Raj Giri was "blown away" to learn that his favorite budgeting app, Mint, will be discontinued in 2024, which was announced last week. "I was really surprised because the app is so popular," says Giri, an entrepreneur in Denver who says he uses the app "every day" to track his finances. Other loyal Mint users on Reddit echo the sentiment; there seems to be no consensus on a free app that offers all the same budgeting features as Mint. "To some degree, the app has been abandoned for years," he says, referring to what felt like increasingly minimal software updates over time. "This is the peril of relying on free services," says Gaines.
