Budgeting

Avenue vs. Mint

Mint is gone. Your financial life still needs management.

Mint was Intuit's free budgeting and account-tracking app. Intuit shut it down in January 2024, redirecting users to Credit Karma. Millions of former Mint users are now looking for a modern replacement.

Quick verdict

Mint tracked where your money went. Avenue tells you where it should go — and eventually moves it there automatically. It's the upgrade Mint never had time to build.

Why people switch from Mint to Avenue

You need something that actually exists

Mint shut down in January 2024. Every day you go without a financial system is a day your money is unmanaged. Avenue replaces Mint's tracking layer and adds the AI intelligence layer Mint never had.

From reactive tracking to forward-looking answers

Mint told you what you spent. Avenue answers the questions that actually matter: "Am I on track? What can I safely spend this month? When can I retire?" That's a fundamentally different product.

No more ad-driven recommendations

Mint was free because it sold you financial products. Avenue's incentive is your financial health, not your credit card applications.

Where Mint still wins

  • Mint was free, which lowered the barrier to entry for people new to financial tracking.
  • Mint had broad name recognition and a large user community.

If you were a Mint user, you already understand why a unified financial dashboard matters. Avenue picks up where Mint left off — and goes much further.

Connect your accounts in minutes and get an instant view of your complete financial picture.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Mint alternative?
Since Mint shut down in January 2024, Avenue is among the strongest alternatives — offering account aggregation, AI-powered financial insights, savings rate tracking, and year-round tax estimation in a single product without ads.
Did Mint get replaced by Credit Karma?
Intuit directed former Mint users to Credit Karma, but Credit Karma is primarily a credit monitoring product, not a full financial management system. Avenue offers the budgeting and financial intelligence layer that Mint used to provide, plus the AI capabilities Mint never had.
Is Avenue free like Mint was?
Unlike Mint, which was free because it monetized through financial product advertisements, Avenue's business model is aligned with your financial health rather than ad revenue. Visit gotavenue.com to see current pricing.
