Mint or Thrive for your online finances?

Asked by NoCatharsis (207points) July 29th, 2009

I’ve been managing all of my account information through Mint.com for the last 8 or 9 months, then discovered Thrive (www.justthrive.com) about a month or two ago. I’m now using both because they each have their own positives/negatives, but I’m trying to decide which will end the online finance battle. Or is there another contender I’m completely overlooking?

I’m satisfied with Mint, but many people like Quicken On-Line. Personally I think Intuit has become too greedy.

I’ve been using Mint for several years. It is great and continues to improve itself.

Mint works for me, plus there’s an iPhone app.

To help balance things here. I’ve been using thrive for the last few months and would deem myself ‘satisfied’ however I have been considering moving to Mint. The only reason I do this would be for the iPhone app

I’m leaning towards Thrive these days. I liked Mint a lot, but the budgeting is kind of stupid. It doesn’t catch transactions in categories that I forget to manually add to my budget. What if I have a doctor bill one month and forgot to add it to my budget? Well now that’s not factored into my budgeting on the main screen.

Thrive catches everything and categorizes automatically and based upon its past experience with what you’ve categorized – it’s much smarter. And it gives pretty good savings advice and calculates different lengths of time for savings plans.
