  "A GREAT Alternative to Quicken and MS Money"

  by JulieHG on May 30, 2005

  Pros: After years of using an end-of-life proprietary product from my bank, I finally had to breakdown and move from it due to it's lack of interoperability with XP Service Pack 2. I had delayed doing this for years because of the negative reviews I had seen here for Quicken, especially all of the embedded adware. I didn't trust Intuit (or Microsoft either) that a hidden online access point wouldn't be putting my valuable personal financial data at risk in order to promote it's online banking features. And then I found out that I was out of luck, because Quicken 2005 doesn't support .qif anymore *grrr*.

  I searched Amazon, and found Moneydance and liked it's customer reviews, although they were a few years old. I went to it's website moneydance.com, and discovered that the product is still available and up to date. It also included a free trial, which I immediately downloaded and liked the software so much, I bought the full license within an hour.

  If all you want is a reliable banking application with online bank access and NO ADWARE, this software is absolutely for you. The online component is not included by default, so no worries about the software taking you to a proprietary online banking site like quicken's or microsoft's. However, they make it VERY easy to add-on online banking features and support both .qif and Quicken's new .qdf formats.

  All of my data transferred over (my old software was able to export to .qif), although I did have to spend a little time re-organizing things. Whether that is a quirk of Moneydance, or the legacy software I was transfering from, I don't know. The software has support for investment accounts, although I've never tracked mine using my banking software, so I haven't tried it.

  Another big plus for the software is that it is Java based, and will install on any Java-enabled platform. No more being locked into Windows.

  Cons: None so far

  "Fantastic - all the features I need and easy to use!"

  on July 3, 2003

  Summary: This program does everything I need, and does it faster, easier, and better than Quicken. The best thing for me is that It doesn't have any advertisements or blinking banners trying to get me to buy a mortgage or refinance my house. There are also... read more >>
