Yeah, it’s a lot of work. I used to manually budget with Google Spreadsheets but eventually threw in the towel and gave into Mint. I still have to go in and manually change certain categories or add tags, but it’s way less work than what I was doing before.

An alternative that isn't as scummy a company as Intuit is https://www.youneedabudget.com/
I'm sure this is less scummy than Intuit Mint but I did not like having to browse around for a good while to find a link to their pricing page - even though it is just at the standard url.tld/pricing[1]. Companies that push their 'free trial' without readily mentioning what their product will cost when the trial runs out annoy me.

$15/month is a lot amount of money in my country.

I use Money for Excel. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/06/1...

I found it easier to manage personal finances in a spreadsheet.

Interesting, feels like they picked up on startups like Tiller ( https://www.tillerhq.com/ )
