How do I switch desktop subscription from annual to monthly

aconroy@conroyas · ‎December 29, 2025

Not only has Intuit increased the price of desktop by 162% over the last five years, they are charging for the entire year at once. Online can be billed monthly. How do I transfer my desktop to a monthly subscription? It's bad enough that Intuit is "punishing" desktop users with price gouging because we refuse to use an inferior product, but that kind of price increase being charged up front is total BS!!! And I don't even use the payroll!

Hello there, aconroy.

In QuickBooks Desktop, the option to switch from an annual to a monthly subscription plan is currently unavailable.

To help you manage your subscription, I recommend contacting our Live Support team. They can assist you with processing your request and guide you through the steps for switching your billing cycle. Here's how:

Open QuickBooks Desktop.
Go to the Help menu and click QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us. It will open the Help window.
Tip: You can also press F1 on your keyboard to open the Help window.
Use the Search questions, keywords, or topics bar to enter your question.
Select Contact Us to connect with an expert.

If you have additional concerns, reply here. We’ll address them as soon as possible.

You have QB Desktop Pro Plus for single user, correct? You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA directly via email, and they can help you pay your subscription fee every three months to ease your cashflow. You can also get $200 cashback to reduce your total cost.
