Ask HN: Would you use a cheaper and anonymous alternative to xero/mint?

1 pointsadrian_pop12y ago4 comments

For a very long time I am trying to find something that fits my needs...and cheap. I don't want to fight with big guys. I just want to make something useful for me, but in the same time maybe useful for someone else out there.

The plan is already made, around 30% already implemented.

What I want: - simple to use - forecasting - !IMPORTANT - cashflow, income sources - goals - bill reminder - https

What I don't want/need: - your real name, address, location - your phone number, ip address - bank/paypal account

Costs: - free alpha/beta, no matter how long does it take - after launch it could be freemium/pay what you want(modularity)

As long as I cover yearly costs and people use it, I am more than happy.

Finally: would you use it?

I would not. Mint is sufficient for my needs.

Thank you for honestity. Maybe I would use it, but not everyone lives in US.

Ah I didn't realize Mint wasn't available outside the US. In that case if I were living where Mint wasn't available, I would like to use something like it.
