I am an Accountant who has been a Quicken user for decades...
Last week I spent HOURS on the phone with Quicken support and a financial institution trying to resolve connectivity issues..
While everyone is nice, they don't seem to understand the product or it use.
I'm looking for an alternative

That's why I don't call "Customer Support."

Jerry : I switched to Check Book by Splasm Software in 2019, I don't know if you can link to your bank or not since I just use to keep track on my end . Works great!!
The reason I switched was my Old 2008 version would not load on my new computer and I didn't like the price of the new version .

Thanks. I'll take a look at that.
EDIT: $14.95?! A one-time payment?! Wow!

Luckily, Quicken sent me a notice telling me that ... (show quote)
I’m still using Quicken 2015, after that the went to subscription and I just kept my old version. I get notices from Quicken every few months or so asking me to upgrade but I just trash the notices. Version 2015 keeps working on my iMac running the latest version of the OS.

I'm happy as long as my Quicken 2007 doesn't quit.
(I would just reload it...)
Same reason, don't need any "improvements".

Great minds think alike. As long as 2011 will install, I’ll be a happy (mostly) camper.

$60 single payment
The price doubled since 2019 - https://lendedu.com/blog/moneyspire-review/
Well, it looks like they have two versions, and the unlimited is $60.

I have used Quicken since Moby Dick was a minnow. The only reason I pay them is because they will download and categorize transactions from my credit card company and I don't have to enter the transactions by hand. I have no need for the constant updates they keep sending. If some other software would download my card transactions I would change in a flash.

I've never liked the idea of connecting directly and downloading transactions. I prefer to enter the transactions myself. I use only two credit cards - Sam's and Amazon - and each one tells me when a charge has been made. Does the bank decide on a Category for the charge?

It would not surprise me if the increase all goes to a woke joke.
