Quicken made an announcement today promoting the release of a new product line for 2018. This new Quicken 2018 release introduces a new membership model for Quicken users. Instead of paying for an annual upgrade for the Quicken software, users now pay a membership fee for a 12 to 24 month subscription to the product. The new subscription pricing is somewhat different from the old model and has several advantages including continuous upgrades, full-term access to features, priority customer support, and more.

The full press release is quoted below and can be accessed in its original form here.

MENLO PARK, Calif. – Oct. 23, 2017 – Continuing the momentum since becoming a standalone company, Quicken Inc. announces its 2018 releases of Quicken for Windows and Mac users. With the updated product line, both offerings deliver on the company’s commitment to revitalizing Quicken. They include improved online bill management, new investment features, and simpler upgrades with Quicken’s membership program, which provides automatic access to the latest versions. From staying on top of finances to managing investments, the 2018 releases of Quicken help customers manage their finances at every stage of life.

1. QuickBooks for Mac is financial accounting solution from Intuit for small businesses and accounting professionals. The solution allows users to create professional invoices, track sales and expenses, and manage accounts payable.
2. Even though Quickbooks does not offer an upgrade discount anymore, you can still take advantage of the same 70% off offer as new customers get when you pick up the new QuickBooks 2018 for Mac at the Intuit Store.
3. I just upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and learned that my Quicken Essentials is not compatible. I don't want to buy Quicken 2017 if it's about to be obsolete and won't get a free upgrade to 2018? Anyone have any idea when 2018 might be released or whether buying now will make me eligible for a free 2018?

Expanded Mac capabilities
For the first time ever, Mac users now have access to a choice of products, including Quicken Starter, Quicken Deluxe, and Quicken Premier. This gives Mac users more flexibility to choose the offering that best suits their specific financial needs.
