Why people choose Debt Driver
The differences that matter most when your goal is getting out of debt — fast.
Built for paying off debt, not tracking it
Mint was great at showing you the balances on your debts. Debt Driver tells you exactly which one to pay first, how much extra to send, and the date you will actually be debt-free — using your real numbers.
Still here when Mint is not
Mint was shut down in March 2024 and folded into Credit Karma. Debt Driver is a focused, paid product — no aggregator partnerships, no ad-driven business model, no risk of being sunset because the parent company changed strategy.
No bank linking, no ads, no aggregator
Mint's free model was paid for by ads and credit-card offers built right into the dashboard. We charge a subscription so we never have to monetize your attention or your data — there are zero ads, zero aggregator partnerships, and zero bank connections.
A specific strategy, not just balances over time
Mint showed your debts on a chart. Debt Driver runs both snowball and avalanche with your real numbers, recommends the one that fits your situation, and turns it into a short list of weekly tasks. The plan does the thinking — you just execute.
