Organizes budget into categories
Mint splits your spending into different categories, such as gas or fast food, so you can see where you're spending too much money or how much you need to budget for.
See More
Top
Con
Unsafe
With very few exceptions, Mint isn't just syncing your data over, but is using your username and password to log directly into the bank website. Banks will not reimburse for any fraud or stolen funds that may result from this, or may use Mint as an excuse to not reimburse for charges or stolen funds that occur from other causes.

Report customization is complex and difficult
Setting the options for existing reports requires use of a multi-tab interface with poor usability. Creating new reports requires programming that will be beyond the abilities (or desire to spend time and effort) of many users.

Pro
Double entry accounting
By fully using the double entry accounting features in GnuCash, you can know (for example) not only that you spent $25 at Hugemart but that you spent $13 on groceries, $2 on disinfecting wipes, and $5 on motor oil. Later on, you can use data from that transaction and others to find out how much you're spending each month on food, home supplies, and car maintenance, along with other expense categories.

Cons

Top
Pro
Ability to pay bills all from one place
This application gains more than the read only access of most finance tracking applications with the ability to pay bills right from the application. This may be a security concern for some people but the ability to pay bills all from one place is extremely convenient if your financial institution supports it.
See More
Top
Con
Delay before bill is paid
Check takes two day to process the bill payment before it is paid. Check should help you stay on top of your bills so that you pay them early but if you don't you can make an express payment that pays in about 24 hours. Although the express payment costs $7 so it is best not to procrastinate.
See More
Top
Pro
Calendar view for bills
The calendar view is a fantastic feature to overview all incoming bills due dates and plan the month.
See More
Top
Con
Financial coaching features are not very useful
The visuals and analytics in Check are not as useful as they are in applications such as Mint. There is no way to set up a budget and there are not many ways to better optimize your spending. Check is best at what it was designed to do from the beginning: bill paying.
See More

Free to use and pay bills without advertisements
It is free to pay bills with Check if paying from a bank account or debit card. Credit cards add a 4% service fee. If an express bill payment is needed, the cost is $7.
