Your question is like any other question of the sort: why buy a specialized program dedicated to a task rather than hacking it together in spreadsheet or a database? For instance: why use an address book program when you can do it yourself in Excel? It depends on how much time you want to spend on re-inventing this task, how much you care about the task itself, and what you want out of it.įor $30-$60, you don't have to re-invent accounting in a spreadsheet. Perhaps a dumb question: what can you do with these various financial packages that you cannot do with a well put-together spreadsheet? I have a big Excel workbook with all my finances and budgets that I extend out column-wise every few weeks. They are continuing to extend the online functionality of Quicken 2007 and sell it on their website until that new product is released, so perhaps that's at least some hint that it will be released eventually (in the past, online functionality "expired" about two years after the product appeared) Who knows whether that will appear before Lion, but there's a chance at least. So, they did promise an updated version at some point.

Well, last spring when Intuit was getting blasted for the deficiencies of Quicken Essentials, Intuit said two things: 1) those with non-online investment accounts to track should stick with Quicken 2007, 2) a full featured new version of Quicken for Mac will eventually appear (perhaps in 2011). It may still work for me as I don't do online bill paying, but i do track investments and it sounds like this product has limited or no support for that level of functionality Quicken's current Mac "offering," Quicken Essentials for Mac, appears from everything i have read/seen to be a substantial step backward in features and functionality. That said, every time I've emailed them, I've received a response within 24 hours.
My main problem with See Finance is that there are no user forums and no developer blog/twitter. You can also tell it to auto label transactions based purely on the amount of the transaction - really useful for me since I pay my rent by check and so the only identifying information is that it's the same amount each month. Especially nice that it will show you potential duplicated transactions and color them based on how sure it is that the transaction is duplicated or not. I've been demoing See Finance for ~6 months and am pretty happy with it. Also their import auto tag/filters were pretty limited. I had lots of problems with account-account transfers not being duplicated on both ends. Too many problems with display/GUI bugs that would affect displayed account value (especially for stock portfolios) that I saw in v2 and continued to see in v3. That said, I used it for version 2 and 3 and I wouldn't recommend it. IBank isn't a new product (it's on version 4 now IIRC) and has been around for years. I also looked at iBank but it seems to be a new product, and I have so much data invested in Quicken that I feel uncomfortable with a product when I don't have a handle on long term viability. Any MoneyDance users who can allay my fears, and can comment on the transition from Quicken to MoneyDance?

MoneyDance seems reasonably popular, but one worry I have is that Lion will also not include a Java runtime (even though it will be "easy" to install one.).

I have a ton of data in my Quicken file going back to the "early days" of this software, starting with the Windows version (sorry), running the Windows version under Wine on Linux, migrating to Mac - and spending days fixing import problems and the like. I have little desire to buy Quicken 2007 first just to upgrade, especially as the only one I found online for sale is over $150! Further, as far as I can tell from the Intuit website, there is a migration strategy from Quicken Mac 2007 to Quick Essentials Mac, but there does not appear to be a migration strategy from Quicken 2004.
It may still work for me as I don't do online bill paying, but i do track investments and it sounds like this product has limited or no support for that level of functionality.

However, now that Lion will not include support for Rosetta or any PowerPC application, I am going to have to lay out some sort of upgrade plans. I am still using Quicken 2004 I've never had a reason to "upgrade" before.
Starting to think about what I'm going to do when Lion is out.seeing as how Lion will not support Rosetta.
