- In Mint.com I can code a transaction to more than one category (split a transaction). At this time Quicken Online does support splitting a transaction. When I make a purchase at a grocery store, I generally buy more than just groceries. There are usually 2 or more categories involved on a shopping trip. I need to be able to split the transaction into multiple categories or it will completely throw off our family budget.
- In Quicken Online, you can enter upcoming transactions which allows you to track a current balance rather than waiting for items to clear accounts. Mint.com doesn't currently offer entering upcoming transactions. I keep a separate check register so I always know my checking account balance so this isn't as critical for me.
So, if you are looking to set up a budget to track your spending habits, here are two FREE options.
