Quicken offers deal for jilted Microsoft Money users

Intuit, maker of Quicken personal finance software, now has a deal offering up to $50 for users of Microsoft Money, who learned earlier this month that their product was being discontinued. Microsoft said it would stop selling downloads after June 30.

Quicken is now the biggest, but not the only game in town if you still want to download your financial information rather than parking it on a server. For a rundown of several downloadable and server-based products, click here.–Tobie Stanger

While Intuit is to be applauded for reaching out to Money users, their pricing isn't very attractive. They are offering Quicken Deluxe 2009 for $39.99 ($20 off the MSRP of $59.99), however, the exact same version is only $29.99 at Amazon and numerous other online retailers.

I will recommend using Desktop Budget to manage personal finances and my investment portfolio. Its the best, free, offline personal finance software I have seen so far.

Amazon's price may be $10 lower but Intuit are offering a free Quicken WillMaker Pro 2009 (worth $79.99) at

According to the website, Desktop Budget Lite is free, but the full featured program that is comparable to Quicken is $24.95.
