Continuing the momentum since becoming a standalone company, Quicken Inc. announces its 2018 releases of Quicken for Windows and Mac users. With the updated product line, both offerings deliver on the company’s commitment to revitalizing Quicken. They include improved online bill management, new investment features, and simpler upgrades with Quicken’s membership program, which provides automatic access to the latest versions. From staying on top of finances to managing investments, the 2018 releases of Quicken help customers manage their finances at every stage of life.
For the first time ever, Mac users now have access to a choice of products, including Quicken Starter, Quicken Deluxe, and Quicken Premier. This gives Mac users more flexibility to choose the offering that best suits their specific financial needs.
Quicken for Mac now includes all-new access to online bills from more than 11,000 billers, which are integrated into a streamlined bill workflow; expanded investment capabilities with specific lot tracking and a highly customizable portfolio view; and new loan tracking features including “what-if” loan analysis.
Windows users now have improved access to online bills from more than 11,000 billers, including PDF bill download and a streamlined bill and payment dashboard; new report formatting and customization options; direct report export to Excel spreadsheet; enhanced investment performance analysis (for Premier and above); and simplified emailing of invoices and rental reminders in Home, Business & Rental Property Manager, with additional invoicing options such as web links.
“We are always listening to customer feedback and the 2018 releases of Quicken reflect the balance of new features and refinements to existing capabilities that we know our users want,” said Eric Dunn, chief executive officer of Quicken, in a statement. “With our latest products, Mac offerings are more robust, our interfaces are more intuitive, and our new membership program ensures that customers always have the latest and greatest Quicken without the pain of manually upgrading.”
Quicken is now sold on a membership basis. Rather than purchase upgrades every year, customers automatically continue to receive the latest version of Quicken as long as they maintain their membership. Quicken offers both one- or two-year memberships (two-year initially available only at retail) to customers. In addition, Premier and Home, Business & Rental Property Manager members will receive free Quicken Bill Pay and access to Quicken’s Premium Care.
Users of all new versions of Quicken will receive an additional 5GB of Dropbox storage for backup and retrieval of your Quicken data through our exclusive partnership with the leading cloud storage provider. Additionally, Quicken Home, Business & Rental Property Manager users can now create and easily email invoices with custom logos and colors, along with links to their Yelp profile, payments (PayPal), and more.

MacDailyNews Take:
Does the Mac version do Inventories and Assemblies? Until then I can’t switch to the Mac version or the online version.
At this point, how many Mac users really care about Quicken?
They screwed over Mac users about 18 years ago. After that, Quicken no longer existed for me.
Quicken has been rather Slowken on their Mac versions over the years. Not bothering with feature parity with similar Windows products either. Nice.
I moved to iBank/Banktivity ever since Intuit decided to pull support for Quicken on Mac. Never looked in the rear view mirror and won’t be going back.
They lost their chance to retain Quicken for Mac customers. I hope others feel the same and have found alternatives to Quicken as well.
I was a loyal Quicken user for many years. Then the treated mac users like crap.
People need to stop buying these software subscriptions so they will go away.
No I don’t want a subscription, no I don’t want to use your cloud. Nothing more then a big target for hackers.
Stopped using turbotax 3 yrs ago when they wanted me to connect to “their” print server for a extension printout. Really?
Guess quicken and quick books on my Mac chopping block now
