Why is this superior or YNAB or Mint, or any of the online services that I can connect to from my phone? What problem does your service solve?

If I can use the software to connect to my bank, how can I be sure its not running behind the scenes doing malicious things? How do I know an external service can't connect to my computer through your program? Or worse, connect to my bank through your program.

Also, the supported institutions search is fairly unhelpful.

I would say that Moneyspire is superior because it's a full desktop app, and similar to Quicken. So it has a lot of power and speed, and the workflow is just better. We also provide an optional Cloud service so you can share your data with your other computers and mobile devices (iOS, Android coming soon). Also, you can keep your data local if you would like since Cloud is optional. The software securely connects to your bank through our partnership with Yodlee (one of the biggest and oldest financial aggregators) - everything is handled securely through their service, and we never get any of your usernames or passwords.

Thank you for your feedback on the bank search on our website (we're working on improving that).
