Price increase 2025

We're a small business. Been using QB for 20 years. We used it the same for 2 decades. Check, online banking. 2 banks and 2 credit card to reconcile once a month. 

Until 2023 we updated the software every 2 years and paid $250. 
2023 it went up on subscription to $530 
2024 it went up to $689

2025 it's going up to $999

400% in 3 years for a small business with one license for desktop version and no payroll. 
And the reason? QB is a monopoly on this end and small and medium size businesses don't have other options. So this is what we get. CPAs will work only with QB. I called my accountant of many years. She says that QB are crooks and criminals on this end squeezing small businesses with no alternative but she can only work with this. 

This is NOT right. MS office doesn't cost like this. None of the online software we use had the nerve to raise rates like this. Only a monopoly can do this and QB exploiting us small business to the last cent. I bet you next year there will be another raise. We use the same version with same options for 20 years now. QB only gives one alternative to the Desktop version, the basic and now it costs $999 a year. 

Robbery in daylight. Disgusting. Shame on YOU QB.
