A better comparison might have been Microsoft Money or Intuit's Quicken which by the way recently purchased Mint.com. Both have some of the same essential features as Mint.com, including the ability to import information from your bank account, the ability to itemize expenditures, and detailed reporting features. The main difference between products like Quicken and MS Money and a product like Mint.com is that both Quicken and Money have desktop applications, which means an internet connection is not required to view your data and run reports. An internet connection is however recommended for downloading bank account information.
