Mac customers now have more options for Quicken versions for the first time with Starter, Deluxe, and Premier versions offered. Starter is priced from $34.99\/year, Deluxe from $49.99\/year, and Premier from $74.99\/year so Quicken customers on the Mac can now pick which version is best based on their needs.<\/p>\n

Quicken 2018 shifts the pricing scheme from paid annual upgrades to a new annual subscription plan. Year-long subscriptions are available online while two-year plans that include different price points (full prices below) are available through retail channels.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Quicken 2017<\/a> and 2015<\/a> were both $75 ($64.59 at Amazon<\/a>), with a $10<\/a> discount for upgrades. I’m not a Quicken user, and the different versions (some not available for Mac) are confusing enough that I’m not sure whether this is a price increase<\/a> or just a change in model.<\/p>\n

Like others, I’m annoyed with Quicken for forcing upgrades without delivering added value. Previously, they disallowed online access after three years. Now that have reduced that to ONE year. I’ve used Quicken since it came on 3.5 inch floppy disks (remember them?) but for a while now have been searching for an alternative on my Mac. Quite honestly, there isn’t anything that is as robust as Quicken for Windows - Mac included. I run a VM with Windows just for Quicken.<\/p>\n

I have grudgingly paid these guys every three years to keep my downloads working. All I have for this is a tweaked interface. With this model, they have tripled my cost.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
