VentureBeat: Buxfer is giving Mint, other personal finance sites, a run for their money

  • Roberto Villegas · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I've been a big fan of Buxfer ever since I read about them off of Web Worker Daily. And since I have an Iphone, I'm really loving it :). definitely a great service, though I have yet to try the Gears integration.

    The Buxfer guys are wicked smart and hard working. I like their product because it allows me to do one simple thing very well. It allows me and my roommate to split up our bills.

    I love moneytrackin.com another little startup in the same space. MT got angel investion from Martin Varsavsky (FON ceo, invested by google sequoia among others)

    moneytrackin also has a native iPhone application that can be installed through famous Installer app on jailbreaked iphones/itouchs (Productivity->iMoneytrackin)

    For me is in the same field as buxfer, tiny startups with little angel investments that are a good target for adquisitions from other bigger personal finances like Mint

    Also, http://www.moneytrackin.com is located in Europe and has a strong focus on international users (multiliungual and 48 internation currencies supported) with most of users outside the US

    his acquisition could be a good stratergy in order to expand the business

    Buxfer is a great up and coming site. It's services are becoming recognized by the industry's biggest names.

    I am starting to love Buxfer. It is emerging at a time when we all seem to be financially strained. The people who put this site together are brilliant.

    I am checking out Buxfer right now - I had used Mint for about a month but was very disappointed in its ability to sync my multiple accounts and give me a birds-eye view without me having to type in a bunch of passwords...I also didn't trust their security.

    Buxfer's user interface is intuitive and kicks the pants off most others in the "Quicken killer" category (Wesabe, Mint, Geezeo...). That said, the Buxfer account balances NEVER match the data that my bank is reporting. I've e-mailed Buxfer about this 2 or 3 times with no response. Because they don't have a forum or user community I find it impossible to get any answers to problems. Be wary of the customer service on these start-up financial data sites. One day they will be here and when the VC money dries up? Then what?

    I am Managing my personal finance with mybudget-online.com with who is so far the easiest one.
    I use this website because i just need a login and password to create my account so i don't share my bank account to anybody and that's the most important thing.

    Mint doesn't store your login data, they partner with Yodlee for their account access function. Yodlee stores similar data for a LOT of companies.

    After trying nearly all such programs, I've temporarily settled on Buxfer and Geezeo. I don't use a mainstream bank and Mint doesn't offer manual or browser-based uploads, so they really aren't an option for me. That said, their way is more secure. Storing the data on my computer in a Google Gears database? No thanks.
