What version of Quicken should I subscribe to? Is it Quicken Classic Premier?
Hello @rickoneill,

@rickoneill Unfortunately, the Quicken website does a miserable job of clearly comparing the different products available. For instance, the link @Quicken Alyssa posted above provides a comparison of Quicken's cloud-based Simplifi products, referred to on that page as Quicken Personal" versus "Quicken Business & Personal". But neither of those have anything to do with updating your Quicken 2017 (now referred to as "Quicken Classic") desktop software.
If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you'll see one box devoted to Quicken Classic. But it does not provide, or lead to, a good comparison of what additional features you get with Premier versus Deluxe. They used to have a product comparison page which compared Deluxe and Premier but for some reason got ride of it. Here's a link to an archived version from late 2022.
The simplest question might be: what version of Quicken 2017 do you have, Deluxe or Premier? At that time, there was very little difference between the two. Since then there have been some features, mostly related to investments, added to Premier, but there's still not a huge difference.
To ease your mind if you worry about choosing the wrong version at first: the conversion process is the same for any version… and all data that can be migrated will be there even if you choose a version that does not let you work with some feature or another. But, nonetheless, best to choose the version which provides at least the features you have been using so that you can verify your data conversion right away.
