There's also Outright.com, I believe they have Yodlee integration as well too. They're also free for any size account :-)
I also believe they have a rest-based oauth 2.0 api in there as well.

Outright doesn't (or didn't seem to, when I tried it out a month or two back) support auto import of bank transactions. So it could handle credit card transactions but you had to enter all of your deposit account data manually. Dealbreaker.

I think that's what Yodlee is for right? Yodlee is what mint.com also used for their integrations with FIs.

Hey Joe,
Yup, Quickbooks is the 500lb gorilla we're going up against. Ends up that accountants we've been talking to want to get their clients onto inDinero, then export that data into QuickBooks. Especially bookkeepers, since they don't have to do as much bookkeeping and data entry anymore.
Uphill battle, here we come.
It's a huge market, but I think you've got an uphill battle. Quickbooks is so entrenched...I tried really hard to avoid it, but it does damned near everything, every accountant knows it, every tax preparer knows it, every bank exports for it, and it's cheap compared to all of the existing online double-entry products ($100 per year vs. insanely expensive monthly rates for everything I could find; I'm still using the 2009 edition so technically it's getting cheaper by the day). In the past, I didn't have a Windows box handy (Linux is my primary desktop/laptop OS and has been for a dozen years), and so I went to great lengths to deal with alternatives, like running my own SQL Ledger installation. But, now that I have a Windows partition on both machines, Quickbooks isn't a hardship.
But, given that Quickbooks requires me to babysit the transaction imports, and I only do that once every couple of months, having an automatic snapshot of all of our accounts would be awesome.
