Tell HN: YNAB will partly remove direct bank imports

It was a bummer to me that the famous budget app YNAB announced in a private in-app message that the direct bank data import will be removed. The reason is that they use TrueLayer as an immediate platform as data provider. TrueLayer implements bank interfaces with the status of "private beta", "public beta" and "GA". YNAB now stops supporting "private beta" banks yet charging the full price for a reduced product feature portfolio. I was talking to the Manager of Direct Import at YNAB, asking her about compensation or whitelist working "private beta" banks. Here's her statement: > I am genuinely sorry this change impacts you. We don't have a way to make an exception. And we don't offer discounts on our subscription price. We will support your bank again when TrueLayer moves it to the public beta phase. I'm hopeful that the success you experienced with your bank means they are close to making that change but we don't have a timeline. In the meantime, there's nothing more I can do. It's really sad to see such a great doing company making that bad decision, removing vital features and still charge the full price. Are there any good ynab alternatives?
