Quicken Starter Personal Finance – Start taking control of your money – 1-Year Subscription (Windows/Mac)

Quicken use to not be subscription but they have become greedy like other software vendors. I used to buy the software and it was good for at least 3 years before you had to update to a later version which made it more economical to purchase. Now they hit you with a $35 to $45 yearly subscription and if you dont re-subscribed they cut off your bank downloads.

Be advised that if you purchase the Starter edition as I did and you discover that you need features only available in the Premier edition, you will need to have chosen a Data File Password in the Starter edition before you upgrade. If you dont do this the Premier edition will ask for a Data File Password before it can open the file set up in the Starter edition. Live tech support could not solve this problem. Quicken web support states that you can click on the Forgot My Password button and you can get a code to create the Data File Password. However, the button leads nowhere and you are stuck with no resolution. I was able to load an earlier back up file where I could create the Data File Password but had to re-enter a years data. Very frustrating that tech support could not help. Otherwise I am very pleased with how the program allows easy entry of data and has good reporting features. I will continue to use it for now even though I will have to pay for it annually.

I thought I was buying a permanent checkbook program. Instead, I received a one year subscription.

Works great a very good product I will probably up next year

I am used to this particular banking software. I don’t like that you have to pay for it every year but that seems to be the trend. It works well for me

This company is trying to get to a full subscription model -- they are working with banks to ensure that banks only keep 90 days of transactions available online. You need to use Quicken to download the complete historical record of your transactions. What a complete shakedown. Then there is the whole issue of version and password which is horribly broken in bizarrely confusing ways. Do everything you can to avoid this product.

Bought the software, did not like it so returned it. Have proof of delivery and requested refund 3 times but still waiting.

A company that cares more about greed than customer relations. I am unable to access financial information from 2020 because I have a 2017 version of Quicken. The only way to access my own information is to purchase an update. Earlier versions of Quicken would allow you to continue to use their software. While they are capable of allowing for a one time purchase, they opt to not only make you purchase yearly subscriptions, they also do not allow you access to backed up files unless you purchase an update. Just sleezy and greedy.

I ran a business with the original Quicken before the cloud. I didnt like the idea that the files were not on my computer with the cloud.So I made other arrangements. in 2022 I figured that I would try it again and loaded a few accounts. Then I tried to access Quicken from a different computer. I saw a screen that blocked me unless I agreed to renew for another year when I still had 9 months of paid service coming SCAM? maybe. But, when I want to access my accounts, I want access, not a strong arm attempt to rope me in.

I have been using Quicken (Intuit), for years. I purchased 2020 back in Nov. I was using Home and Business - but since their subscription ran out, Which I never used - now I cant use it at all. 25% of the screen is a renewl box that wont close unless you pay them for the use. I called and spoke with a no english person - said he could take care of it very quickly and I could start using Quicken - at 103.00 per year. I explained to the rep that I have macular degeneration in both eyes, and the ir box was taking up my space/ I have a 36 in. monitor and still have to blow everything up by 250% rto be able to add. This should be against the law to force people to use your products, and if you dont pay their fine. Maybe I should hire a lawyer for discrimanation and disabled blind person. Guess scam artist are all over - but big companies like Quicken get by with it.
