mpower is a private label service and not available to the direct public.
The problem with mint and the many other competitors is that they are unresponsive to customers and slow to add banks/institutions. Take a look at the forums and you will see how longs its been since many of the services have been actively responding.
For example, pageonce is a nicer solution but they have stated that they add banks by popularity and so 2 of my institutions have little chance of being added. As a result, there is no value to using their product. Something they just dont get.
I have looked at them all, and I would recommend staying with mint. Dont waste time on any others.
Great update, Matt. I am using Mint and am very impressed. We recently changed banks and Mint alerted me that a fee had been assessed (inappropriately!) that we wouldn’t have caught until much later (or maybe never since it was on my wife’s account and sometimes she overlooks such details.)
Thanks, Matt. I’m signed up with Mint and, just today before seeing your message, I was asking myself why I don’t utilize the power of Mint to get on top of our family spending. So, your article was a good “kick in the pants” to review the site, its changes and how to utilize them.

Have you looked at inoutcash.com yet? It’s also a new free service just introduced at Demo Spring 2010. Saw it on Netbanker.com
