Why people switch.
- 01
Everything Mint did
Every account in one place, automatic categories, budgets, bills and net worth, all rebuilt.
- 02
Without the ads
Mint was ad-supported, with card and loan offers. Foundation is paid for by the people using it.

With AI built in
Ask questions in plain English, get a budget drafted for you, and let categories learn as you go.
- 04
Your history, kept
Import a Mint CSV export and years of history come with you, with categories matched for you.
- 05
Built for two
Your partner joins free with their own sign-in, so you both see the same plan and the same numbers.
- 06
Answers you can check
Ask in plain English and see the transactions behind every number, so you can check the working.
Switching from Mint takes ten minutes.
- 1
Find your Mint export
If you saved a CSV export before Mint closed down, it holds years of your history.
- 2
Connect your banks
Link your accounts in Foundation: read-only, through Plaid, in a few minutes.
- 3
Import, or start fresh
Import the CSV, or let Foundation pull up to two years of history from most banks.
Questions, answered.
What happened to Mint?
Intuit shut Mint down in March 2024 and pointed users to Credit Karma, which focuses on credit scores and offers rather than budgeting.
What is the best Mint alternative?
We think it’s Foundation: the connected, automatic picture Mint gave you, plus AI categorization, a drafted budget and household sharing, for $60 a year with no ads.
Can I import my old Mint data?
Yes. Foundation imports Mint’s CSV export, so years of history aren’t lost.
