  • Quicken 2018 for Mac debuts, switches to subscription-only model

    Quicken on Monday released the 2018 Mac edition of its personal finance software, making upgrades in areas like bill payments and investments, but primarily transitioning to a subscription-only model with Starter, Deluxe, and Premier packages.

    And with that... I am now officially an ex-Quicken user. 

    Quicken on the Mac was a disaster when I last used it.  It's one of the primary reasons I still run Windows on my Mac.  Quicken 2016 and Quicken 2017 left my online banking interface inoperable so I do all my reconciliations manually, and don't even bother updating my investment accounts.

    Even though I already subscribe to Adobe CC (photography) and Office 365, there is no way in hell I'm going to do that with Quicken.  I will keep Quicken and Quickbooks running forever on its current state as a virtual machine and be done with it.  Time to look elsewhere.

    I've been using Quicken since Windows 3.1 days... Buh bye...

    I suppose it would be interesting to place a short position on Quicken.  I think they're going to tank.

    Don't bother selling Intuit, the company that USED to own Quicken. Intuit sold both the Mac and Windows versions to a private company.
