    A Mint alternative that tells you where your business money is going

    Mint was the go-to free app for tracking personal spending. After it shut down, many solo businesses and freelancers were left looking for something that does the same thing for work income and expenses. SnapBooks fills that gap: upload your receipts, connect your transactions, and the AI shows you where every dollar is going — with categories mapped to Schedule C for tax time.

    Upload your transactions and see where your money is going

    Export your transactions from Mint, your bank or Stripe as CSV and drop the file below. It is parsed right here in your browser — nothing is uploaded — and you get the Mint-style breakdown: money in, money out, spend by category and your top vendors.

    Live demo · Where is my money going?

    Columns we look for: date, description/merchant, amount.

    Or start from a receipt

    Mint never handled paper. Snap a receipt and the AI pulls the vendor, amount, date and expense category in a couple of seconds.

    When Mint is the better choice

    • You only need free personal budgeting and are not running a business.
    • You want to track household spending, credit scores and bills in one app.
    • You are not filing a Schedule C or managing client invoices.

    When SnapBooks is the better choice

    • You want the 'where is my money going' experience Mint gave you, but for your business.
    • You upload receipts or bank statements and want AI to categorize them automatically.
    • You need to know spending by category, vendor and tax deduction at a glance.
    • You want invoices, expenses and tax-ready reports in one place for $15/mo.

    How switching usually works

    1. Export your clients, invoices and expense history from Mint as CSV.
    2. Start a SnapBooks trial and use the onboarding importer to bring the CSV in.
    3. Run both in parallel for one month and reconcile the totals.
    4. Cancel Mint once your reports match and your invoices are sending from SnapBooks.

    Questions people ask

    Is there a real replacement for Mint for business owners?

    Yes. SnapBooks is built for freelancers and small businesses who want the same clarity Mint gave for personal spending — where money comes in, where it goes, and what's left — but mapped to business and tax categories.

    Can I upload my bank statements or receipts and see where the money went?

    Yes. SnapBooks lets you upload receipts, invoices and CSV statements. The AI reads and categorizes them, then shows you a spending breakdown by category and vendor so you can see exactly where your money is going.

    Is SnapBooks free like Mint was?

    No. SnapBooks is $15/mo with a 7-day free trial. It covers business bookkeeping, receipt scanning, invoicing and tax-ready reports, which is a different scope than free personal budgeting.

    Can I import my old Mint data?

    You can export your transactions from Mint as CSV and import them into SnapBooks during onboarding. The AI will categorize them as business expenses and you can clean up any personal transactions.

    Does SnapBooks show my spending trends?

    Yes. The dashboard shows spending by category over time, top vendors, and cash flow trends, similar to the way Mint surfaced personal spending insights.
