What Mint did, and where it lives in Orbiq
| You used Mint for | In Orbiq |
|---|---|
| Seeing all your accounts in one place | One ledger. Canadian banks sync on Orbiq Connect, through Plaid. Statements from elsewhere import by file or screenshot |
| Automatic categories | Suggested for every row; fix a merchant once and Orbiq learns it |
| Budgets | Monthly and yearly budgets, by category, tag or merchant |
| Bills and what’s coming | Bills, a cash calendar and a 30, 60 or 90-day forecast |
| Trends | A dashboard where every figure opens the rows behind it |
| Paying for it | Mint was free because ads and offers paid for it, and it shut down in early 2024. Orbiq has no ads:Core CAD $79/yr (≈ USD $55) or CAD $9/mo (≈ USD $6)Connect CAD $129/yr (≈ USD $90) or CAD $15/mo (≈ USD $11), with Canadian and US bank sync |
Built in Canada, priced in Canadian dollars
- Priced in CAD, from CAD $9/mo, free for the first 18 days, no card.
- Your data in Canada. The primary database is in Canada, encrypted at rest. How Orbiq handles your data.
- Canadian bank sync on Orbiq Connect, through Plaid; or import a statement from any bank with no login. Banks verified for import.
- A second currency is normal here. US dollars from a cross-border job, rupees sent to family, euros for a flat abroad: each amount stays in its own currency, at the rate from its own day.
One honest difference
Mint was free because ads and offers paid for it. Orbiq is a subscription with no ads, and nothing in it is selling you a card or a loan. That is the trade.
What Orbiq does differently
- One ledger for every currency you live in. CAD, USD, INR, GBP, EUR, AUD and nine more sit together; each row keeps the amount and currency the bank wrote.
- The rate from each transaction’s own day. Totals in your home currency are converted row by row, not at one rate for the month.
- What a transfer really cost. Orbiq pairs the two legs of a transfer between your countries and prices it against the mid-market rate on the day it left.
- Import from anywhere. Screenshots, PDF statements, CSV, XLSX and OFX, from any bank in any country, with no bank login. Canadian and US banks can also sync on Orbiq Connect, through Plaid.
- Leave whenever you like. Export everything as documented JSON, or as CSV files YNAB and Actual Budget import, and read an export offline with the open-source viewer.
