Differences/advantages or comparisons between Quicken vs QuickBooks ?

I have Quicken deluxe and have had it for years. Noticed their both Intuit products...

Intuit hasn't owned Quicken for about 4 years.

Q is a Personal Financial Manager.  But the HBR version supports individual-owned small businesses that can be reported on Schedule C,  Schedule E or Schedule F of your personal tax return.

Quickbooks is a "Small Business  Financial Manager" ... but it doesn't support investment accounts.

There are many other differences between the 2 products ... but those criteria are usually the Make-or-break items in the "which do I need" decision.

Quicken is not an Intuit product, Intuit sold Quicken years ago.

As for differences, it seems like Quickbooks scales up to support a larger business than Quicken Home & Business does. For instance, I don't see anything in Quicken H&B about payroll, so it probably wouldn't be a great fit for someone hiring employees. It's also easier for your accountant to access your finances with Quickbooks.

This looks like a pretty good evaluation of the differences:
