Finman is built from the ground up with AI at the center. The AI CFO chat, auto-categorization, receipt scanning, and forecasting all use modern large language models and computer vision — not the rule-based automation that defined Mint's era.
Mint's business model was built on advertising and lead generation — serving you ads for credit cards and financial products. Finman earns revenue through subscriptions only. Your data is never sold or used for advertising.
Mint was built for single users. Finman's family finance feature supports multi-member households with shared budgets, split expenses, and privacy controls — a major gap Mint never addressed.
Mint excelled at showing you where your money went. Finman adds where your money is going — with 3, 6, and 12-month cash flow forecasts that account for your recurring expenses, seasonal patterns, and planned events.
Finman is free to start. Connect your accounts, try the AI CFO chat, and see what modern personal finance looks like.
