Do you have an iPhone app on the way? Currently I keep a Mint account for my business which I check frequently on my iPhone. That being said, Mint is just a toy for me; the real work gets done in Quickbooks.

Your pricing seems oddly segmented. Intuitively, I don't know how many transactions I run each month. I'm not even sure how I'd count them. I'm pretty sure it isn't more than 500, but who knows. At the 'enterprise' level (and I'm certainly not enterprise) I would have a tough time justifying a price nearly equivalent to buying a copy of Quickbooks Pro every single month. Especially when my accountant is still going to want a Quickbooks file to prepare my taxes.

Here is a suggestion for you. I know I, and at least 15 other people will immediately switch if you make Citibusiness Online support work. Check out this thread from Mint's support forum: http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint/topics/citi_business_not_a... ? To make a long story short, Citibank for business is a major bank and there's a lot frustrated people that would love to use Mint for their business, if only they mad…

Hey Alex, We're on this. Would love to have you + 15 other people switch to us :) Figuring out which banks we don't support (that people need us to support) is a pretty big challenge. We've already gotten requests to support canadian banks and even swiss banks. - Jess

Keep me posted on the Swiss bank, also any offshore accounts in the Caymans. There's a couple offers coming out of Nigera that I'm about to move on.

:)

Congratulations on the launch, and cheering for your team!

Congrats on the awesome product and launch! I've been waiting for something like this for a while. I just signed up, and it looks really promising.

Thoughts/bugs:

- I tried to add a category under "Bills," and it goes through. But the sub-menu doesn't show up on mouse-over, possibly because there's no built in categories under Bills.

- I added just one account and clicked through to the dashboard, but it shows no accounts in the bottom left sidebar and so calculates a total of $0. The graph on the right is drawn based on my actual numbers, but then the figures displayed below it are all $0.

- How about built-in categories for things web entrepreneurs commonly deal with, like legal bills or server costs?

Email me if you want screenshots/details on these.

With Wesabe announcing they're shutting down a couple days ago, this could be good timing. I'd been using Wesabe for our business accounts (Mint wouldn't work with one of our accounts, and Wesabe's downloader thingy did work, so it won by default). And, if it happens to address business needs a bit better than Mint or Wesabe, that's even better. It's a huge market, but I think you've got an uphill battle. Quickbooks…

There's also Outright.com, I believe they have Yodlee integration as well too. They're also free for any size account :-) I also believe they have a rest-based oauth 2.0 api in there as well.

Outright doesn't (or didn't seem to, when I tried it out a month or two back) support auto import of bank transactions. So it could handle credit card transactions but you had to enter all of your deposit account data manually. Dealbreaker.

Really interesting- the cashflow analysis is killer! Totally worth paying for, if pricing was based around the product as a cashflow tool. The rest, though, is just a 10% Mint clone, without the flexibility.

I'd almost rather use it as a dedicated cash-flow analysis service- way more focused, way more valuable.
