    Quicken is about as user friendly and simple as it gets. But I refuse to keep my information on a server that's under someone else's control, and pay a recurring fee to do it.

    I use Gnu Cash. It's free, and it's open source. But it comes with a bit of a learning curve.

    I use quicken or quick books.
    I don't put anything in the cloud.
    All the information stays in my PC.

    I think the new versions are cloud only, with a monthly subscription fee?

    Didn't know that. My version is from 2015 and won't update.
    Works great the way it is.
    I don't put anything in the cloud.
    I'm sure some information gets there, but nothing intentionally.

    Yeah, that's probably why it won't update lol.

    Intuit is now money-grabbing.

    Quickbooks offers an online (cloud based) version, but it's not exclusive.

    I just upgraded my desktop 2015 pro to 2018 pro.

    Their online version sux anyways.

    I meant, I won't update the software version. Because I don't like cloud storage. I prefer my control with my data.
     
    windsmith Thanks this.

    I've been pretty happy with the online version. Once it's set up, it's a lot more hands off.
