Default Online Money Management

So, I've been using Quicken Online for quite a while and really like it, except that Intuit is closing it down and telling people to move over to Mint.com.

Mint.com is good for getting a financial snapshot and seeing where your money is going, but since it doesn't have scheduled transactions it doesn't have the key components that Quicken had for me: knowing how much I have until my next paycheck given my scheduled transactions, allowing me to do spend planning.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other online money management solutions?

I've been waiting for Mint to come to canada all this time and all I've had to do was enter a random zip code? I feel like a major tool right now.

It's great at giving you a snapshot of your finances and seeing where your money goes, but I'm not happy with the fact that I can't schedule transactions to know if I can actually afford something at a certain time.

I see your frustration. I use ING Direct to do my scheduled transactions, but I'm not sure it goes into the territory you want it to.

No, I mean you schedule things like mortgage payments, paychecks, insurance, etc.. things that come in/out at the same time every month or so, and add bills when they are due and then it tells you how much money you have until your next paycheck. It helps me figure out if I can afford four new tires (nope) before my next paycheck.

Quicken Online did that, but Mint doesn't have it yet, which is stupid because Mint is owned by Intuit now. They don't actually perform the transactions, but they're like reminders that things are coming up.

Also, I think Mint is a little too busy at the moment.
