Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've been thinking about that for a while. Besides a different design and time to reach feature parity, what would be the "unique" thing to solve the problem of managing one's finances?

I don't know if this exists (as someone who uses Mint but doesn't know the space well), but I would kill for a service that aggregates and simply reports my monthly bills for me. I don't need Mint's level of granularity and feature parity: I need a service that reminds me about the $5/mo I'm paying on a subscription that I haven't used in two years.

We do this rather well at MergePay (thanks for the mention twofishies) We give you a broad overview of you income, bills, and expenses daily/weekly/monthly and aggregate all your recurring bills and remind you either via email, SMS, or push if you use the mobile app, before they are due. I built it because I had the same issue.

I wish they'd add support for not double-counting my credit card purchases instead.

Ha, yes... and support for not counting money transferred from savings to checking as income would be nice too.

Is your savings account tracked by mint? Because I do this all the time and I don't see it listed as income, it's a transfer.

Does anyone think there is room for a new mint-like service?

Projected cashflow/account balances.

Yes, yes, and one more emphatic yes. Mint.com never satisfied my needs. I'd like a double-entry ledger, and proper non-USD asset support[1] please.
