On the other hand, I have a hard time seeing how pulling this stunt, with such a skewed pricing structure, will work with a customer base that, by definition, is more financially savvy than average. On the one hand, you could argue that Quicken users in general are pretty engaged and serious users of the product, and possibly willing to pay more for the product. On a serious note, it'll be interesting to see how this works out for them. If this goes through, I've definitely had my last Bloomin' Onion (though my arteries would probably thank me for that). The private equity firm that now owns Quicken (H.I.G. Hopefully Canadian early-feedback will head this off at the pass. I'll have to keep my eye on this and the Quicken Community thread you posted.
I can just imagine if Microsoft attempted this with Excel or Word. That's a big objection for me, and one not likely to go away. Second objection - if not renewed in a year, my data file becomes read-only? No downloads I'm okay with, but read-only files - no way. So down the road, when performance is proven, I'll get on board. But I do not want my workflow interrupted by frequent glitch-filled updates. While they do seem to be getting better with update integrity, I think they have a long way to go. Fix that FIRST, and then I'll be on board. However, I strenuously object to Quicken doing this at the present time because they do too poor of a job in rolling out bug-free software upgrades. It ensures a constantly up-to-date software feature set. I prefer the subscription model for my key software, and have even come to prefer that model for Microsoft Office. Thanks for posting this, since it may well migrate south to the US eventually (I'm Detroit, so North, for me ). You might even recognize a few usernames and some of this text. If people just wait until fall to see if Q2018 changes business models it may be too late.Īnyone interested can join the conversion conversation and provide feedback to Quicken on their forum, see Quicken Inc should reverse its decision to change to a subscription that makes the user's data read-only if they stop paying | Quicken Customer Community. So now is the time for US customers to make their objections known to Quicken.
because each year's upgrade also converts data formats. customers' data is held hostage and (c) anyone who upgrades to the subscription version likely won't be able to go back to pre-2017 versions to do manual transactions, i.e. a substantial price increase, (b) when this annual subscription expires the ability to make manual transactions also ends, i.e.
It seems that Quicken is testing a new model on us Canadians.
