Mint vs Spendee: A Shut-Down US Tracker vs a Global Spending App
These two never really served the same person. Mint was a free, US-only tracker Intuit shut down in 2024. Spendee is a global, multi-currency spending app with shared wallets and colourful visuals, popular with travellers and couples. With Mint gone, the honest question is whether Spendee fits ex-Mint users, especially those outside the US.

- Automatic US bank sync pulled transactions in for you
- Simple budgets and clean categories most people found easy
- Familiar to millions of long-time US users
Where Spendee wins
- Actively supported and available worldwide, unlike shut-down Mint
- Strong multi-currency support, many currencies per wallet
- Shared wallets where guests can join as free users
- Clean spending visuals travellers like
A third option: Auritrack
Spendee is a good global home for ex-Mint users, but entry is still manual or bank-connected, with no AI and no receipt scanning. Auritrack adds the automation: an AI logs and categorizes your spending from a chat message or an uploaded statement, in any currency, across web, mobile and Telegram. It is free on the mobile apps and Telegram (AI pay-as-you-go), and the web app is from $3/month. Bank sync comes with the $20 Premium plan in the US, Canada, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, and a PDF, CSV or Excel statement works from any other bank.
Or get it free on the App Store, Google Play or Telegram.
The verdict
Mint is discontinued, so this is about where to move. Choose Spendee if you spend across currencies or share wallets with a partner and want a polished, global tracker. If you want that same international reach but with the tracking done for you rather than typed in by hand, an AI tool like Auritrack covers more of the work while still working in any currency.
