Quicken Kathryn, Official Rep wrote:Official Response But not at $89.99/year, and especially not when users cannot even enter new transactions if they stop paying the subscription fee. I probably would have purchased it again. That works out to slightly more than $2/month.

Say the old version was $75 to download and lasted 3 years before it could not be used to d/l banking transactions or update stock prices.

It does bring up the issue of what would be a fair price for an ongoing download or software as a service. After I went to the site and did not buy they are offering me 40% off on the US product. Yeah, before they were showing me list prices. I can live without knowing every transaction in my chequing or credit card accounts. Assuming I can still do it after April of this year, I will just enter my investment transactions manually, and update stock/etf/MF prices when I can. I've been a user in 1991, won't be paying for the new version. Surprisingly, the USA 'Premier' version is currently discounted by 40%! (US$65.99). The main thing I will miss is one-step update to keep stock prices up-to-date, but doubt if I will upgrade. I have 25 years of data in Quicken and my 2014 edition will probably expire this year. And it says you need at least Premier to track investments with the following features that Deluxe does not have: I don't see a $89.99 online price, but maybe it's discounted? I see Starter for $39.99, Deluxe for $79.99, Premier for $109.99 and Home & Business for $119.99. I enter all my own transactions, and only d/l transactions to verify with my own register entries. They have tripled the ongoing cost since the price is about the same but it's an annual subscription fee instead of a download you can use for 3 years (if you want to continue to d/l bank transactions).

While you can continue to access your data and run reports, you'll no longer be able to download transactions, or add manual transactions. I wonder if the user base can have any influence on getting this egregious change reversed? We need to make ourselves heard. Completely unacceptable doesn't fully express my frustration with this approach. Given the three year sunset rule that Quicken imposes for downloading transactions, it certainly looks like they've rigged the window to benefit themselves and harm their user base. I bet many people won't read the fine print and will be nailed by this extortion. Think long and hard before you pull the trigger on Q2017. So in 2018 you can't go back to an earlier version like 2016 or 2015 and manually update your data.

When you upgrade to 2017 your data gets converted. This breaks the trust between Quicken and its user base.īy subscribing to this new model you also consent to this new extortion racket. It effectively becomes a read-only snapshot of your data as of the date of expiration. Under this model your use of the product ends completely. Under the old model if you didn't want to upgrade you could continue to use Quicken manually.

I can understand that even if I don't like it. The $90/year subscription fee is a cash grab. You'll no longer have access to connected services, like the ability to download banking transactions or investment quotes, mobile access, or premium care. What happens to the program when access to Quicken Connected Services ends?Ī.
