Looks like a cool app.

But what is stopping an application like Mint or Truebill to offer this?

In the case of Mint, Mint is stopping Mint. They've essentially been on life-support and have added no new features in that last ~decade, afaik.

in terms of the features that are there now, what would you recommend using which has more active development? Mint's UI is hot garbage, but it does what I need it to do...

Seconding PC, it’s fantastic.

You can use it as a Mint replacement without any of their Wealth Management offerings? How do they make money? What are the hidden costs?

The aggregator is a loss leader. You do not need to use their wealth management offerings. There is no cost.

I’ve tried to give them money just because the aggregator is so good, and they said no thanks.

Disclaimer: Just a happy user of a financial tool.

They require a phone number for 2FA and they call you trying to sell you financial services.

Except the fact that almost none of the imports actually work.

Literally all of my ~20 accounts work, and the only reason I switched from Mint was because they couldn't connect to 5 of them. PC is light-years ahead of Mint in terms of reliability.

It's a shame that this doesn't work in Canada :(

Second this. As a New Zealander there’s not a lot of options available.

I don’t think Plaid works with ANZ. I’ve tried to authenticate my account with Truffle but it kept erroring out.

I believe Pocketsmith use Yodlee for their bank feeds. While the NZ government prevaricates I doubt there will be any useful bank APIs here any time soon. At least there is some progress in Australia.

If they built it - great! We are all for consumers being better off.
