Quicken Classic for Mac is the best home accounting software for a Mac if you also run a side business or rental. Quicken says it is built exclusively for Mac, runs natively on Apple Silicon and stores data locally. Deluxe connects checking, savings, cards, loans, investments and retirement accounts from over 14K institutions, builds a budget from your actual income and spending, reconciles against bank statements and produces tax reports for schedules A, B and D. Premier adds investment tools, bill pay and Zillow home values. Business and Personal adds invoicing, mileage logging, rental property accounting and business reports including profit and loss and Schedules A to F. Tax data exports to TurboTax. The prices Quicken shows, from $6.99 a month billed annually, are first-year offers for new members, and renewals are charged at the then-current price. It is not a double-entry business ledger, so a company with employees or inventory should look at AccountEdge or a cloud tool.
Who it is for
Households and self-employed people who want home and small business money in one native Mac app.
Price
Classic Deluxe for Mac $6.99 per month billed annually (first-year offer); Premier $7.99, Business and Personal $10.99.
