Just get the software you have working reliably. Turbo Tax is the same way but I don't have a choice because my returns are a PITA without being able to process the number of accounts and transactions. Sorry it's a bit rent-seeking, as it was for Quicken when they broke off from Intuit. But a continuing $50 or more (almost the full price of the standalone) every year?
Yes the convenience of aggregating all your accounts and producing an integrated view is worth something.
#Banktivity takes long to update securities archive
But it's easy enough just to go to the brokerage site to look them up, to download and archive them. What I won't have are the records of each transaction, though I could probably import them to a spreadsheet. I can do investment tracking on Google Sheets for free, with much more reliable securities prices updating than Banktivity. I don't think that justifies a annual $50 and above continuing charge. But the bulk of the development work has been done. Yes they can deliver incremental features and bug and security fixes. I'm not against paying subscriptions for sustaining development but I question whether there's much innovation left to bring in personal finance software. I generally don't like subscriptions, though I've been paying for Adobe Creative Cloud. Nothing about them is changing now, but they will no longer be developed and support will eventually be phased out. You can continue to stay on your current version of Banktivity if it is working for you. What if I want to stay on Banktivity 6 or Banktivity 7?
