They are a little different.

With Wesabe you download a desktop app, put you bank credentials into that, and then the desktop app uploads your data to the Wesabe site. With Mint you give their webapp your bank credentials and they store them on their server.

A big selling point for Wesabe is just that - they never store your banking credentials.
