Question

Is the only option to updgrade desktop now $799 per year?

I have QuickBooks Pro 2014.  For nearly a decade, I was only handling 2 rental properties, so that version was still working.  However, I am now starting a new business venture and looked at upgrading.  Online is not an option, desktop only.  The least expensive option I found is a subscription of $799 per year.  Is this now the entry cost for desktop?  Are there any less expensive versions available for desktop?  If not, has anyone converted from QB to a different accounting software for small biz?

It is the updated price for the QuickBooks Desktop version as of today, DebsBoykinFarm.

 

That is correct. Despite being a sunset edition, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Pro 2014 is still functional. I understand how convenient for you to use our QBDT product. Currently, the one-time license purchase is no longer available.

 

Several companies consider QuickBooks as effective and practical solution. You can buy a subscription if you decide that QuickBooks Desktop is the best option for your company. It proved to be best business software for organizations of all sizes and types. Please visit our website for the most recent price: QuickBooks Desktop Prices.

 

I've also included this resource to guide you installing our QuickBooks product: Install QuickBooks Desktop.

Thank you for your quick response and straightforward answer to my question.

Unfortunately, that price annually is prohibitive, and online is not an option (which I see is less expensive).

I will appreciate if you pass along to the folks that decide these things that they are pushing smaller businesses off the platform.  I have been using QuickBooks for 18 years and it's really disappointing to have to look at alternatives after all this time.

You can purchase QB Desktop 2023 Pro Plus.

 

If you are working solo on a desktop (PC or Mac) to manage your book and only need basic features, you should explore a free program. You can use the program for as long as you like, use all the features and enter as much data as required. There are no time limits, no usage limits, no ads (at this time). This program is quite popular in Asia and Europe.
