[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/24327-Quicken/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/24327-Quicken/alternatives/) # Quicken User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 3.9/5 - Total reviews: 470 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.0/5 - Customer support: 3.5/5 - Value for money: 3.8/5 - Functionality: 3.9/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 191 reviews (41%) - 4 stars: 157 reviews (33%) - 3 stars: 55 reviews (12%) - 2 stars: 27 reviews (6%) - 1 star: 40 reviews (9%) ### Most mentioned pros - I like the integration of our bank accounts and ability to pay bills and look at payroll and other activities at very few key strokes. - It's a very comprehensive program for the value that you pay and is a great investment whether you work with an independent accountant, or reply on customer support to help guide you overt the bumps. - The categorization and reporting allows me to easily find past expenses, and finalize IRS tax preparation at a click of button! ### Most mentioned cons - Every time you add features the user interface becomes more cluttered and harder to find the features I do use. - Without a manual way to select, delete and match downloading transactions with those already entered into my desktop computer register, I can't routinely keep my account balanced. - I strongly dislike having to pay each year for use of software presumably because I get new features and updates. ## Quicken customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 470 (page 1). ### Best for Small Business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Patricia M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am very impressed and excited about using this tool. As a small business owner, it is very helpful for my operation #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros quicken is very secured and the customer support is top tier, it is what all small business operation needs to process payment #### Cons you can only access it online so if you are not connected, it can slow down the process of making payments --- ### Budgeting and bill payment - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Good. I use it everyday and find it very useful. I use it for day to day as well as monthly bill pay and budgeting. I use it on the business and professional level. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros That evening is organized,there are many options,categories and graphics showing your budget,balances etc. #### Cons Glitches. Sometimes, when there's an update, it does not automatically pull the data. I have found that happens and i dint enen know it. Updates from the bank or credit cards dont happen. This can be days weeks or months that you miss pending.On how much time has lapsed since you realized it.And then you have to put things in manually. #### Reasons for switching to Quicken Easier to use more seamless more customizable. --- ### 2 decade happy user - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bruce B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I’ve used for 20 years and would not change unless a better product comes along. I have not seen any better alternatives yet. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Daily updates of transactions and values gives me a good idea of my finances and give me peace of mind #### Cons Somewhat antiquated and website doesn’t work well. I still use the desktop application which works well but an online experience would be nice --- ### Quicken Review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: ERIN S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have no complaints about Quicken. It met our needs for a time. It was cost effective for what we needed it for. Thankfully I did not need any customer support, so I can't speak to that. Keepting track and records of the accounts was mostly intuitive and easy to navigate within the software. We are a small homeowner's association and don't need something too robust. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Data entry into Quicken feels pretty easy. I like the variety of reports that can be generated for various tracking of accounts. #### Cons Creating invoices felt like a very manual process and I didn't know how to easily roll over information from one year to another while also creating new invoices. --- ### Its okay but could be mucb better - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: LaDonna L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I like using Quicken instead of a check register, because it makes recording checks easier (autofill, recurring payments) and balancing the checking account faster. Would prefer to see Bills and Income separated out in the Tabs section, so it wouldn't take two clicks to find each. And when reconciling the account, it would be better to go to check register to add something without having to go back through the initial screen of entering the balance, etc. #### Cons I strongly dislike having to pay each year for use of software presumably because I get new features and updates. I don't use the new features you add. I don't use the majority of features that have existed in the product for many years. I don't rent my house, nor lease my car. I want to buy things once and use what I bought. Every time you add features the user interface becomes more cluttered and harder to find the features I do use. Frequently when you "update" the software, access to the features I use are found in different places in the interface. --- ### Super Useful for Family Finances & Budgets - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Raegan D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use Quicken to aggregate all my personal financial accounts so I can quickly work my family budget. I no longer have to log into several different sites to see current balances or recent transactions. I also like that you can manually add assets that are paid in full already to give true net worth estimates. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that I can access Quicken Simplifi via the app on my phone or via the website. I also really appreciate that my bank, credit card, and liability accounts can all be linked so the data is aggregated into Quicken for me. #### Cons The only con I have is that some accounts that require authentication or regular password changes get disconnected from the app because of this. Not really a fault of the software but still an inconvenience. #### Reasons for switching to Quicken Mint.com was shut down in 2024 leaving users forced to find an alternative. --- ### Quicken, my experience. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Investment Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Have used it for many, many years. Would love to see them develop the program further with Android full suit access. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Reliability Ease of transaction entry Charts and graphs, downloads of transaction, property and debt calculations. #### Cons Web access is not the best. Software seems to work best when on main computer, not remotely. Web App is very basic. #### Reasons for choosing Quicken Familiarity of product and commonality of users. --- ### Lifetime of Disappointment - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Michael A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, for the past 35 years it has been extremely underwhelming. Specialty import situations, jacked up investments downloads (gave that up long ago). No undo (really?). So Why can't I just use a CSV? Do they think that is a way to increase profits? Maybe for existing users, but for anyone who will listen DO NOT GET YOUR FINANCIAL RECORDS STARTED ON QUICKEN! ANY other software but quicken. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Has qfx connector exports in most financial ends of websites. Lots of features auto sorting, renaming #### Cons Without a qfx connector, you might as well find another finacial service supplier, or enter everything by hand. No UNDO (really?). No standard data import available such as .csv, .txt, or any non-proprietary format. #### Reasons for switching to Quicken I needed more functionality. I do not appreciate being told how many characters to type. --- ### Using Quicken to manage your rental property - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dee B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Makes managing my rental property a breeze. You can download most of your transaction from both banks and cards. With little work you can categorize each transaction (create custom categories) on your own time. At any time, you can create a "Custom Report" to see if all the tenants have paid their rent or see what you have spent in the last year on any unit. Great tool!!!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Makes tax time easy! Makes managing my rental property a breeze. You Can easily create custom reports to analyze your fanatical situation. #### Cons It takes a bit of time to customize the categories to be able to create simple reports to find the information that you need, but when you are done the time was well worth the effort! #### Reasons for choosing Quicken Ease of use, ability to customize to my situation and ability to like to my bank and cards --- ### Good program to track expenses, receipts, and bills - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: John H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've used Quicken for many years. While it can be frustrating at times, I have found no other program on the market that allows me to track my receipts, expenses, and bills, as well as does Quicken #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It makes it easy to keep track of expenses and bank accounts #### Cons It can be buggy at times, e.g., downloading transactions into the wrong account. #### Reasons for choosing Quicken Quicken was the best available product at the time. --- ### Good Value for home use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Deborah W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it was a good experience for the ease of inputting information and the price. It just did not do everything that I needed it to. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The value for the price. Compared to other accounting software - it is much more cost effective. #### Cons For a small business it was missing some key components like payroll. Only have 1 employee but payroll is a must. #### Reasons for choosing Quicken Cost was the main factor and it had been recommended by a friend. #### Reasons for switching to Quicken Trying to save money but in the end having to go back to quickbooks for the features. Kept Quicken for home use. --- ### Quicken Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jodi l. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall I think leveraging quicken for my accounting purposes relieves a lot of the work between myself and my bookkeeper. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The features and functionality of Quicken meet many of my business. The reporting is simple and easy to apply and access. I think managing multiple businesses is good with this system. It has more of a scaleable feature. #### Cons there are times when making entries or correcting entries that I think the steps could be simplified. I also think creating custom reports could be easier in terms of formatting them report and customzing to logo and branding #### Reasons for choosing Quicken We foudn the scalability to franchise to be better with quicken --- ### Quicken a good choice - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nick W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Building Materials - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It worked, but managing the various categories was tedious. Seems like the Business Intelligence algorithms would be better and generate more intuitive category names. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Quicken as reasonably priced and linked fairly easily to my bank account and credit card account. #### Cons I did not like how the naming of charges in my bank account and cards did not line up very cleanly with the Quicken import data. It seemed like I was always scrubbing the data. --- ### Would highly recommend. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Rick H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

No incentive was offered I use Quicken for both personal and business purposes and find that it has a broad use of categories and accounts to handle both. I have been using Quicken since its inception 40+ years ago and find it useful on a daily basis as well as monthly and tax related reports. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Quicken is a versatile personal finance application that covers something as simple as checking and savings account record keeping to more complex accounts such as credit card, investment and mortgage accounts. It can generate reports and graphs to provide a complete picture of one's personal finances. #### Cons To the best of my knowledge Quicken is only available on a subscription basis. In the past one could purchase upgrades as they were released or wait a year to purchase when more features were available. --- ### Great budgeting tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: John B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. used to use it for all of my personal budgeting and finances #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros pretty easy to use for budgeting and data #### Cons The Quicken app is very limited and at times can be very complex to use --- ### Poor Customer service - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Doug P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have used Quicken for more than 10 years. In the past few years, the Quality of the updates has been poor and the price has gone up. Customer service has declined in Boise office. Guatemala service is better but still language problem. Do not start with Quicken Home and Business! Letter to the current [sensitive content hidden] of Quicken I have contacted Quicken, according to your records at least 6 times this year 2024. I have been a customer for at least a dozen years. The problem was finally resolved today 3/11/2024. It was related to files that go back in time and or the size of the file. I cannot imagine it is the size nor the date, it just does not make sense to me. However today, thanks to a person in Guatemala it was resolved after approx 2 hrs. I really am upset that after speaking with a person in Boise last week for almost 2 hrs (#10890242) I was told it was an issue with my computer. I believed him, because I had spoken with numerous to Quicken support on that issue and the renaming error issue. I have spoken with [sensitive content hidden] at your Boise office and they have extended my subscription for 6 mos.That is the best they can do for me! [sensitive content hidden], did confirm when looking at the notes I was told by the agent. That it was a problem with my computer blocking and I should take it in and get it checked. I did take it in! But going back to the issue of my time and not correct advice, I spent $175.00 to have my computer checked, I was told by your employee that was the issue. It was not, according to [sensitive content hidden], the correct procedure was to escalate the problem. That was not done according to the notes, case #10890242. If it would have been escalated, I would not have incurred the expense. I still would have 15 or 20 hours of my time. I have to keep Quicken to run the rental properties I own. I need the data in case I am audited. So I would have to switch to another program or continue with Quicken. I would prefer to stay as switching would require substantial time and effort for a 74 year old person. My time and for that part yours, on the support time is probably 15 hours or more. That does not include my hold time or the issue that I now have to add back all the passwords to the institutions and double check to make sure there are no issues. If you do not think that is fair, then I will have no choice but to continue with Quicken. But I will let other users know of my difficulties when they choose companies like yourself. I do hope this note will help you in the future, as far as training and obvious flaws in the computer program. I have run many companies including a number of my own. It is not the money, it is my time! I also always wanted feedback from my customers to help me improve my companies and our services. I am sure you also want that for your many companies. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Was easy now difficult especially after updates #### Cons The value has gone out the window, I think this happened when they were bought --- ### Is there anything out there other than Quicken????? - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Mike S. - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered If I could give less than 1 star I would! I have been a huge supporter of Quicken in the past. I encouraged my kids and clients and anyone that would listen to use Quicken. Sorry! I have now gone to using my online banking bill pay through my bank which is free! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros This used to be a great product! I have used it since 1993 to track my business finances and investments. It really helps at tax time. #### Cons Support is worse than non-existent. It is March 8th and I have been trying to get support since the first week in January. I was on the phone with a rep for 2 hours trying to get bill pay to work. I was told to hang on I need to ask my manager about that and then hung up on. I tried chatting and was told that you cannot use chat for online bill pay. Called the support number and was told that there is a special number for online bill pay. I called that number and was told by the rep that I needed to go to quickenbillpay.com but he would stay on the line and would call me back if I got disconnected. That was a week ago. Still havent gotten at call. Went through the insutructions on the quickenbillpay.com website to set up a new account and it indicated it would take 2 -3 days to set up an account and I would receive 2 transactions on my bank statement from them. Check my statement and then come back and enter those figures to confirm I own the account. That was 6 days ago and still no transactions. Yesterday I received an email that I must send in 1. My drivers License. 2. My Social Security Card. 3. my most recent utility bill from water, gas, or electric company only. 4. A voided check from each account I want to use. Sounds like an internet scam to me. I called quicken and explained I wasn't comfortable sending all of this over the internet and by the way I have been paying for your services for 25 years and now you want all of this info. Their response is quicken was sold and that they are a new company and they have to have the info or no bill pay services! No wonder they bill pay services are now included in the Premier package. No one can use it! The bad part is I have all of my payments for cars, houses, utilities, credit cards set up for auto pay using quicken bill pay. Now I have to find another way to get them paid because it has taken 2 months and I still am not set up for bill pay. By the way they don't tell you this is what happens when you download Quicken 2018. Beware! --- ### 30-Year Quicken User - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Peter M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Intuit is so exploitive, that I would actually consider them to be immoral and I have tried many times to move to a different product, but they make it very difficult. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Of the personal finance managers, Quicken is probably the best. Other packages at or below this cost lack a majority of their features and in order to get them, you would have to upgrade to a much more expensive package, so it is at a price sweet spot. #### Cons I've been using Quicken since 1992 and consider myself quite familiar with the package. The Quicken business model is and always has been exploitive and has been adding and subtracting features for years in an attempt to always have a new product to sell. Their current subscription model is no different. However, they never improve the product. There are bugs still there that have been there since the 90's. They're reports and windows do not zoom. They do not use Windows conventions, for example keystrokes. When working properly, it provides a lot of value, but it is very easy to introduce errors into the data and impossible to fix them. Their customer support is an absolute joke. It's normally a 40-minute queue to talk to an idiot and they are so propaganda driven, that they delete any negative posts or reviews from their sites and their forum. They purposely obstruct you from transferring to their competitors. I myself have had to purchase 7 versions of the program since 2000 and that's BEFORE they moved to a subscription model. Every release introduces more bugs, but they make it impossible to freeze a particular version, constantly cutting off web access and they have Upgrade Nags constantly that you can't get rid of. And they are entirely shameless about it. --- ### Its all about the profits now...... - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Tamara B. - Industry: Civic & Social Organization - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Although I am sounding as though I am resistant to forwarding technology, I am not. There are just certain things that I feel should be more protected and so far, technology has failed to prevent hackers and identity thieves from accessing peoples information due to companies insistence in having our information all over the internet and web. There was nothing wrong with the old QUICKEN but greed is no playing a part in the new QUICKEN that separated from INTUIT. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I loved it when it was an actual software that could be purchased and had no yearly subscription fee. Prior to them separating from Intuit, this was my software of choice. Ease of use and the ability to choose to have your information inaccessible to internet hackers and not out there for anyone to see. #### Cons 2007 saw the end of exceptional quality. Went from a software that you can purchase and utilize without having to pay a yearly subscription to a for profit only software with yearly subscription in 2017-2018 update. Now if you want to use this software you have to pay for it yearly. 2007 utilized an update that caused major issues with previous versions. The font became too large to fit in the windows that popped up, the reconciliation failed to work properly, did not give accurate numbers.(Quicken blamed this on the PC Operating system....Funny, no other software on my PC had these issues). They refused to fix the issues they created and then came out with a new update that once you applied the update, 2017-2018, you had to start paying yearly or live with the issues that were created by the previous update. I now have fuzzy font, like old school DOS systems, and a yearly subscription for more bells and whistles that I will ever utilize. Not everyone wants to use mobile access and expose themselves to more and more risk of hackers to steal information. --- ### Lack of availability for Mac - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I cannot say more than I already have. I’ve had to save information on my Mac and then pick it up on my PC just to send an invoice. This is inconvenient. It takes time that could be better off spend doing other things. Please, Quicken, bring Home and Business to Mac. Also, allow the ability to edit previous entries. I’ve noticed issues in the past that could have been easily fixed with an edit button, but you cannot. This should be fixed. As the leader in accounting software, it should have more features available than it does. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Quicken seems to be the go-to accounting software in the industry, so naturally we went with it. We were very happy with Quicken, as it is easy to teach to our new employees. I also really like the seamlessness of the program between a Mac and a PC. My laptop is a Mac while my home computer is a PC, and I find that the program itself is very similar on both platforms, and thus very easy to use. However, we initially intended to purchase Quicken for Home and Business, but it is not available for Mac, so we had to take a step back and purchase Quicken Premier. This was more than slightly annoying, but we managed to make it work. #### Cons The lack of availability of Home and Business for Mac is a big con for me. The Home and Business program allows for custom invoices, which would look really good for our small business. We also wanted the ability to track our profit and loss, so we purchased it for my home computer. We can still send out the custom invoices on our PCs, but it would be a lot easier if it were available for Mac. Hopefully, there will be an option to purchase Home and Business in the future for Mac. --- ### Quicken is the Grand-Daddy of Personal Finance Tools, I can't Quit It. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Wes P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
