Is AccountEdge Worth Considering as a QuickBooks Alternative?

[Rosco]

I’ve been seeing more clients who need to move to QuickBooks Online, as QuickBooks Desktop is being phased out for their use case. A few have switched and like it, but others try it for a month or two, then go back to what they know. I explain the risks of running outdated accounting software, but some owners remain determined to stay with it.

This week, I encountered a new one for me: AccountEdge. It seemed straightforward, and their support add-on cost about $10 a month. Support was also genuinely helpful in addressing a minor issue we encountered on-site.

For those of you who support small business accounting setups, do any of you see AccountEdge as a solid alternative to QuickBooks long term? If not, what other accounting platforms are you recommending and are supporting these days?

Certainly a money saver for small businesses that want to stop getting extorted by Intuit lol. Most of my small business clients are very small. Maybe 2-4 computers in most cases that need to access quickbooks. Looks like this may be a good recommendation for an alternative.

To be honest though when I have this conversation with any of them...I think they just want to grumble to me about it and then they just keep what they know lol. Intuit knows people don't like change so they want to extort as much money as they can get away with.
