Tiller vs Mint
Mint was a gateway to personal finance for millions. But now it’s time to graduate to Tiller, a more flexible, powerful, and private tool – one that will never leave you stranded.
MEET TILLER
Like Mint, Tiller automatically brings all your finances together in one place.
But instead of tracking your financial life in an app that can go away, Tiller stores everything in your personal Google or Excel spreadsheets, under your exclusive ownership and control.
Tiller includes easy templates for tracking budgets, expenses, debt, net worth, savings, and more.
Start fast with the Foundation Template. Try a free solution from the Tiller Community. Or build your own dashboard powered by Tiller.
MAKE TILLER YOUR OWN
Manage Your Money, Your Way
Before Mint’s shutdown, the #1 reason people switched to Tiller was frustration with Mint’s inflexibility. But with Tiller, you can customize almost everything, from all your categories and auto-categorization rules to your budgets, reports, and even fonts and colors.
