✓

- Annual subscription includes free updates and mobile app access
- Best for individuals and families who want to track spending and grow their net worth
What Is Quicken Deluxe?
Quicken Deluxe is the most popular tier in the Quicken product lineup. It sits above Quicken Starter and below Quicken Premier. It handles budgeting, bank sync, bill tracking, investment monitoring, and reporting. Available on Windows and Mac.
Who Is Quicken Deluxe For?
Quicken Deluxe is ideal for individuals and families who want more than basic expense tracking. It is a good fit if you have investment accounts you want to monitor, bills you want to track in one place, or want detailed spending reports. It is not necessary if you only need basic budgeting (Quicken Starter suffices) or have complex rental property needs (Quicken Home and Business is better).
