I’m annoyed that quickbooks has gone to a subscription for the Desktop software, it is glitchy, has to connect via online to verify authenticity. Its all for the sake of forcing businesses to pay for the software every year. You don’t really own a copy of the software, it’s really more of a lease.
Yeah, another business that's gonna die as a result. Adobe is already falling off, video editors moving to Resolve. Subscription based is a cash grab and companies seem to stop innovating, fixing bugs all while raping on the price
@@dxelson Forgetting who your customer is and their needs is how you run a declining business and let potential customers know they can glean a quick market share.
Yes. I am furious. Talk about highway robbery. My desktop went from 348 to 549 in one year. Now I am told I can not even access my data without the subscription. So is it really even my data or did they just steal it? They don't even inform you that your price is going up or let you know in advance that your going to be billed again. Customer service is all from India, albeit good and nice. I know the owners, etc are sitting on a yacht somewhere in the Bahamas! Time for a change!
Shit in the Bahamas you think? Cheers to them!! Or were you trying to trash them for their accomplishments? What number do you call? I haven’t been connected to India yet, all my support is always a southerner yee yee
I really like your presentation. However, you did not mention if any of these alternatives can bring over your QB history. Do you have to start over? Also, aren't all of these cloud based? Is anything available for desktop where you just keep and own your own data? Thanks for the great presentation.
Did you get. solution to this? I am trying to figure out how to save my QB files when I upgrade my Mac Opearting system. No way am I going to pay those prices
I send out estimates for work to be done to several contractors for the same project. I've tried to get QB to allow job entry without being attached to a contractor for years. As it is now I have to enter the project under the 4 or 5 contractors I plan to send the proposal to and then send each one individually. It is a major hassle. I also had QB sync with my banking and it would unreconcile my entire account sometimes back 2 years. It cost me weeks of time trying to correct it and QB could not figure out why it was doing this. It has been a hassle the entire time I've used it which is about 24+ years.
Missed an apples to apples comparison at the end and also customer service/technical support, I think is a important matter that was not discussed at all.
Hello could you advise me a software according to what I would like to do, I would like to buy accounting software in one go on appsumo And thank you for your videos Cyril
Hello, I can't stand QB, which I've had for years, which is also why I'd like to switch from QB desktop to another desktop software that's designed for that purpose, so it's seamless, easy migration, almost identical, with built-in shipping manager, etc. Is there such a thing, & if so, which is the best? Thank you...
@@dabneyoffermein595 I didn't. Every alternative was about the same price ($600+), plus, they didn't offer the shipping module, plus, having to learn a new system. It's like Biden: Not what I ultimately wish for, but definitely the best option available.
Google Sheets isn't really an option unless you know what your doing. The point of a software is so all the work is done in the background. Creating a spreadsheet in itself isn't what a business owner might know how to do.
Quite helpful for making a decision on which accounting software to use, because QB has now gone to the dogs, for a number of reasons. Suggestion though: you might think about keeping your cursor movements and screen scrolling down to a minimum, all that scrolling up and down and sideways and even jumping back and forth between tabs every few seconds was enough to create vertigo for your viewers. It's incredibly distracting and totally unnecessary. Maybe drop the caffeine level before you shoot a video, and all will be better. Be safe, cheers.

and thats how you run a profitable business
same boat. Desktop was perfectly fine.

Subscription-ware is just a legalized form of Ransom-ware. I hate every form of it.

Dightsoft is cheaper and offer the same features

I'm looking for software that allows me to run both my businesses through the same program.
Wave App
Hi in any of these softwares, can you move your datas from qb directly?
thanks

We took Wave for granted.
Wait what does this mean? I was going to pick wave

All these are cloud based. I want to *own* my data. None of these are viable alternatives for what QuickBooks used to be.
YES!!!!
Really helpful, thanks.
Why is everything now subscription and online? I have a business in the middle of nowhere and I need a standalone accounting software.

Anyone used the gravity accounting software? Not much in regards to individual reviews out there.

what did you end up switching to?

Exactly! I tried CountAbout but it doesnt allow for importing QFX files, only QIF. But it looked like a good priced option to what I needed.
You mean 'pricing options' alternatives. I can see prices myself
Agree !! Total scam. 620.00 per year subscription
Smh. Im looking for alternatives too
Dude, $2000 for the one I need. Insane, used to be like $200
payroll is where they get you
@@soulofthewilderness Exactly my issue. Have you found an alternative?
@@je5406 Did you find an alternative?

I had the same thought. I was having to pause to be able to read the info on the screen.
