Quicken vs Worthy FAQ
Is Quicken still a one-time purchase?
No - Quicken moved to subscriptions in 2018. Quicken Classic Deluxe renews at $59.88/year and Premier at $95.88/year, and if you stop paying, bank downloads and sync stop working. Worthy is what Quicken used to be: pay once ($16.99), own it forever.
How is Worthy different from Quicken?
Quicken is a full accounting suite - transactions, budgets, bills, investments, taxes - built for the desktop. Worthy does one thing: net worth tracking, on your phone, with a 60-second setup. No registers to reconcile, no data file to back up, no categories to maintain.
Can Worthy replace Quicken for net worth tracking?
Yes. You add your accounts, loans, and holdings once, and Worthy keeps stock and crypto values current automatically while you update balances whenever you like. If you rely on Quicken's transaction registers, budgeting, or tax reports, keep Quicken for those - many people use Worthy alongside it just for the wealth picture.
Does Worthy have Quicken's sync and data-file problems?
No, because there's nothing to sync. Worthy doesn't connect to banks or maintain a desktop data file - your data lives on your device, so there are no broken connections to repair and no corrupted files to restore.
