Mint would actually be a great counterpart to Quicken. But once you start to get a complicated grown-up financial life, it runs out of gas fast. That said, I have an old version of Quicken that I use to keep track of the family checking and savings accounts. The price is the same, the features the same, and the support is the.

Moneydance is the same software across the board. This is 100 true, and Quicken continues to address this with updates and complete software rebuilds.

If you're 20 or 25 years old and have super-simple finances, and if you don't mind going to another site, like your bank's, to pay your bills (or if you do so with paper checks), then Mint can help you make sense of your money. Talk to anyone using Quicken on a Mac and they all have similar complaints PC users get more features for the same price. Quicken bought and it looks like Quicken Online is getting merged into. It has a nice interface and automatically downloads your transactions. If you just want to track your expenses and maybe setup a budget, you can do that easily. While some might consider it excessive, I like both systems for different reasons. PolarBear2k wrote: A few weeks ago I tried Quicken Online. I actually use both Quicken and to track my personal finances (so itвЂ™s less a Quicken vs Mint type of mindset).

It will tell you where your cash is going and how to save money, but it doesn't handle stocks ( see Cake Financial), bills, long-term planning, or taxes. KJ: For me, the answer isnвЂ™t OR it is AND when it comes to evaluating vs Quicken. It's a simple-too simple-personal financial analysis tool. Mint ( review) is not a full-fledged personal finance product, but people keep comparing it with Quicken. It's enough to drive you away from software forever. If only one could use it without flinching. It has more features than anyone can use, but I continue to be surprised by the weird financial transactions it can handle.

No online product does everything it does: balance your checkbook, pay your bills, track your stocks (including stock options and other vehicles), calculate your mortgage payments, budget for your retirement, integrate with tax planning products, and so on. My version of Quicken crashes when I look at it cross-eyed, and that's a scary thing in a program that holds so much personal data in a format that no other product-except the only slightly less-hated Microsoft Money-can read. I've been using Quicken for 17 years, and the product has been getting worse each year (there have been some good years, but Quicken sees to it that you can't stand pat when you get a good version). After just four weeks of their public beta, financial management web site Mint is already boasting over 50,000 members and managing over 2 billion of their money, and early next week Mint is. Quicken 2007 (the version I use I read that 2008 is similar) suffers from all the worst possible flaws of desktop software: It's slow, loaded with features, and unreliable. Neither product can be considered a serious solution for personal finance.
