Why Quicken Users Switch to SheetLink
Expensive Annual Subscriptions
Quicken Simplifi: $50/year. Quicken Deluxe: $60/year. Premier: $90/year. Home & Business: $180/year. Every year. Forever.
Data Lock-In
Your financial data is trapped in Quicken's proprietary format. Want to switch? Export to QIF/CSV and pray it works. Your data should be YOURS.
Desktop Software Required
Install Quicken on Windows or Mac. Update it regularly. Can't access your finances from a Chromebook or friend's computer. It's 2026—why desktop software?
