I use mint.com, which is free and pretty amazing. It makes automatically tracks all of your credit card and bank account activity, creates useful and informative graphs, lets you set up budgets and notifications, and all around is fun to use. highly recommend.

It's awesome but it has stagnated and slowly started to go downhill since Intuit (the Quicken/Turbotax company) bought it. First there were no updates for a long time, and recently they FINALLY started changing things a little bit here and there.... those changes being more overt advertising, that is. :(

I wish the mint folks had never sold out. But you can't change the past, so now I just hope Intuit doesn't ruin it before the next personal finance tracking startup comes along to kick mint's ass so I have a replacement.

I've been using Mint.com since 2008, and just the other day I contemplated how astonishingly little it has changed since then. The "Investments" section is still as unusable as it was back then (personalcapital.com is running laps around it). I think the homepage/log in screen was redesigned, and as you said, more overt advertising was added. Maybe there were some backend changes, but as a customer, the lack of progress is staggering.
