Alternatives to Quicken
Posted on 10/12/2022 4:38:44 PM PDT by paladinkc
My step mom uses quicken to do her finances with, but is getting tired of the continual price increases, I was hoping folks that do their own finances might know of software that works for windows format that isn't outrageous. I use Excel myself, but apparently she want's something a bit more user friendly

Many financial institutions offer an on-line tool that is automatically linked to the bank accounts. Your mother should check her bank's website to see if they have any money management tool offerings. They are usually free.

ACEMoney is good, but best for personal finances. Buy it once and done.

97 cents. Good for several years.

I have been quicken user for more decades than I can count. Probably 40 years. The new membership route is disappointing to me because I would go five years without buying an update. However the quality of the Quicken software is the best it’s ever been and has improved greatly ever since the annual membership started. I was looking for substitutes 4 to 5 years ago when the memberships were starting and could not find anything that came close. For example, at its most basic level, quicken is my check writing software. I cannot find another software that will do that. And I do still write checks and will continue to.

I have been using Money Manager Ex for years. It is not as bloated as Quicken and it is free for home use. It works on Windows and Linux.

Microsoft Money is quite good for those with uncomplicated tracking needs.I suspect you can still get it on ebay (most likely really cheap) and it only works on Windows machines.
To: paladinkc
Older versions of Quicken are standalone software you bought and owned, not a subscription service. They still work fine.

What does it do everything else that Quicken does, including tracking my investments and my charge cards and my properties and my stocks?

😄 I hate making mistakes.

Here is a link to the GnuCash user manual. Gives an overview of what it does.
