The Most Critical Review Of Personal Finance Software

There are literally hundreds of products out there offering personal finance software and in order to reduce confusion and offer advice, I have written this article as a review of 3 of the most popular personal finance software products on the market. Keep in mind that there are other products available too so keep your mind open.

1. BankTree Personal – At $51, it is by far the most expensive product featured in this article and is generally disappointing in its features. While it has a user friendly interface and good financial calculators, it has extremely poor tax options which will be a drawback for many individuals and companies. Its support and documentation is fine but when compared to the 2 products below, it is relatively poor.

2. Microsoft Money Essentials – At just $19.99, it is the cheapest option out of the 3 featured in this article. It beats BankTree Personal in every feature especially in its tax options which are pretty good. It’s hard to identify any weaknesses with this product making it one of the best pieces of personal finance software available on the market today.

3. Quicken Starter Edition – Out of all the products presented in this article, this one comes out on top. While Microsoft offers good across-the-board features, Quicken offers excellent across-the-board features and this quality makes it standout above the rest. While it is priced at $29.99, you can be guaranteed that you are getting the best software on the market.

I sincerely hope that this review has been able to shed some light on the best personal finance software available on the market today.
