Its also speedy, opening new account windows promptly when double-clicked.

Ive been using Quicken in some form since 1994, but stopped with Quicken 2007I found the newer versions worse than Quicken 2007, so I never upgraded.

Why Basically because it worked (most of the time), and I didnt like any of the alternatives, which I would occasionally test.

In addition to its 32bitness, it had other issues: The UI was tiny and horrid, the windows never opened where I closed them ( Moom s saved layouts to the rescue), and online access to my accounts was nearly non-existent.

Worst of all, it would crash on occasion, necessitating rebuilding all my data files.

Going in, I was dead set against it, mainly due to its annual subscription structure.

I hate subscription software in general, but as it turns out, this one isnt really a subscription.).

As such, I cant vouch for how well any of these three programs handle those tasks.

Moneydance ignored the hidden status of accounts, so a lot of old, closed accounts showed up.

Banktivity wont import reconciliations, so none of my accounts were reconciled.

Still, these are relatively minor issues compared to successfully importing nearly 25 years worth of Quicken data.

I found the interface not to my likingthere are icons next to each account, which makes the layout look busy, and I found its register view confusing.

Quicken 7 Mac App Window

And while that doesnt inherently make it bad, Javas generic write once for many platforms code shows itself in a few places: The Preferences window doesnt look anything like a native Mac app window, and the buttons in the app are definitely not macOS-style buttons.

Performance-wise, the app feels a bit slow; it takes a couple of seconds to open an account in a new window after double-clicking its entry in the account list.

This is true even if its an account I just opened and then closed.

Its account list view is also laden with iconsfolder icons, new activity count badges, and status badges.

It looks very busy, but once you get into an account, the view is much cleaner than Moneydance.

Quicken 7 Free OFX Support

While many of our accounts offered free OFX support, there were a number that only worked with Direct Access, which is free during the generous 30 day trial period.

Outside of that, Direct Access is a 45 per year subscription.

Unfortunately, you cant do that with a double-click, as that brings up the accounts info panel; you need to right-click and choose Open in New Window from the contextual menu.

Because I wasnt downloading investment data in Quicken 2007, I had manually entered the splits using Quickens split tool.

Banktivity didnt handle this correctly, so our balances were way off in those two accounts.

That allayed my fears of needing to subscribe forever, just so I wouldnt lose access to my financial data.

As I hoped, Quicken handled the import of my old data perfectly, bringing across the reconciliations and handling investments properly.
