StatementBear vs Mint

Mint shut down in 2024. Here is how StatementBear compares as a modern alternative for spending analysis.

The bottom line

After Mint shut down and merged with Credit Karma in 2024, many users lost their go-to spending tracker. StatementBear offers a fresh alternative with a fundamentally different approach. Instead of connecting your bank account, you upload statement PDFs and get AI-powered analysis. You get a spending score, category breakdowns, and honest financial feedback without the ads and credit score upsells that came with Mint. It is a cleaner, more private way to understand your spending.

Why choose StatementBear

Key advantages over Mint

Actually available

Mint shut down in early 2024 and pushed users to Credit Karma. StatementBear is actively developed and growing. No risk of your finance tool disappearing overnight.

No ads, no upsells

Mint was free because it showed you ads and pushed credit card offers. StatementBear has a clean, ad-free experience. You see your spending analysis, not marketing.

AI-powered insights

Mint gave you basic spending summaries. StatementBear uses AI to provide personalized, actionable insights about your spending habits and how to improve them.

Privacy-first approach

Mint required bank login credentials and shared data with Intuit. StatementBear works with PDF uploads. Your banking credentials stay with you.

Spending score grading

Get an A-F financial health grade that Mint never offered. Track your score over time and see real improvement in your spending habits.

Honest financial feedback
