Each tier scales up included features. The Starter package is aimed at 'short-term financial goals,' while Deluxe offers a more conventional featureset. Premier, finally, lets people 'maximize.investments by improving portfolio performance and minimizing taxes,' said. A Home, Business & Rental Property subscription is reserved for Windows users.

Investment functions offer specific lot tracking and a customizable portfolio view, while loan tracking has been expanded with things like 'what if' scenarios.

In the age of online banking, who still buys programs like Quicken? $35/year or more?

I been using Quicken since I had a Tandy 1000 HX computer which must have been around 1989. I do NOT like the subscription software model. I typically use the same version for several years until OS upgrades render it unusable. The subscription software model forces me to pay for an upgrade that is unnecessary. As such, I'll continue to use my current version of Quick for Mac as long as it functions.

After that, I'll probably no longer be a Quicken user. One frustrating part is that I have decades of financial information stored in Quicken that can be difficult or impossible to transfer elsewhere. In the age of online banking, who still buys programs like Quicken? $35/year or more? Online banking doesn't obsolete personal finance. If anything, the two work well together.

That said, Quicken, especially on the Mac has been horrible for many years now. I've long since switched to what is now Banktivity (formerly iBank). It's great and far better than Quicken ever was. Then you have never tried the newer Quicken versions, especially Quicken 2017. And as for the loathing of subscription apps, they’re not going away. For many people they make sense rather than buying a newer version every year. Maybe not for those whose try to keep old versions forever and then bitch when some macOS update kills it.

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. The last several versions - ok, all of the Quicken versions for Mac - have gotten pretty negative reviews, and the previous version was $75 with not trial option. At least the subscription lets you try it for $35. That said, I agree that the subscription model is annoying. I used an older version of Quicken for years and never upgraded because the new versions offered nothing that I needed.

I ditched Quicken years ago and have been using Moneydance. More features, works well, great support. Good upgrade policy.

The only drawback is there's no iPad version available. Banktivity and Moneywiz are also frequently mentioned as solid apps. Unfortunately, many of the personal finance apps now charge ongoing fees for online access, so it amounts to the same thing as an app subscription. I'm not certain, but I believe part of it may have to do with fees that financial institutions charge for online access.

I suppose it would be interesting to place a short position on Quicken. I think they're going to tank. Then explain why my “online banking interface” is operating perfectly with quicken 2017. Bank checking and saving accounts, credit cards, My Stifel Nicolaus IRA and investment accounts all update regularly without issue. I use the auto-reconciliation feature all the time. As the banks and credit card companies change their security requirements for login it’s a simple matter to update those requirements in Q2017. Oh, and bill pay works too.
