So ... perhaps there should be a version of Quickbooks that serves the simpler needs of smaller customers better?
Like: Simple. Desktop. Requires no upgrades as long as its functionality at-time-of-purchase continues to serve well. No forcing of upgrades via dropping of old formats, etc.
I also have given up on Quickbooks.
- jimnotgym 3y agoImagine you were relying on Quickbooks, and a major taxation change, like the European VAT OneStopShop came out. How would you deal with that without updates? What about the UKs Making Tax Digital, that would be tricky too. That wasn't the point I was discussing, but there is an answer anyway.
- Nevermark 3y agoCertainly charging for upgrades with useful new and critical functionality is reasonable. But reasonableness would also price even critical functionality relative to how hard it was to actually implement. I.e. don't hold hostage a customers' investments in a software product. Don't force customers to pay a ransom to get a simple-to-implement feature.
