    I switched from YNAB to buckets when they got rid of the grandfathered rate for YNAB. I am happy with buckets so far but I will likely look for another option when I start merging finances with my significant other.

    Buckets works really well for my current use-case which is sitting down at my computer once every week or two to manually enter my expenses and adjust my budget. This is pretty much how I used YNAB4 and the web version of YNAB, other than occasionally using the mobile app, so I never really took advantage of all of the web YNAB features anyway. I have not tried the Buckets capability to sync with accounts automatically and I have not tried to sync my Buckets file between multiple computers.

    Also, the import tool for Buckets worked great so I was able to keep most of my history. They have a free trial so there is nothing to lose in checking it out. I think they just put a $5 monthly savings for the license into your budget until you buy it.
