Last month, Wesabe announced that it was discontinuing its personal finance tools at the end of this month. Iron Money is a personal finance web app similar to Wesabe (although not as full-featured). I think that Iron Money might be a good fit for some Wesabe users, especially if you manually uploaded your files and/or used Wesabe for iPhone.
Iron Money has supported Wesabe’s CSV and Excel files for a while; today I’m adding support for Wesabe’s JSON files (found in Wesabe’s snapshot file) and more robust support for Wesabe’s CSV and Excel files.
Iron Money will now put any tags from Wesabe into a transaction’s description. Coupled with Iron Money’s robust transaction search, you’ll be able to search through tagged transactions. For example, you can search for “#dining” to find transactions tagged with a “dining” tag.
Wesabe has also started to make its source code available. Provided that they release the source code for their automatic updater and it can be used with Iron Money’s existing infrastructure, I intend to actively participate in the further development of Wesabe’s automatic updater. I don’t expect to actively work on this until next year, but I want to show my support for an open source version of Wesabe’s automatic updater.
I encourage you to join the thousands of others that have signed up for Iron Money and let me know if you have any feedback, especially regarding the new importers for Wesabe data.
