I think you would convert a lot more if you used https://budgetable.com . Im not giving someone my account information unless it is encrypted. As a potential customer, lack of that makes me wonder how secure the backend is. Otherwise, looking forward to what you come up with

The actual web app is https. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm a Mint user. Mint does all those things, no? I have all my accounts pulling in (credit, checking, savings, mortgages, car loans). I can see the balance on each. I can see all my transactions for each (both combined and filtered separately). I can manually enter transactions until they make it through the system (like entering a check so you don't forget that deduction if the person takes 3 weeks to cash it). I can build budgets. I have a grand total of my net worth (assets - debts). I get alerts when budgets are exceeded or finance fees were added. I'd say Mint has put together a nice set of features. So what else are you doing that Mint doesn't?

Edit: oh. I watched the video. So it sounds like the only thing it does that Mint doesn't do is go look for coupons/deals for the places it sees I've spent money. That has minimal value to me. Certainly not enough to make me switch from Mint. It might appeal to others not already using (or not heavily using) Mint.

In addition to addressing about the ~10,000 common problems which are unresolved on Mint's support site? http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint

Deal alerts on your favorite stores, detects wasteful spending, a budget that actually works, deal aware transactions, API, Many many more charts/graphs, etc

Cool. I don't have any issues and I don't need the deals features so I guess I'm not your target. Best of luck to you.
