It’s one less competitor in the ring, but I know a few companies will try to exploit this. As Craig from Budget Pulse pointed out, these are the only two in the industry. Let’s see what happens.

Laura, do you have any thoughts on the effect that mergers like this have on industry competition?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic, especially since you have some professional knowledge. I’ll be watching for what changes (if any) will be made with the tools.

Congrats to Mint on their success, it’s great to see a peer in the industry have such success, it is a great tool. There have been mixed receptions on comments across the internet for fans of Mint who don’t like Intuit. There are other options for those out there such as Budgetpulse.com (Disclosure: Marketing Director of the tool so of course bias). Hopefully for all their users they keep the tool free, but just because the announce that now, doesn’t mean they won’t turn around and change it within a month when the deal is put through. Changes are always made.
