Price Increase

Almost a 50% price increase in 2 years for JUST the subscription! This doesn't even include how much the price went up to process payroll!

 

What is going on with QB?  You can't talk to anyone, ever! IF you get a person, English is NOT their primary language. For QB desktop, I paid $566 in April 2022. Paid $822 in April 2023 and NOW these crooks want $949! I am so frustrated with this slimy, greedy company! And whom am I going to talk to? How is this fair????  Can anything be done?? Anyone have any other accounting software that doesn't take advantage of people?

Price Increase

We have used QB for over 22 years.

2005 - QB $217.40,  QB Payroll - $199.00

2024 - QB $649.00,  QB Payroll - $474.00  PLUS Employee Usage Fee

 - Remove the Scan Feature and INCREASE the rates!!  Way to go Intuit.  

These increases are absolutely ridiculous.  What can be done about this?

We hear you, @BBB11 and @gwynnMVP.

 

I understand how the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) price increase affected you. I'll share insights about the reasons for this.

 

The accountants with ProAdvisor Bundles that include Enhanced Payroll for Accountants will see a price change due to the QBDT Payroll price increase. Dimond customers are excluded from payroll price changes.

 

We'll continue to give you advance notice of any changes we make to your pricing. The main reason for this is to help more small businesses grow and thrive-and we've declared the goal that we will improve the success rate of all small businesses on our platform by 10% over the national average by 2025.

 

The QuickBooks platform provides tremendous value to small businesses with access to a connected, AI-driven expert platform that gives them access to capital, banking services, payroll, payments, and more of which combined have a direct impact on improving the success rate of small businesses around the world.

 

Additionally, the price increase only affects the United States. We will honor any special pricing throughout the duration of the promotion. Once the promo has lapsed, you will be informed of the price increase. 

 

At this time, there's no added cost based on the number of EINs managed by each subscription. The price increase aren't tied to a calendar schedule. All customers impacted by a price change are notified by email.

I'm in Canada and I received the price increase notice

Ridiculous! Where is my value added for this increase??  NONE

I love QBDT, I know it....I love it....but I can't believe the money grab over recent years.

$4 per employee???? why??  how does it cost you more for me to have a few extra employees????

 

Disgusting

 

and QBO - terrible!  Make some serious changes and I MIGHT consider switching.  Make it EXACTLY the same as Desktop and I MIGHT be on board

 

You are screwing up QBs....One of these days you will lose a lot of very loyal customers!

You can use QB Desktop Canada with a non subscription license + a 3rd party payroll app. You can register payroll expenses as JE in QB Desktop. Another option, use the trial version to access your historical data for good in QB Desktop ans start from scratch in a new program to lower your conversion costs.
