Also, Moneydance support is horrible. It took them two months to answer my question sent via email.

So, while I hate Quicken I guess I have little choice but to go back to them.

Now I have a problem: no possibility to export datas. In their forum they wrote in March 2008!!! that there will be a solution with the next version. This sounds not very professional to me

I hated Quicken, so that was not an option. I looked at nine different OSX financial software–and disliked something about all of them EXCEPT MONEYDANCE. Easy to operate, nice to work with–a clear winner. The interface in my version (2007R5) is very pleasant to look at, it operated perfectly, connects easily to my credit union, downloads the information and puts it where it should. Very configurable and incredibly easy to do. Try and and you will love it.

And there are like a million more applications these days. Moneywell, Cha-Ching, etc Time for a new look dont you think?

(disclaimer, I work for Moneydance. But yeah, I think all of these deserve a second look)

For anybody who wants more feedback from different types of Mac, this is a ridiculously informative blog thread: http://www.timandkathy.co.uk/journal/2005/02/05/looking-for-mac-os-x-personal-finance-software/
(The posters seem to agree that moneydance is the bomb.)

I’ve been a Quicken user for over 10 years now and intend to abandon Quicken as of January 2007 because 1) Mac version not on par with PC version 2) annual upgrades provide little or no improvement and are often buggy 3) You cannot manage the file alternately on PC and Macs without a time-consuming and inaccurate translation and 4) Intuit doesn’t seem to care about these issues.

My experience so far: Quicken is the better of the two programs BUT the difference is not all that great. MoneyDance lacks a few of the nice details that Quicken attends to BUT (and this is VERY IMPORTANT) MoneyDance IS cross platform which is a God-send if you are doing finances for a small organization, etc., or even if you have to send the file to your tax consultant. The overall look of MoneyDance is somewhat underpolished, but Quicken’s is not that great either and has been essentially the same for many, many years.

I’m hoping that Reilly Tech will continue to polish and improve on the product. To that aim, I’m hoping that everyone will purchase a copy so that support will continue. If you are new to finance software, I STRONGLY advise you NOT to use Quicken even though you may have gotten it for free on your Mac. Cough up the bucks for MoneyDance. Don’t support a company that doesn’t care about your needs.

Is it because I have the trial version?
