![]() ![]() This product seriously sucks for the price. But I've now invested dozens of hours into categorizing and organizing my financial data and don't have time to start over. If there were any better alternative, I would use it in a heartbeat. I now have to categorize all income as a "paycheck" to get the budget to work properly. It lets you select these categories, yet they appear NOWHERE in the budget. Except I can't include transfers or any personal income other than my paycheck in the budget. Only one month of budgeting allowed at a time and only one type of budget. It allows you to "name" a budget, implying that you can have more than one budget. ![]() Quicken doesn't allow you to see investment transactions, which it used to do (throttling).Īlso the budgets don't work properly. I cannot link my Edward Jones account at all. They should simply worked, as they worked before and now they don't. I have already categorized all of the transactions and am not going to start over for just two accounts. Online balances are inaccurate for two of the accounts. So I simply use the web version, which is extremely glitchy. You’ll need to sign up for an account to do any of this, of course, but that takes mere moments as indeed does syncing the application with your bank accounts.I am on a network drive, so I chalked it up to compatibility problems. This is especially so when it comes to paying bills on time. The bill paying option, for example, is a great way of streamlining your outgoings, but we’re also very keen on the alert tools that really do allow you to get your finances in line and keep them that way. However, others areas of Quicken are designed with total efficiency in mind, and this works particularly well for the extra touches you get in the Premier edition and upwards. While usability is generally pretty good, you’ll need to devote some quality time to Quicken in order to shape it to perform as you’d expect. While we do like the multiple options for customization in Quicken, there is a slight downside to this as it can be finicky to get things just how you like them. Quicken has a powerful set of tools though you'll need to spend time learning the ropes (Image credit: Intuit) Ease of use Of course, once you’ve got a lot of your data into Quicken the processes involved in managing your money gets easier. For newbies there is also a neat Wizard-style system that will help you pick your way through getting set up. You’ll begin your financial journey on the Home tab, which delivers a comprehensive snapshot of where you are with your finances. You’ll find that it works better on that platform now, more so than it used to, while all users can enjoy the benefits of the familiar-but-friendly interface. The most recent update of Quicken resulted in a few handy new features being added, with some real benefits coming along in the Mac version. Nevertheless, Quicken comes in with a reasonably attractive pricing structure, even if you’re considering the product at its more normal cost. You should also note, however, that while the prices were accurate at the time of writing they may well change as per all of our other software reviews. On top of that there’s a Home and Business Version for $59.99 instead of the regular $99.99 asking price.Īll of these prices are based on an annual subscription, which could make the package pricey over time. Meanwhile, a Premier edition is available for $44.99 compared to its usual price of $74.99. ![]() Quicken comes in a variety of different guises to suit different budgets (Image credit: Intuit)Ĭurrently prices for Quicken Starter kick off at $34.99 for a year, with a Deluxe version currently on offer for $29.99, down from $49.99. ![]()
