YNAB

While Mint showed you where your money went after you spent it, YNAB uses the zero-based budgeting system to assign every dollar a "job." That can be more helpful if you're focusing on future spending. While it is a paid service, YNAB claims the average user can save $600 in the first two months and $6,000 in the first year.

Empower.me

Both a budgeting and investing tool, Empower has several free features, like being able to track spending and view your net worth. If you want to use their investment management service, you'll have to pay a percentage of the funds being managed. While Mint allowed you to connect investment accounts to track your net worth, there wasn't any way to manage those accounts.
