Discounted Quicken for people who update manually and use few online services

I update almost all my accounts manually and don’t use the download capacities except to update mutual fund prices. I think Quicken should consider a heavily discounted version which does not use its download capabilities. I get very little from its updates. I’ve used Quicken almost from its inception and have gone from paying $19-29 every three years to today’s subscription which is over $75 a year, with very little change in the program. In fact, several features it once had are no longer available.

Thank you .

    If you have Windows you can get Quicken 2013 for free. That’s what I use. Has everything I need. I don’t download or use any Online services. I’m staying on 2013.

    Quicken has never been sold on a "piece-meal" basis, and I don't expect them to start doing such.

    And the downside to @volvogirl's approach is that quotes won't download into a product that old.

    You can do price updates with a comma separated value (CSV) file. That’s how I get my price updates in Q2017.

    I discovered the Stock app on my iPhone. I don’t have many stock and mutual funds. I added them all to the stock app. Then on Fridays and end of month I click on the investing tab and enter the prices by going directly down the list. It is in the same order as the iPhone app.
