WealthAge vs Mint
Mint served over 20 million registered users and proved how many people want their money in one place.
Mint was free, funded by ads and referrals, and that model is why it disappeared and took histories with it. WealthAge charges one published price so the product answers to you, and your data is exportable any day, including the day you leave.
If you still have a Mint export file, keep it. Statement and CSV import is part of the product plan, and the compare table below reflects Mint as it was at shutdown.

The honest tradeoff
Mint was free, and that is the honest question here: why isn't WealthAge free too? Mint's free, ad-and-referral-funded model is also why it shut down in March 2024 and took people's account history with it. WealthAge charges $129 a year so the product answers to the people paying for it instead of to advertisers, and your export is one click, any day, including the day you leave. If you are still holding a Mint export file, that history is exactly what a paid, published-method app is built not to lose again.

Why does WealthAge cost more than Mint?
Mint's free, ad-and-referral-funded model never generated enough revenue to keep the product accurate indefinitely, and that is a real part of why it shut down in March 2024. The $95 to $109 a year that Copilot, Monarch, and YNAB now charge is close to what it actually costs to run a money app well, a floor set by that cost rather than by ambition. WealthAge prices a little above that floor on purpose, and the difference funds a validated resilience score with its method published, plus an export you control any day.
