Please give us a subscription model

Randy Steck

Why isn't Quicken keeping up with the times and offering a subscription model like every other highly-used app?  The fact that I have to change over to the "latest" revision to keep online access, which also changes the interfaces, access controls and a bunch of other stuff is highly annoying.  Just give us the most up-to-date version you can while our subscription is valid.  Please stop being mired in the past.  We're willing to pay for good quality, but being held ransom to do an update every 2-3 years is really ridiculous.

Have you looked into buying Quicken recently?  That is exactly what they have done.  It is now only available by subscription (which many other users are complaining about!)

You don't specify what version of Quicken you have. Although a new version of Quicken was introduced every year in the past, I would typically hang on to my current version for several years and then update. My previous Quicken version was 2014 and I then updated to Quicken 2018 which is subscription version which you have to renew every year. It is frequently being updated automatically  so you don't have to "change over" to the latest version.

@Gary K. Massey, look around at eBay, WalMart, Amazon, etc.  They frequently have longer subscriptions and better pricing than does Q itself.

Yikes - you may want to have a discussion on this topic with all those folks that hate the new Quicken subscription model and pricing introduced last year....
