How this comparison was made
Facts were taken from each app's own App Store listing, in-app purchase list and website on 2026-09-17 (links in the sources list). Ratings are the US App Store. Where a vendor does not publish a fact it is marked n/a rather than guessed. Mint is our app, so the trade-offs section spells out where the others win. Corrections: josh@getmint.app.
