If you don't need to run any add-ons, switch to old QB Desktop with a non subscription license.

I just received the same notification for the price increase from $47 to $70, a 49% increase. I agree with DW - this is a ripoff. I've also been tracking the increases for the last three years for combined Desktop Pro/Payroll/Employee:

2022->2023: 16.4%

2023->2023 (two months): 4.7%

2023->2024: 13.5%

2024->2025: 49%

In 2023 they added a fee for each employee ($2) and then doubled this in 2024. Overall, my subscription has increased by 38% since 2022, far ahead of inflation. An now a 49% increase. I've been getting the same message each time to justify the increases "The price above reflects the value the product provides and takes into account other offerings that are comparable in the marketplace.

Price changes enable us to constantly reinvest in our ecosystem of products and services that help you take charge of your finances, understand your money - and manage your whole business."

I don't see any significant improvements year to year to justify these increases. I'm cancelling my subscription before the increase comes into effect. This is ridiculous.

Then you can use the trial version to access your historical data for good.

100% agree. What a shameful company they are. The amount their prices have increased in the last 5 years is staggering. What other options do we have. I'd love to drop these assholes.

It was already announced that the Desktop program is not available anymore to new customers. So this entire response was nothing but hot air.

What announcement do you mean? You can still purchase a new QB Desktop Enterprise license. You can also use old QB Desktop with a non subscription license.
