I have tried Mint, Personal Capital, GNUCash, and probably a few others, and I seem to have settled on Tiller. Basically, I like the convenience of automatically pulling in transactions and balances, but I like retaining control of the budgeting process.

I know there are a ton of others out there, so let's post our favorites and a short explanation of what makes them great.

I feel like I've tried just about everything - YNAB is still the best.

It's frustrating to have to pay for a third-party service to pull in European bank transactions, though. YNAB is expensive enough on its own.

I love YNAB. I did not love the price hike they instituted here in the last couple of years.

Still worth it in my book though.

I've been using YNAB since 2013 and I really enjoy the method, it fits with my lifestyle.

However, I went back to using the old YNAB4 when they announced the big price hike. I manually import the transaction files from my bank. It's easy and doesn't take a lot of time. I couldn't justify the new price, especially when taking exchange rates into account.
