Mint would actually be a great counterpart to Quicken. But once you start to get a complicated grown-up financial life, it runs out of gas fast. If you're 20 or 25 years old and have super-simple finances, and if you don't mind going to another site, like your bank's, to pay your bills (or if you do so with paper checks), then Mint can help you make sense of your money.

It will tell you where your cash is going and how to save money, but it doesn't handle stocks ( see Cake Financial), bills, long-term planning, or taxes. Quicken also has a budgeting tool where users can see their monthly expenses, find potential areas to save and create a personalized budget. Best simple tools for managing budget, household expenses, and financial outlook. But in terms of the variety of options for reporting and personalization, YNAB is the clear winner.

No online product does everything it does: balance your checkbook, pay your bills, track your stocks (including stock options and other vehicles), calculate your mortgage payments, budget for your retirement, integrate with tax planning products, and so on. My version of Quicken crashes when I look at it cross-eyed, and that's a scary thing in a program that holds so much personal data in a format that no other product-except the only slightly less-hated Microsoft Money-can read. I've been using Quicken for 17 years, and the product has been getting worse each year (there have been some good years, but Quicken sees to it that you can't stand pat when you get a good version).

Quicken 2007 (the version I use I read that 2008 is similar) suffers from all the worst possible flaws of desktop software: It's slow, loaded with features, and unreliable. If you are redeeming the free Quicken Starter product through the purchase of TurboTax, and you are currently in an active Quicken subscription and not within 6 months of your renewal date, you will have to return to this page within 6 months of renewal in order to redeem. If youre looking to transition away from Quicken but worry about losing all your data, you can feed it your Quicken file and itll populate itself. Founded in mid-2012, it is one of the only personal finance apps that will import data from Quicken (and Mint). Neither product can be considered a serious solution for personal finance. The founders built CountAbout to be a Quicken alternative.
