Coming from Mint?
The Mint alternative that’s yours to keep.
Intuit shut Mint down and pointed everyone at Credit Karma (which dropped the budgeting most people actually used) or a pile of monthly subscriptions. GlidePath Money is the other kind of answer: you pay once, your data lives on your own computer, and nobody can switch it off or sell what’s inside it.
What the Mint shutdown actually taught people.
Mint was free because the data was the product — it ran on ads and credit-card offers built from your transactions. Then Intuit retired it anyway, folded it into Credit Karma, and the budgeting features didn’t make the trip. The lesson a lot of people took away: an app you don’t pay for, that keeps your financial life on someone else’s servers, can change — or vanish — on someone else’s schedule.
GlidePath opens to your whole picture in plain English — net worth, reserves, retirement, and debt — no ads, no “recommended” cards, nothing trying to sell you.
Computed on your own machine from plain files — the same data Mint sold, kept where only you can see it.
Three things that are different here.
Pay once, not every year
$129 one-time (or $199 with the business tools), plus an optional $39/yr for updates. The apps Mint refugees get herded toward run $84–$109/yr forever — about $420–$545 over five years versus roughly $285 here. Stop paying and GlidePath keeps working; the subscriptions go read-only or dark.
It can’t be shut down on you
GlidePath runs on your computer and stores everything as plain files you can open in any spreadsheet. There’s no cloud account for a company to deactivate and no business decision that locks you out. If you ever walk away, your data is sitting right there.
You’re the customer, not the product
No ads, no “recommended” credit cards, no data monetization. Because it’s local-first, your transactions stay on your machine by default, and the optional cloud features each show exactly what they send before you use them. You paid for it, so it works for you.
The honest tradeoff.
Mint auto-synced everything. GlidePath doesn’t — and that’s deliberate.
Mint connected to your banks through an aggregator and pulled transactions automatically. Convenient — but it meant handing your bank logins and your data to a third party, which is exactly what made you the product. GlidePath brings data in two other ways:
- A free browser extension that captures your download in one click on Chase, American Express, Citi, and Bank of America (more coming).
- Drag-and-drop CSV import for every other bank (plus PDF capture for balance-transfer details).
A little more hands-on than set-and-forget. But your financial file stays local by default — and a calm ten-minute monthly check-in turns out to be the part that actually changes habits, not the part to automate away.
And things Mint never did.
Mint was a rear-view mirror. GlidePath looks forward too.
Retirement projections that run your plan through 1,000 market futures. Your Tax Valley — the low-tax years after you stop working when Roth conversions are cheapest. Countdowns on 0% balance-transfer promos before the rate snaps back. And Glide, an in-app helper that answers “what does this number mean?” in plain English — without ever seeing your accounts.

Bring your Mint history.
You don’t have to start from zero.
If you exported your transactions from Mint before it closed, drop that CSV onto GlidePath’s Import page — format auto-detect reads it and your history comes right along. Years of categorized spending, picked up where Mint left off.
