PocketGuard Reviews in February 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

I am really enjoying Pocket Guard

I am really enjoying Pocket Guard. We are just moving over from YNAB. I find Pocket Guard to be more user friendly than YNAB. I do have questions about credit card budgeting however.

Great replacement for Mint or just a new Budgeting App

I found PocketGuard as a replacement for Mint. PocketGuard was very similar and uses trusted platforms to connect your bank accounts which is why I selected it. Similar to Mint, it took a little time to set up with all my accounts but once done it runs as good if not better. For some US/Canadian bank accounts you will need to go through PLAID (Plaid is a platform that enables you to securely connect financial accounts to this app). Just type PLAID into the search bar in PocketGuard and ...

Mint v2.0

This app is very easy to use and plaid makes it very easy to connect with bank accounts. I highly recommend!

I have used other apps and found them…

I have used other apps and found them hard to manage. This is intuitive and easy to maintain. I have already gotten a lot of information from it after only having it a month. Love it!

Absolute crap

Absolute crap! I tried their "free" trial even though they ask for credit card. didnt like it after 30 mins so i closed my account. (it asked me to be sure I wanted to close the account) and they still charged me 2 weeks later! Don't trust these guys they are crap. and the apps not even that good. super bugy

A worthy successor to Mint

A worthy successor to Mint. Somewhat harder to work with, but it satisfies my dual requirements of a web interface and Android app availability.

Appreciate the ability to manage and…

Appreciate the ability to manage and review multiple accounts all in one spot.

This software is terrible.

This software is terrible. I have an account that has been "loading" transactions for over a month. I can't delete it to start over, nor can I refresh it or re-enter my credentials (and it's with Chase bank, a well-known lender). Also, my bank accounts are not refreshing and the current amount and transactions are weeks old. I can't believe we've regressed from Mint (which was wonderful before CreditKarma ruined it and filled it with advertisements) to this crap.

Very difficult to unsubscribe, read the fine print

This company makes it extremely difficult to unsubscribe online and even by closing the account through their portal, you need to email their team or go through the Apple Store to separately cancel. I don't recommend based on this. Customer success team was responsive though, so credit for that.

Great mint replacement

I think this app is an improvement over mint. I’ve had nothing but a good experience with the app (a few months now). Does a way better job of managing pending transactions. Works great to keep my budget in check and plan for the future. Don’t understand the bad reviews about difficulty cancelling and free trial issues, that’s all app store policy not app developer.
