Mint alternative
Mint died. Here's the Canadian replacement for the part that mattered.
Mint did a lot of things. For most people, the part that really mattered was that quiet moment of "wait, what am I even paying for?" When Intuit shut Mint down, Canadians got pushed toward Credit Karma (not the same thing) or Rocket Money (American). Neither cleanly helps a Canadian find the subscriptions they've forgotten about.
What Erasr replaces — and what it doesn't
Erasr is not a full budgeting app. It won't sort every coffee into a folder. It does one thing, and does it well: it finds every subscription quietly billing you, shows you the real monthly total, and helps you cancel the ones you don't want — with Canadian cancellation scripts that actually work on Rogers, Bell, Telus, GoodLife and the rest.
If you used Mint to track your whole financial picture and plan a budget, Erasr won't be a one-to-one replacement, and we won't pretend it is. If you used Mint mostly to catch subscriptions you'd forgotten about, Erasr is better at exactly that — and it does it without ever linking to your bank, in Canadian dollars, with your data kept in Toronto.
The trade you're making
Mint plugged straight into your bank account. Powerful — and exactly why a lot of people felt uneasy about it. Erasr does the opposite on purpose: you forward your bills to your private Erasr inbox, and that's all we ever see. You miss any charge that never sends you an email; in return you get a tool that works from your email receipts instead of your bank account and can't see anything you didn't hand it.
That's the honest pitch: it does less, and you can trust it more. If that's the trade you want, the beta is open.
