Sweetness of the Day - Expensr.com
It’s been a while since I wrote about something truly awesome that adds value to my life . I’m reversing the trend today with Expensr, an excellent finance webapp that helps keep track of finance records online.
Now, it may not be mint, the oft-buzzed about web application that took top honors (and a healthy chunk of change) home at this year’s TechCrunch 40. Mint, in my opinion, is for those who are totally fearless about merging automatic screen-scraping and finance: a lack of online banking APIs (for obviously good reasons) makes you wonder about mint’s long term prospects.
While Expensr doesn’t have the automatic transaction downloading bells and whistles (…yet), it’s still a very snappy location-independent way of keeping track of how much I have in my accounts and how much I’ve spent this month. There’s plenty of other features that a good web2.0 app should have: community-centric, a blog, and founders who get back to me on bugs and feedback within the day, but it’s the relative ease-of-use and charting features that keep me coming back instead of jumping to Excel or Money.
And it’s free to use, of course.
