Mint Shut Down 1 Year Ago. Here’s Why Origin Is the Best Mint Replacement.

About one year ago, Intuit announced that it would be shutting down Mint, the beloved personal finance app, at the end of the year. Millions of users were frustrated by the news, and Intuit’s solution — directing them to sign up for Credit Karma, its other personal finance platform — was unsatisfying. 

Look, I’m biased as the founder and CEO, but I firmly believe Origin is the best Mint alternative. We’re a personal finance app, and we do everything Mint did — and so much more. Mint was the blueprint for our space, and now we’re building on its legacy. We offer Mint’s much-loved features — budgeting, spend tracking, account connection, and net worth tracking — plus a bunch of other capabilities that set Origin apart from other personal finance apps. Plus, we’re totally ad free.

Origin puts all of your financial information in one place, so you can easily manage and grow your money. We give you the tools to do so, including access to Certified Financial Planners®, tax filing, and easy and affordable estate planning.

In the past year, we’ve debuted a ton of features at an exceptionally fast velocity, making Origin truly an all-in-one platform. We rolled out integrations with Zillow and Coinbase, meaning your net worth in Origin truly reflects all of your assets. We’ve made spend tracking even more customizable with editing and adding manual transactions. We began offering estate planning. In September, we debuted a high-yield cash account with a market-beating rate, and launched stock bundles. 

We’ve spent the year improving our AI financial assistant, Sidekick, because we know that maximizing the future of personal finance requires harnessing the power of AI. We’ve created Sidekick workflows that give you a full snapshot of your investment positions in seconds — coupled with actionable portfolio guidance — and help you quickly assess your retirement readiness.

Best of all, our price point is unbeatable. We offer an annual subscription at $119/year, which includes a 30% off discount on financial planning and estate planning.

We’re continuing to launch new features, and are doing so at impressive speeds. (By the time you read this, we’ve probably rolled out some more!) Our top-notch customer care team is super-responsive to user concerns and feedback, whether shared via email, on social media, or in live chat on our website — where we have just a one-minute response time. 

Customer feedback is super important to us; we seek out input and turn it into an actionable to-do list, and we build on our support team’s conversations with users to help us prioritize which new capabilities we should focus on. Our product advisory council — made up of real Origin users — gives feedback on each new functionality and tells us what they want us to work on next. And we also really value our Reddit community, where we share info about upcoming launches as well as our works in progress.

If you’re still lost in the maze of post-Mint personal finance options, or you’re looking for something that does more than just track your spending, Origin is for you. Everything we do at Origin is in line with our mission to democratize wealth management, and we want you to tap into the full potential of what we offer.
