This means that you don't have to put up with resource-devouring processes running in the background or nagging demands to upgrade/renew your license. Additionally, I have never had to contact MoneyDance customer support for any reason. Whereas my Quicken experience was plagued with repeated occurrences of bizarre software behavior. (To add insult to injury, I never did receive any meaningful response from Intuit support.) Online banking integration works exactly the way that it should, and newly downloaded transactions are tagged for review at your leisure. Most users will find the basic reporting tools to be adequate. And unlike some personal financial software, MoneyDance does not try to be overly helpful by automatically deciding how every transaction should be handled. > > **Cons**: It's important to keep in mind that this software is targeted towards the typical individual's personal financial management needs. Sole proprietors may very well find it adequate, but if you have employees or a dynamic, growing business then you will most likely find MoneyDance to be too limiting. The same is true for folks whose personal finances include a wide range of income streams and business investments. And as for the reporting features: again, these will be perfectly adequate for most people. But if you are a power user who demands the ability to construct finely tuned custom reports, you will likely find yourself frustrated. Then again, the software is priced accordingly: don't expect to get four times what you paid for, and you'll be fine. ----- ### "Good bang for the buck for home user" — 4.0/5 > **Gilbert** | *15 February 2021* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is an excellent alternative to Quicken, who want a solid user experience and who want to just pay to buy the software and not have to pay a monthly or yearly user fee. It costs $50, and there is a free trial version. Caveat: I use it for home finances: checkbook and credit card accounts. I do not use it for budgeting, tracking investments, mortgage analysis, etc. The user interface is similar to Quicken: you have a checkbook-like interface. Searching is easy. Balancing accounts is easy. Downloading data from your multiple account web sites is simple. > > **Cons**: Creating reports, saving them for future use, and modifying them takes some trial and error. Autofill (I type "Micr" and the program fills in "Microsoft") is quirky. Sometimes it works fine, other times not at all, and I haven't figured out a consistent pattern. > > This has been a solid product, a good choice for a home user who doesn't want to pay a subscription fee to Microsoft. ----- ### "Great alternative to Quicken but not the best product" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *04 August 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great alternative to Quicken. Pay once, no subscription. It downloads all transactions and does what it's supposed to. > > **Cons**: The interface still needs some work; some of the dialog boxes are awkward. The interface schemes and the reports could be improved. > > I like MoneyDance for what it does and for the most I will stick to it since moving to another program is difficult. That being said, I will still be looking for the perfect Quicken alternative. ----- ### "Great personal finance management software." — 5.0/5 > **Kurt** | *01 May 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great for personal finance management, you can do simple financial management or advanced and still get what you need with this software. > > **Cons**: Lately they have been going toward the business model competitors like Quicken use, where it feels like money grabbing rather than paying them for their great work. > > I have been able to manage finances much better using this program, being able to cash flow a wedding and my wife's certificate program thanks to the program's fantastic insight. ----- ### "Excellent application\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 September 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is very intuitive and well thought out. Entering and finding your information is very easy to do. Spend less time entering and more time keeping accurate records. > > **Cons**: The only real con is that it costs compared to GnuCash. However, there are some features of the interface that make using Moneydance easier than GnuCash. > > Moneydance makes keeping track of my accounts and expenses easy and I can see where I stand at a glance. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/177823/moneydance?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/177823/moneydance) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
