Cost over time
A subscription quotes you the month.
Here is the decade.
The same figures as the table on Pricing — drag the year to see where each one lands, and what you are left holding if you stop paying.

Prices and plan behavior as of August 2026. GlidePath is a $129 desktop license with the first year of maintenance included; another year is an optional one-time $39 payment any time. Skipping a renewal keeps the version you own working — that is the flat GlidePath line. Subscription tools were chosen at their lowest single-user tier, and each rate was re-checked against the vendor’s own page in August 2026. The bases differ and are listed on Pricing: Quicken Classic Deluxe publishes only a discounted first-year rate, so its line here is optimistic — a real five-year cost would be higher. Figures are list prices, not offers, and exclude tax.
