In fact, I used the exact same QIF export file for Moneydance that I used for iBank. The process here is identical to what I went through for iBank. Thus, I took the plunge… Getting your data out of Quicken However, I had read enough reviews that I was convinced that Moneydance was the next best option on my list. A limit of 100 transactions really isn’t enough to thoroughly test out the software, and I thought twice about even giving it a shot. Given that Moneydance costs $50 (though you can easily get a $10 discount more below) I wasn’t too crazy about this highly restrictive trial. Unlike iBank, which has a 30 day free trial, Moneydance has a free trial that is limited to 100 manually-entered transactions. So… I next turned my attention to Moneydance from The Infinite Kind and crossed my fingers that I wouldn’t need to go further down my list of Quicken alternatives. I’m a bit of a power user when it comes to tracking investments, and the reporting features (and lack of a true portfolio view) were deal killers for me. In short, iBank is a solid option, but it’s not right for me. On Monday I talked about my experiences moving from Quicken to iBank.
