The Mint Refugee's Guide to PocketVault

Mint is gone. Now what?

When Intuit shut down Mint in early 2024, 3.6 million users lost access to their financial tracking tool. Many were pushed toward Credit Karma, which lacks budgeting features, or expensive subscriptions like YNAB (09/year) and Monarch (9/year).

PocketVault offers a different path: an affordable app that keeps your data on your device, so no company shutdown can ever take your financial history away.

Getting your data into PocketVault

If you exported your Mint data before the shutdown, you likely have a CSV file. PocketVault’s CSV importer handles Mint’s export format:

1. Open PocketVault and go to Settings > Import
2. Select your Mint CSV file
3. Map the columns (PocketVault auto-detects common Mint formats)
4. Review and import

If you’re coming from Credit Karma, YNAB, or another app, the same CSV import process works. Download a CSV export from your current app and import it into PocketVault.

Why PocketVault won’t meet Mint’s fate

Mint was free because it monetized your data through targeted financial product recommendations. When the economics didn’t work, Intuit killed it.

PocketVault has a sustainable model: a $12/year subscription that funds development without depending on your data. And since your data lives on your device, even if PocketVault the company disappeared tomorrow, your data and the app continue working.

Making the switch

PocketVault is free to start. Download it, import your data, and see if it fits your workflow. If you want advanced features like multi-currency, AI insights, and investment tracking, Premium is just $1/month ($12/year) — 88% cheaper than any alternative.
