manilla

Couple of days back I started using manilla service on Aparna's recommendation. I have to say I'm already liking it a lot.

I feel manilla is similar to mint.com in some ways but different in others. For example, like Mint, manilla can show you the balances on your credit cards but unlike Mint, it doesn't show you all the transactions on the cards (at least for now). Moreover, manilla allows us to add our travel accounts such as Delta Skymiles, Avis, Marriot Rewards etc. giving us one dashboard showing the points on these accounts. And there is much more.

Before I start using a service of this kind I generally do a bit of research. So browsing around, I found good reviews about the company and its service. For other skeptics like me, here is what the media is saying about manilla:

The New York Times: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/28/manilla-hopes-to-organize-household-bills-and-finances/

The Wall Street Journal: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/02/28/hearst-launches-dashboard-for-the-home/

It took only a few minutes for me to set it up with most of my accounts and now I have one place to go look at. Try it out if you like, its free.
