Avery vs Mint

The Mint alternative that syncs your bank data into a Google Sheet you own

A simpler, spreadsheet-first alternative to Mint for people who want bank sync, categorization, and Google Sheets control. Intuit retired Mint in 2024 and moved users to Credit Karma, which dropped the budgeting tools people relied on — Avery picks up where Mint left off, but your data lives in a Google Sheet you own, not a closed app that can be switched off.

Avery vs Mint

How Avery compares to Mint

What happened to Mint — and why it matters

Intuit shut Mint down on March 23, 2024 after roughly 17 years and pushed users to Credit Karma, which doesn’t carry over budgets, custom categories, or net-worth tracking. Millions of people lost the workflow they’d relied on — a reminder that a free, closed app can disappear overnight.

  • Mint was discontinued in March 2024
  • Credit Karma dropped budgets, categories & net worth
  • Mint was US & Canada only and ad-funded
  • Your history lived in Intuit’s cloud, not your own files

The best Mint replacement if you loved automatic imports

The feature most people miss is Mint’s automatic transaction feed — accounts updating themselves so the budget was always current. Avery keeps exactly that: connect your banks once and AI-categorized transactions flow into your sheet every day.

  • Daily automatic bank sync, like Mint’s auto-import
  • AI categorization instead of rigid rule buckets
  • Two years of history pulled in on setup
  • US, UK & European banks via Plaid and GoCardless

This time, own your data

Mint’s shutdown proved the risk of keeping your financial life inside someone else’s app. Avery writes everything into a Google Sheet in your own Drive — so even if you cancel, your transactions, categories, and history stay with you.

  • Data lives in a Google Sheet you own, not a closed app
  • Nothing gets deleted if Avery ever goes away
  • Edit, re-categorize and build your own formulas
  • No ads and no selling your spending data

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Mint shut down and deleted my data — does Avery avoid that risk?
Yes. Avery syncs your transactions into a Google Sheet that lives in your own Google Drive, so even if you cancel, your data and history stay with you — nothing gets deleted out from under you.
Mint was US and Canada only. Does Avery work outside the US?
Yes. Avery supports open banking across the US, UK, Ireland, Germany, France, and Spain via Plaid and GoCardless — markets Mint never served.
Mint kept miscategorizing my transactions. Is Avery better?
Avery categorizes transactions with AI and learns from your own custom rules. Because everything lands in a spreadsheet you control, you can correct, re-rule, and build formulas and dashboards however you want.
Mint was free but ad-supported. What does Avery cost?
Avery is free to start, then paid from $9.99/month — with no ads and without selling your spending data, which is how Mint kept the lights on.
