Nice. You should post to http://beta.techendo.co/ if you're looking for users to help with research!

I'll forward that link to our User Research Lead. Thanks!

See my comment above. Where most of these tools fail is with investments (brokerages, 401k, and real estate). If yours can do that, I'm certainly interested. Really, there's nothing out there for the power user. I believe that market would pay for a good product that doesn't try to push stuff on them (ahem... wealthfront).

You are right. That there isn't much out there for the "power" users.

We (HelloWallet) are much more focused on holistic financial wellness. But we are working on some very exciting investment-oriented products as we speak.

It still would be interesting to get your perspective if you want to create an account:

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

Looking to try out Hello Wallet as well. Signed up using the link, but not sure if it had hit the limit or not. There's nowhere inside the website to hit "upgrade" or see my account status.

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. [1] Not even GNU cash gets this right. See: http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html

Need all that? You might like to try Quicken.

Quicken is a single-entry ledger, and therefore by nature doesn't handle non-currency and foreign currency assets properly either..

If you're serious about financial tracking and don't mind paying $100 a year, there's a site called PocketSmith [0] that's a beautiful, clean, and fuller-featured version of Mint. They have a free version but it only supports credit card accounts and 12 budget categories. I just started using it two days ago and it blew me away. [0] http://pocketsmith.com

Does pocketsmith do auto loans, mortgages, brokerage accounts, 401k, and home values (e.g. via zillow)? Where most online tools fail is with investments. Especially real estate (rentals in my case), which is where most of my money is allocated.

They do have mortgage and investment accounts, but I've not been impressed with their investment planning tools. There isn't much in the way of historical trends, etc. Regardless, the checking / savings / credit aspect is incredibly detailed so it works well for me (not much real estate). It is pricey, but I am willing to pay to escape Mint's interface.

Budgeting isn't really an issue for me (managing my savings and investments is). Until I can find a better site that supports mortgages and investments, mint works the best. Though, I'd be happy to try hellowallet once there are some more advanced features.

I use wikinvest.com for tracking investments and assets.

I tried wikinvest, but it really just for brokerage accounts. I'm big into real estate. Currently, nothing fits my use case better than mint and mint is not ideal (e.g. can't do cashflow). Also, I want a single place to see my networth as it's a huge factor in understanding my progression towards retirement. Having multiple interfaces makes this difficult.

Good ol' Yodlee MoneyCenter is pretty decent at tracking net worth. https://moneycenter.yodlee.com.

I don't log in much nowadays, but I remember it is pretty easy to add asset values and get them figured into net worth. You have to keep manually-input stuff updated, of course.

Several of the companies that offer bank feeds ("add your account") use Yodlee's data.
