I don't know anything about it, just popped up on my radar screen somehow. They do explicitly say they don't do investment transactions, but they do download using the same set of FIs that Quicken does ("CountAbout uses a widely respected third-party service, Intuit®, to connect our subscribers with their financial institutions."). In fact, they say they use Intuit for this service.



It is a subscription-based product. Also seems to store your data in 'the cloud'.



Anyone use it, or comments?

Comments:

1) No screen shots, mock-up reports or anything else that defines what this software really does. 2) No "about us"... only three people behind this company? Do they expect u s to store highly sensitive financial information with so little transparen cy? Who's financing them, and what exactly does "powered by Intuit" really mean? Where are they based, do they have a physical address? 3) Very much has the look and feel of a startup. Thanks, but until Quicken goes TI, I'll pass.

They also have no phone support (or phone number at all)so it's likely offshore. My satisfaction with that in general is minimal. Seems for from ready for prime time.

Seems more of a competitor to Mint than to Q. I'll be damned before I'll s tore all of my financial data in the cloud with an (for all intents and pur poses) anonymous company.

Oh, I certainly will too. Just seeing if anyone already uses this. Comments about MINT later in the thread also appreciated (about perhaps being more like Mint).
