Gotta love how QuickBooks is taking us all to the bank.  If you buy subscription for desktop it's 649.00.  The basic online version is 360.00, BUT.....  You can only back up your company with excel spreadsheets.  If you want to have back up and recovery, it'll cost you 1800.00.  WOW.  Now keep in mind, you can buy the 360.00 version and add a back up service, but.....  that back up service will cost you 180.00. So your REAL total for the basic quickbooks online is 360.00 + 180.00 = 540.00. Since quickbooks has a monopoly on the bookkeeping industry, you really have no choice.  Buy the inexpensive version and pray their online servers don't crash or pay 2 times that amount for the desktop version, which just keeps going up and up each year.

If you don't need to run any add-ons (e.g QB Payroll, QB Payment), you can use QB Desktop with a non subscription license.
