Massive Price gouging/Increase for desktop customers!

Oh just wait... the price increases are just starting. I was paying around $550/yr for enhanced payroll + 1/direct deposit once I owned the software (around $250 every 3-4 years). Now, it's either Enterprise for $1830/year OR Online for even more... this is monopoly price gouging at it's best. FCC should get involved. A 250% annual price increase is shocking and should be illegal.

Unless more people complain to the FCC, BBB and anyone else that will listen, nothing will be done.

Yea, I think they're trying to raise the price of Desktop thinking that if they make it as expensive as Online then their customers will think Online is a reasonable alternative. Of course it's not, and they'll be disappointed when they switch.

I had experience with online QB with one of my payroll clients....and it is extremely difficult and tedious with certain industries that have many levels of employees, hrly rates...and more.... AND--- there is virtually NO personalizing anything to make it unique to your company.... you are STUCK with QB WAY  of doing things.

@WITLF 

If you don't need to run any add-ons (e.g QB Payroll), you have another option.

Here's how to push back.

Take a few minutes to file an antitrust complaint with the FTC.

Inuit leveraging accountants and bookkeepers to drive prices up for downstream customers and small business needs to stop.

This is really getting nuts how are small businesses supposed to afford this gouging? I just got my Payroll subscription renewal notice and it has doubled from last year from $1400 to $2800 !!!  this does NOT include the Quickbooks subscription itself, who knows what it will be this year !! I sure hope someone can do something its absurd !!

You can use a 3rd party payroll app to integrate with QB.

Patriot payroll is also a good option.
