As of JQuickBooks Desktop will no longer be available for sale. That pressure will build over time as more and more use the platform.Intuit has decided to discontinue QuickBooks Desktop. I'm more concerned with the inevitable future time when Microsoft decides to increase profits by increasing rates for arbitrary reasons. And even if they do so what? We have alternatives for those that don't want to pay that subscription fee. But I see no evidence that these two things are going to change anytime soon. Will they remain so forever? I have no idea. The latter two are also, but also available via traditional perpetual licensing. The former is obviously a subscription based service for obvious reasons. These are three distinctly different products. Microsoft 365 is not, and never has been Microsoft Office, or Microsoft Windows. But the part I take issue with is the conflation between the two products.

The fact that M365 can also include Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows licensing is almost irrelevant.

The former is a series of cloud services that tightly integrate with the latter and other software. The latter can be had via machine based perpetual licensing, and probably always will be. There is some clarity that needs to be drawn here. Luckily I figured it out and was done by 2200. It's over 12 hours later now.still no call from them.lol. Support has me opt for either email support, or a return phone call if you leave your number.and when I plugged my cell # in, a message that I'd receive a call within 5 minutes. I needed their support last night, started this project after 1900 hours, around 2020. Accountants run the Accountants version of Quickbooks that can open all sorts of various client versions of QB's.īoy do I hate their support though.
QUICKBOOKS CRITICAL UPDATES NEEDED SOFTWARE
Yes I know there are a couple of other accounting apps that some services can integrate with, but.by far and wide, Quickbooks has the most.Īlso, it's desirable to use software that your accountant can work with."accountants copy" exports for example. The thing with Quickbooks, it's almost like Microsoft.not quite, but almost.as it's a "gold standard" for businesses, and soooo many other 3rd part software and services "integrate" with it.
QUICKBOOKS CRITICAL UPDATES NEEDED UPGRADE
Last night I did an upgrade at a distie for contractors.big masonry place, they run on Enterprise Platinum Edition. Yeah they're pricey, we run on Premier for 4 users, still at 2021. I wish I could raise MY prices by 340% and not lose customers. I don't see me switching to Xero or Freshbooks, so I'm sure I'll end up just paying, but yikes - too much sticker shock for a Monday.

If I give up on Premier and go back down to Pro (not sure what all I would lose in the process, but I'll be looking into it), then that now costs $350/year for one user and $550/year for 2 users, or $275/user/year, or 220% of what I'm paying now. So that works out to $425/user/year for me, only 340% of what I'm paying now. Quickbooks Premier is $550/year for one user, and $850/year for 2 users. You can now only buy Quickbooks Desktop as a subscription, and it phones home when you open the software so it will quit working as soon as you quite paying.
For purposes of this discussion, though, let's go with the 2019 price of $750 for 2 users for 3 years = $125/user/year.Įnter 2022. In 2013, we paid just $260 for 2 seats from Newegg - they must have had a sale or something. Back in 2016, we got an even better deal and paid just $450 for a 2-user version of 2016 Premier. The last time we purchased the software was in 2019, and we paid about $750 for 2 seats. This allowed you to build a thing out of inventory parts, and then only show the final assembled thing on the invoice to the customer, instead of the individual parts. I have 2 licenses for my business, and previously always used the "Premier" version because it had support for "Assemblies". Those were the rules they set, so those were the rules I played by.
There was the one thing that if your accountant was a "Quickbooks Pro Advisor", then part of the requirements for using that title was forcing your clients to upgrade at least every 3 years.
If you didn't use any online services like bank feeds or their payroll system, it would likely work much longer. Quickbooks desktop would generally "work" for 3 years before you had to upgrade. The desktop version has a richer feature-set and is less expensive, especially if you only purchase it every 3 years. In the past, we always chose and recommended Quickbooks Desktop unless there was a specific use case where the online version was indicated (like multiple locations, for example). Surprising no one, I suspect, Intuit has joined the rest of the universe and has moved the desktop software to a "subscription only" pricing model.
