Good fit for Users who want full double-entry accuracy and reporting depth (Sankey diagrams, expense-by-category, multi-currency).
Weak at Steeper learning curve than Actual or Maybe — double-entry concepts can frustrate Mint refugees.

Replaces these SaaS
- Mint · Personal finance / budget tracking
Use the official compose at docs.firefly-iii.org (firefly-iii + data-importer + cron containers). Mint CSV export imports via Firefly's Data Importer module. Connect ongoing bank feeds via Nordigen (free EU) or SimpleFIN (US, paid) using the Data Importer's bank-bridge mode. Firefly is ledger-first — every transaction is double-entry (asset → expense, asset → asset transfer) which is more rigorous than Mint but takes adjustment.
