I have used Quicken Windows since is was Managing Your Money back in the DOS days.and of course moved up to the Windows version. OK, another long diatrabe post in response:įirst a bit of background. And I don't care because if IGG goes out of business, the software will still work. qfx file from the one bank that doesn't Direct Connect. They won't terminate downloads.because I use Direct Connect for all but one of my banks. See how they've got you over a barrel? And that's exactly why I purchased Banktivity. Otherwise, people like you and me will then pay $50 for Quicken Deluxe.which is $4.20 a month. Existing Quicken customers DON'T get that discount. That's now $2.50 a month.Īnd.here's the kicker.that 40% off? Oh, that's only for new users. Now, just doing an Amazon search today, there is NO Quicken product for download unless you go to the Quicken website.
I didn't activate that subscription until April 2020. I purchased a 27 month subscription to Quicken Deluxe on Amazon back in 2018 for $54. With Quicken's required login to verify that you have a valid subscription and it's renting servers from Intuit to aggregate transactions for downloads, Quicken could be hanging by a thread.Īnd now that everyone who is an 'active' user with Quicken is on the subscription version, what's to stop Quicken Inc from raising prices either gradually or drastically from renewal to renewal.Īctually, I've already seen it happening.
