Two weeks ago, we wrote about the first PFM in the class of 2010, HelloWallet. Now we have the second entrant: In & Out Cash Management Systems at <InOutCash.com> (press release). I had a first-hand look at the new program at the company’s booth at DEMOspring 2010 today in Palm Springs, CA. The company makes its debut tomorrow morning on the show stage (video will be released later this week).

The Yodlee-powered PFM concentrates on financial fitness with built-in coaching and a dashboard of ten financial-fitness measures, such as overall savings and credit limit utilization (see inset below).

Targeted to the younger, 18-to 35-year- old segment, the site includes social features and awards points based on taking positive financial steps and exhibiting fiscal responsibility. In the future, award points will be redeemable for various financial offers and merchandise discounts. A virtual game-like environment is also on the planning board.

The company behind the new service is Value-Centered Solutions, a 19-person, San Pablo, CA-based startup launched in 2006 by founder and CEO Michael E. Parker.

The company is planning a free ad-supported option, along with a $9.95/mo ad-free premium version.

Finally, InOutCash is being pitched as a money-making opportunity for those joining a separate $60/yr program at sister company, YouAreACEO.com (second screenshot).

My take: The product looks strong and the company has some novel ideas about social aspects, rewards, and monetization. But all the talk about the “business opportunity” takes away from the site’s focus on helping less-sophisticated users get a handle on their spending and debt. I’d like to see them ditch the make-money-fast piece and focus on building a solid Gen X/Y PFM.
