Recent reviews from real Tiller customers
“Tiller has been a great tool for managing our family’s finances. Having data available in a Google Sheet provides a good base for creating custom reports and tools and some of the community developed extensions, especially the budgeting tools, makes planning much easier.”
“I used Mint for 7 years. I wish I had switched to Tiller much sooner. I have my own Excel budget I incorporated into Mint. It is customized to my needs, and I was worried about porting it to a new program. With Tiller I was able to port it over in 2 hours. I am amazed at the difference in the time savings required to maintain my accounts between Tiller and Mint “
“Tiller helps me understand my finances with two valuable contributions: getting data from many banks into a spreadsheet, and a community of people enthusiastic for helping each other make better financial decisions with spreadsheets. Having all my data in a highly flexible system I control is much more to my liking than Mint and CountAbout.”
“Tiller allows me to manage my finances in a novel way using spreadsheets. The automatic categorizing feature is very robust. The monthly and yearly budgeting is a marked improvement over Mint. I love the familiarity and power of manipulating Google Sheets.”
“Over many years I’ve used just about every tool available to aggregate and track accounts, but always maintained a spreadsheet copy, since spreadsheets were more flexible with robust reporting. Tiller now makes this seamless and much easier. As I learn about Tiller and investigate new add-ons, I’m also finding more and more flexibility in monitoring accounts.”
“Mint is shutting down, fortunately Tiller is a million times better. It’s the best budgeting app by far. The community has created many templates so I can do envelope budgets, net worth, retirement planning, and any kind of reporting I want. I can do everything I ever did with Mint and much more. Lastly, the customer service is excellent. When I have a question I get an answer!”
“Mint refugee and man do I wish I had known about Tiller sooner. I’ve been able to completely automate so many things I was doing manually before. I now have so much control and can change the way things work to fit my specific financial situation perfectly. As a programmer I love how much power I have now compared to Mint.”
“Tiller has been a wonderful tool to find out where our money is actually going. The next step will be to plan a budget. The support and documentation is outstanding. The Tiller help and Tiller community is robust! I’m very happy with this product and encourage you to try it!”
“I’ve been testing Tiller and so far I’m very impressed. The transaction table is easier to filter and customize than other applications and so is setting up transaction Categories/Groups. There are numerous templates available (I especially like the Category Rollup). I also like that every morning Tiller sends an email of transactions that have occurred in the previous 24 hours.”

“Awesome tool, templates, and community. Very powerful if you’re looking for more flexibility, automation, and customization than apps like Mint.”
“Big fan of Tiller! The ease of use and flexibility are just two of the many great things that allow my family to better understand our finances.”
“Absolutely love Tiller. Tiller lets me run my own numbers how I need them, with great templates and a supportive community. Finally, something that just WORKS!”
“Finally, I can use some real reporting on my finances. All the other apps I’ve used are too simple or I can’t customize to see what I want. So thankful for Tiller.”
“Overall the best combination of adjustable, editable, and automated! I’ve tried different apps, and Tiller is the best if you want to customize based on your needs.”
“I can’t imagine life without Tiller. The monthly and yearly budgets are clear and easy to use. There’s also a rich library of add-on templates and active community.”
“As someone with ADHD who has struggled to get a handle on my finances for years… (actually decades…), Tiller is a lifesaver! Thank you Tiller Team!”
“I’ve been using TiIler for a few years. It’s an excellent financial tool! Tiller has templates for just about every need. And you can customize it to fit your situation. Tiller does a great job listening to its users and continually improving its functionality.”
“Perfect for my control freak mind. I’ve used so many other ways to bookkeep as a freelancer and budget for my family. I love how Tiller is so customizable and flexible. They keep adding features and it keeps getting better! No more QuickBooks!”
“The best option for tracking budgets and transactions without sacrificing personal data. The annual subscription is worth it to get rid of services that are harvesting my data – even if they provide a free service.”
“Best financial management and budgeting tool…Specifically awesome customer support and amazing community they built around the tools and community plugins takes this product to another level . Overall very happy with Tiller.”
if you do any of your finance stuff in a spreadsheet this is the tool for you. Goodbye Mint after years of non-development, this is a better product with waaaaay more uses. Great work TIller team!”
“I was using basic Excel spreadsheets for years to budget and track my financial health – and that was work. Then I found Tiller. This tool is fabulous. Makes it easy to consolidate all my accounts and regularly review my financial health. Actually makes it easier to review and discuss finances with my spouse Great tool!
“As someone who prefers the flexibility of a spreadsheet, Tiller was the answer to years of prayers! Its capabilities in addition to the active community working on new and innovative add-ons have been a great experience!”
“I was a Quicken user and also a Google Sheets fan. Tiller is the best of both worlds. AutoCat rocks for simply categorizing everything. Tiller matches my needs exactly. I could do a LOT more with it if I wanted, but I am happy for what I need.”
“I had been a long-time YNAB user but did not like their strict budgeting principles. Tiller is very flexible and easy to use. I also love I can easily have multiple workbooks – one for my monthly budget and another for net worth tracking.”
“Excellent for personal finance. The augmenting spreadsheets approach is really interesting because you can customize the spreadsheet to what you need.”
“I’ve been using Tiller since 2018, it makes maintaining budgets with my own spreadsheets so simple, I can’t imagine going back to the old way of downloading all transactions. I strongly recommend giving it a try!”
“I can’t imagine life without Tiller. The built-in reports for monthly and year budgeting are clear and easy to use, and the fact that Tiller integrates with Google Sheets means that it’s really easy to do custom analysis using pivot tables and the like.”
“Prior to Tiller, I used Mint, and I love the flexibility of Tiller far more. I appreciate the daily emails. My favorite part is making my own categories and groups. I don’t have to keep ‘mandatory’ categories that I don’t use. Having no ads is a major plus. I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like the box Mint puts you in.”
“So glad I found Tiller! I’ve used so many financial applications over the years – dating back MS Money. I love the flexibility and control Tiller allows. I am not a sophisticated spreadsheet person but am learning with Tiller’s helpful materials. Their customer service has been wonderful. Looking forward to using Tiller for years to come!
“Tiller beats Quicken hands-down and allows me to customize my data my way. I highly recommend Tiller, whether you’re a hard-core spreadsheet DIY’er or just getting started looking for a way to organize your finances. You won’t regret it.”
“If you are a person who constantly wonders where your money is going, Tiller is absolutely the tool for you. I truly don’t believe I would’ve turned my financial situation around without it.”
“I’ve been looking for a replacement for Quicken for years, and I’ve finally found it. Tiller Quicken hands-down, and allows me to customize my data my way. Plus, it has never “magically” corrupted or closed my accounts, or just randomly stopped working, the way Quicken always did. I highly recommend Tiller, whether you’re a hard-core spreadsheet DIY’er or just getting started looking for a way to organize your finances. You won’t regret it.”
“Tiller has become my standard method for managing personal finances. I love the freedom of having all of my data available for custom analysis & reporting.”
“I can’t say enough good things about the Tiller support – they are responsive, and they don’t just send a canned response as does Google, Gannett, Microsoft, and other giant institutions I deal with. The Tiller team members I’ve interacted with listen, investigate, and update me regularly on any issues. That alone is worth the price of subscribing :-)”
“This is the best solution if you share your finances with your spouse/significant other. All other solutions require sharing of passwords and other nonsense. Tiller allows you to share the document via google drive. Super easy.”
“All the other apps just weren’t cutting it for me. Needed something I could customize and dig into, with the support of really strong templates and an incredible community. I love this Tiller.”
“Tiller is the best tool I’ve found to track our finances. I’ve used Mint and Personal Capital for years but I found their Categorization tools to be lacking basic features. Tiller’s categorization tool is the best I’ve seen. It allows me to consistently categorize transactions based on any part of the description downloaded from the bank. Neither Mint nor Personal Capital can do this.”
“This is my favorite tool for tracking expenses across categories and accounts and managing a realistic budget. It’s very customizable (including community add-ons). All data and insights are presented in spreadsheets so you can sort, pivot, plot, etc. as your situation demands rather than being locked into the capabilities that some software developer *guessed* would best fit your use case.”
“As a spreadsheet nerd, this is exactly what I was looking for; a way to pull my data into a spreadsheet and start with a template but then customize it as I see fit. I started using Tiller when the Excel version was still in beta, so learned to use Google Sheets, which was pretty seamless if you are comfortable with Excel. Now that Excel has additional Tiller support, I might go back and try that in the future, but frankly the Google Sheet works fine.
“I’m a tech writer/usability analyst for a living and when looking for a financial app (mostly for watching cash flow) I wanted something easy to set up and view, but also something I could customize as I get more into tracking/budgeting over time. I’d call myself an “intermediate beginner” at Google Sheets. Tiller has been PERFECT for me. I love getting an immediate view into the details of my data with Tiller”

“I love Tiller. Quicken did not provide reporting and monitoring in the format and structure I wanted, so my workflow involved exporting data and then manually merging it into my own custom spreadsheet for reporting and analysis. I looked for more efficient alternatives, but none had what I needed. Once I tried Tiller the search was over. Their support is awesome also. Always helpful, very knowledgeable, and a consistent support crew…I still see many of the same names after ~3 years.”
“One of the best personal investments we made as a family. Having deep insights into my finances has proved invaluable in making new purchase decisions and planning for the future. The ability to segregate assets (cash, investments, etc) and liability (credit-card, loans, and mortgages) by grouping them is very helpful. Similarly, I can easily group expenses into groups which helps me see a nuanced picture of our finances. This is by far the most useful implementation of personal fintech service.”
“This is 100% worth the money. I have connected all my accounts and can track all my spending and saving exactly the way I want it. Setup was easy, and it takes no time or effort to keep track. I love not being limited to an app. They offer a free trial and make sure to alert you before they charge your card. So if you’re on the fence, try it out.”
“I was using Mint but wasn’t really happy with it and started looking for other options. That’s when I found Tiller and I’m glad I did. Keep up the good work.”
“I’ve used Tiller for a few years and it’s indispensable for my budgeting workflow. I like working in Google Sheets to see my numbers and this is the perfect solution to move things beyond manual tracking.”
“I know a lot of people love how versatile and customizable Tiller is, but I like it for the opposite… It can be extremely simple. It’s a spreadsheet, it downloads my data, and if I need to dig/filter/sort/chart anything, I can do that.”
“I am a CFO with 30 years of small business experience and have always struggled with available tools to manage my personal finances. This is easily the best tool I have used. It marries the flexibility of spreadsheets with automated bank feeds. Best of both worlds.”
“Great app. Works very well, tech support is top-notch. Quick replies if have any questions and a great community support forum as well. Software made a huge impact on my overall financial picture. Once I got it up and running, it’s very simple to use.”
“I absolutely LOVE Tiller! I’ve tried so many other tools (all the major ones) but year after year I kept coming back to my own Google Sheet I’ve used for over a decade. I can’t believe that now there’s something that combines the best of both worlds!! It’s perfect.”
“I have used a bunch of tools in the past and none compare to the flexibility and customization of Tiller!”
“A great tool to automate your financial life. Support is also top-notch!”
“This has been a great tool for tracking all my accounts in one place. I honestly do not know how I went without it for so long.”

“I have fine-tuned my expense budget categories over time, allowing me to have better control over my cash flow. The Monthly and Yearly Budget and Actual spreadsheet tabs give a ready view of monthly and yearly cash flows.
The process is quick and works my way.

“We use Tiller to manage our family’s finances including budgeting, tracking investments, managing taxes, and organizing savings into project funds.
We’ve been using Tiller for over 3 years and have loved every minute of it! Tiller gives us the power to make financial decisions in a data-driven way and constant peace of mind by having an up to date financial snapshot.”

“This app is incredibly streamlined and by far the most flexible tool out there. I wasn’t happy with any of the big-name alternatives, and this gave me exactly what I want. Features, design, support, documentation, everything. Bravo.”
“Love this tool – it took some getting used to using Sheets, having spent many years as Excel user, however, the tutorials, simplicity, intuitive nature of using Tiller more than makes up for learning a new spreadsheet tool. I’ve also created a sheet for college funding, insurance calculations, and more, to utilize my current data. Very useful. I also LOVE the daily updates from my accounts, seeing what was charged recently. I keep on top of any nefarious charges. Great tool!”
“Seamless integration with lots of international banks from around the world. With constant improvements and input from the community this is an ever-changing product that adapts to the needs of the userbase.”
“Best personal finance tool I have found, after trying many. It fully integrates with your spreadsheets, giving you control over how to manage and present the data. Easy to update and link accounts. Works consistently. This app has helped me finally stick to a budget and add save with consistency.”
“Tiller has helped my clients stay organized, and helped me build better and more suitable financial plans by finally understanding where their cash flow it going. In fact, I was so impressed with it, that I’m now also an avid user of Tiller for my own household.”
“This useful platform encapsulates your entire financial life in a Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that’s updated daily… helps you see what you can cut back to make headway on debt.”
“The point is that it’s flexible: You can create your own budget, or use Tiller’s templates. How you structure them and what categories you designate is up to you and your partner.”
