I'm looking for tips on a good Mac money management program to replace Quicken for Mac 2007. With Intuit's new Mac release this week being a big disappointment and my general disappointment with Quicken in general I'm searching for a new alternative. I'm just doing basic downloading, reconciling and budgeting. Quicken is like an overpowered (and overpriced) Mercedes. OTH I don't want some POS Chevy. A Honda or Toyota equivalent is just right (to overuse a car metaphor).
We spent over 60 hours testing 20 personal finance apps and programs to find the best budgeting and money management tools. Our choice for the best personal finance software is Quicken Premier. It combines the best budgeting tools with easy-to-use tax reporting. We spent over 60 hours testing 20 personal finance apps and programs to find the best budgeting and money management tools.

A Honda or Toyota equivalent is just right (to overuse a car metaphor). So far I'm looking at MoneyDance and MoneyWell. Click to expand.I used Quicken for Windows up to about a year ago. (I found the Mac Quicken unacceptable, even before the latest fiasco). Switched to MoneyDance. I won't say I find it great, but it is acceptable for my purposes. In some ways I don't find MoneyDance as nice as Quicken for Windows.

Its reporting options are very slim (notably for investments), and split transactions are slightly awkward, to name two; there are others. But it means that I don't have to start up VMWare to run it. That's a big plus. And unlike Quicken essentials, it does print checks, track investment transactions (albeit with poor reporting options), and make backup copies of its data file, all of which are pretty 'essential' to me. It also means I don't have to put up with Intuit plastering ads all over my screen and generally seeming to put more effort into getting me to buy further products instead of actually doing the job of the one I already bought (including their forced obsolescence game of forcing you to buy new versions, even though they don't provide anything new that is actually useful, if you want to continue connecting to banks.). Much appreciate these and other reviews of Mac money management software. I'm still using Quicken for Mac 2004 (version 13.0.1) running under Tiger (10.4.11) with approaching 20 years of cumulative data in 20 accounts with 40 or 50 categories.
So far, Quicken 2004 has been fully reliable in doing what I want: no downloads or uploads, other online interactions, or check printing (though the capability for some of these is supposedly there) -- just a solid financial database with hand entry of all data into those 20 accounts, excellent command completion when doing those entries, and (important) reasonably powerful report generation. I have no desire to change or add new capabilities; will be very happy if I can just keep those capabilities, and not have to learn any new interfaces or formats.
So, will appreciate any further feedback, especially on: * Whether Quicken 2004 is likely to continue to function OK under Leopard or Snow Leopard (which I'm likely to have to convert to sometime soon)? * If not, what other products are closest in spirit to this older version of Quicken?
