2 of 5

Our top pick

• Send feedback to Money Magazine

Mint.com

What it tracks: Bank accounts, credit cards, investments, loans

Ease of use: Most inviting layout of the bunch, with many ways to display info graphically

What's best: Its investment tools are comprehensive, letting you compare your personal rate of return with major indexes and see your asset allocation.

What's worst: Mint gives "ways to save" with special credit-card and bank offers, but this is mostly thinly veiled advertising.

The bottom line: With its extensive investment abilities, this Web site edges out MoneyCenter to be our top pick.

Rating: ★★★★

NEXT: Most comprehensive
