As Mint learns more about you and your spending habits, you'll be able to see where your money goes each month. Since I've been using Mint for years, I can see my spending over time. This is available in YNAB, but that comes with an additional cost. You can split your transactions to put the correct amount into each category. Say you get some of your groceries at Target, but you also pick up home supplies and medicine there, too. I also love that I can split spending transactions. Still, I love that I can recategorize transactions that auto-categorize into something completely wrong. The more I use Mint, the more the money management app learns about me. Now I use it for budgeting, making sure I'm paying bills on time, and checking my credit score every week - a newer feature but one I couldn't find in any other app I tried out. It started out as a way to track my spending by syncing up with my banks, credit cards, savings, and loan accounts.
