Are QB Online and QB Mac edition now more like QB Desktop?

Thanks for your interest with our program features, @skellerpope,

Finding the best product for your business is what we want for you. QuickBooks for Windows and QuickBooks for Mac are our desktop versions of our Intuit packages.

Our desktop features and processes are mostly similar. However, given that each edition uses different system requirements, there are some functions different from one another like for example its interface.

QuickBooks Pro is the basic version of our desktop software. To get to know more about the features you can enjoy with this program, compared to other desktop programs, see these links:

QB Desktop offers more features than QB Online. You may need an additional app to integrate with QB Online to have a similar function on QB Desktop (e.g assembly, multi warehouse). QB Desktop has similar features to QB Desktop Pro edition. Should you need more features, consider using QB Desktop Premier. You may get a one time license of QBD 2021 Premier for 1 user worth less than $500 thru a partner.

QuickBooks Desktop for Mac has continued to add features. There is more overlap but there are still some features that are only available on QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. Some that come to mind off the top of my head are multi currency, inventory assemblies, loans. I'm sure there are others. The Mac version doesn't work in the exact same way as QuickBooks Windows but it is similar.  You can experiment with the Trial version which you can download on www.qblittlesquare.com.
