I'm really interested in using envelope budgeting. Currently, i'm using Mint but it doesn't seem to work well as a budgeting tool. Tried Yodlee, too, it's a bit better than Mint that it can access phone/electrical bill etc but it is still lacking with the budgeting aspect. Has anyone tried the Mvelope software or can recommend good envelope budgeting softwares? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

I'll look up Moneywell and Squirrel, thanks.
Do both require that you manually download transactions from your accounts? Or does it access them like Mint or Yodlee does?
Have anyone tried Fortora Fresh Finance?
Anyone tried Mvelopes (just found out it's web-based)?

There's also the Easy Envelope Budget Aid (EEBA). Web-based like Mint.com (plus mobile Web and Android device support for now), but unlike Mint, it's based on the envelope method of budgeting.
Using the mobile Web site or an Android device, you can check balances and record transactions at the point-of-sale, closely approximating the true cash envelope system.

I have been using mvelopes for about 2 years. It is a great service, that does everything I want in an envelope budget system with three drawbacks. First, it is flash based and very slow. Second, It often has difficulty with consistent bank information downloads. I have many times found duplicate entries and had to reenter my bank information. Lastly, it is expensive for what it is.
If mvelopes was trying to update their software, creating full featured mobile applications etc. I would buy stock in the company, but right now they are just sitting still. My subscription ends in March, and I am, like you, searching for a replacement.
looks nice, but adobe air has the same difficulty as flash, which is it is not usable on an iphone or the future ipad. Since I do 50% of my work on this platform, especially, when I am on the road this probably isn't the best option, for me.
Thanks for the suggestion though
the ynab app is out but expensive. 9.99

still i wonder if it does envelope budgeting well. for alll we know it ends up like quicken who serves to be more generic rather than be a niche budgeting app.
