Did you receive the email before Oct 2? $799 should be the old price. Now you have to pay $949

If you only need a single user to run QB Desktop, I have a better option but you will need switching to another payroll app (e.g stand-alone QB Payroll).

Totally concur - Last year my Qbks Pro Advisor fee was increased from $1,292 up to $1,781 - up a whopping 37.85%.  Now they have gone to annual fee for my 40 plus Qbks users to an annual fee of $570.  I used to be able to get them their annual payroll subscription for free, which was also a selling point for them to go with Qbks as their accounting software.  It was good!!! Not it very much turns me off.  I have been a Qbks Pro Advisor going back to 2000 and have paid them nearl $18k in annual fees.  Same way with the Intuio Pro Series tax software - been using them going back to around 2002 or so (whenever it was that they purchased my previous tax software) and it has been a very good tax software and you can easily upload your Qbks numbers into the tax software - but the past 7-8 years their annual price continues to increase to where the competition is now worth looking at - even if I have to enter the numbers manually.  Anyway, really  thinking it is time to look elsewhere.

You can use the trial version of QB Desktop for good to access your historical data. Then you can start from scratch in another program to lower your conversion costs.

I just received my renewal price and it is $1,999 for PAP. This is outrageous!!

That is a 40% increase from what I paid in Feb 2023 and yes this is outrageous! We need to stop talking about it and do something about it. Here is a website regarding Price Gouging State Statutes:

https://www.ncsl.org/financial-services/price-gouging-state-statutes#:~:text=In%20most%20states%2C%2....

I suggest we start encouraging others to contact their state attorney's office to see if there is a case for price gouging here. If we start making enough noise, there may be cause for Intuit to be held accountable for such egregious business practices!

Can you please tell me if you can see my reply with a link in it, because I believe Intuit may have not posted it?

Agree.  Support is mostly being passed around from one department or person to another and On Hold!   Mostly when I do get a real person, I can’t understand them.   Having a hearing loss and wearing hearing aids is not fun and when trying to get answers on valid questions, it is so frustrating. Cost goes up, but I can’t raise my prices or I loose my clients (even long-time clients which most of mine are).  Support is not a recording, pressing buttons.  Support is handled by REAL live people that give honest answers!

These price increases are SO unreasonable.  I am actively learning Xero so that I can migrate clients away from this horrible greed.  10% increase would be reasonable.....these are not.  The "improvements" do not justify it.  

I just found this old thread and thought I would update and add my objections to the others.  My proadvisor fee in 2024 was $999.  I have very few clients using quickbooks anymore.  I'm approaching 80 yrs old, still working, but my clients are selling their businesses, retiring, or dying.  I just found out my fee for 2025 has increased to $1,499.  Why?  I don't know.  I never even got a notice about the increase or what it entails.  This will most likely be my last year.  My software fees are going up and my income is going down.  I'm to a point that I mostly do individual tax returns.  I use Quickbooks for my own business and just a couple of other clients that use it, but those are bailing out too.  They don't like QBO and neither do I.  I think most of my business clients will be gone by 2026 and looks like I will be too.  I came to this website to see if I could find out what I am getting for my $1,499 and this thread is what I found.  Very sad.  I still don't have an answer or a plan for the future except to retire which I don't want to do but will have little choice.

When is your next renewal date?

September 2026

@jjwilsoncpa 

You renewed your license last month and you should wait until next August to consider your options. Ask your clients when their next renewal date is. Are any of them due to renew in the next few months? Perhaps I can share a way to reduce their renewal costs.
