What's the main difference between Quicken, Quickbooks, and Microsoft Money?

Question

I'm trying to see which would be best for personal use. I've had a little trouble in the past with Money because it doesn't seem to give much ease-of-use when it comes to refunds and/or rebates.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Quicken and Mocrosoft Money are simular. I think that Quicken is so much easier to use and has been compatable with all of my banks and credit unions sense I started useing it.

Quicken can be used for a small busienss but quickbook is ment for small business. They have several different verisions you can get and they all very in price. Quickbooks is for tracking sales and customers, track expenses and vendor, payroll and inventory.

Quicken is used for personal finances...like someone wanting to keep up with what they spend on a daily basis. Quickbooks is an Accounting Program used in small to medium businesses or home based businesses. Microsoft Money is also used for keeping track of personal finances. It's just a matter of personal preference as to which one you want to use...Quicken or Microsoft Money...to keep track of your spending, saving, and/or investments.

Answer 5

quckbooks is meant for business use. quicken and money are for personal use. I kinda liked Quicken when I used it, but now my favorite is AceMoney. It's a lot cheaper than both the others and updates are free.
You can also try it out for free and it's not a huge memory hog like others. Actually the "lite" version is free.
