive. You can connect your bank accounts to have a seamless experience and understanding of your money flow; additionally, you can categorize your payments and set reminders.
5. YNAB
Subscription fee: 14.99 per month or 99 dollars per year
Who is it best for: More experienced budgeters
This app is not very beginner-friendly, so if you are new to budgeting or not as tech-inclined, this may not be the best pick on the list for you. The upside of this app is that from the moment you get paid, it tells you the amount of your paycheck that should go to different categories depending on the goals you’ve set for yourself. This app is perfect for the serious saver and investor — it’s not for those who are more casual with money plans.
6. Honeydue
Subscription fee: It’s free!
Who is it best for: Couples or really close roomies
Sharing expenses has never been easier than using Honeydue. Ideal for couples or roommates close enough to share finances, this app allows you to look at a snapshot of whatever bank accounts are synced and to set and plan financial goals together. Similar to other apps on this list, you can also set reminders for upcoming payments.
7. PocketGuard
Subscription fee: 7.99 per month, 34.99 per year or 79.99 for a lifetime membership
Who is it best for: Everyone
With PocketGuard, simple is better. The app gives you a comprehensive breakdown of where your money is going so you can plan better for the future. It also shares a common feature, like the other apps on this list, of being able to keep your accounts in one place and schedule payments. It may not offer the most novel options, but it’s probably the easiest to use and navigate.
