The problem with all of them anymore is the following:

Do you own your software? If not, then do you really own your data?

Many fell into this pitfall with EvilCorp (aka Intuit who owns Quickbooks). Quickbooks used to be a no brainer. Couple hundred bucks for QB Pro software that you owned forever. Your license granted you the ability to have it installed on 3 computers at a time. As long as it was less than 3 years old you could subscribe to the payroll service (reasonably priced) and download bank statements.

This is the kind of product that should get cheaper over time. Small refinements here and there. But they recognized they cornered the market and they started upping the price. No one wanted to learn a new product and they wanted to be able to access their old data and they wanted to easily find an accountant that could work with their data so they kept using QB as it got more expensive. Then QB started switching to a subscription model and it got danged expensive. $1,000 plus annually for the same thing that used to be a couple hundred bucks for 3 years. And worst of all, you didn't own it. It literally quit working when your subscription was up even if you had the desktop version.

The people that updated their data file past the 2021 version now have to keep buying QB to access all of their old data.

I'm still on QB 2021. I wish I had stopped somewhere between QB 2012 and QB 2016. I don't intend to ever give Intuit another penny of my money. They have earned an enemy for life and I'll preach against them every chance I get.

If I ever have to give up on QB 2021 I'll probably try either GNUCash or Manager.io
