My wife and I use Monarch Money. It's good, but not free.

$15 a month is steep. It took longer than it should've for me to find that price too, so I get sketchy vibes from this service

How is it with connecting (and staying connected) to different services? My biggest complaint with Mint was how randomly some connections would fail due to not having a standard.

Some of them fail occasionally. The problem account I have (out of 20+) is my Mohela student loans, but I just reconnect it every few months since the balance doesn't change much.

They also usually do a Black Friday deal for 50% off. Highly recommend!

The thing I love most about Monarch is that they actively work to improve it. It's not perfect but they really listen to feedback and every one of my bug reports has been addressed quickly.

I've had exactly the opposite experience. They respond quickly to tell me that nothing will change and I need to live with it.

Second this. YNAB is a glorified spreadsheet. Monarch is what Mint et al shouldve been
