a simple Quickbooks Pro question
« on: December 09, 2011, 09:33:42 PM »
Is there an annual fee to use Quickbooks Pro? I always thought Quickbooks Pro was a stand alone program but I'm being told there is a $300 annual fee just to use the program. Is this correct?

The desktop version? No.

The program would only cost that if you were to upgrade to the new version every year with a 2-user license.


The "Online Essentials" web version is about $300 a year for a subscription.

I might add...

There are many add-on features to the desktop version that can increase the yearly cost substantially. (some of which you'd think should be included in the original cost)

This may be what you're talking about? (Pro "Plus")
