We've been using QB for years, and switched to the online version about 18 months ago. Had the $50/mo plan; I think that was the top of the line version at the time. About 2 months ago, found out the price was going to $60/mo... I thought, OK, nbd.

Within the last few weeks, I saw emails from QB about outgrowing my plan, and upgrade soon to save 50% for 3 months. I thought it was simply an up-sell for a new feature/service, so I ignored it, until I read today's email a little closer.

It looks like they've imposed limits on the number of certain items you can have: chart of accounts, SKUs, customers/contacts, etc. Our SKU count was what put us over the new limit. The new price... $150/month!

Instead of grandfathering people in for the old pricing structure, they're making everyone pay the new rates! I called customer service, and after listening to their scripted responses about ALL the new features I'd be enjoying, they basically confirmed, my price will be tripling.

So, I'm currently weighing our options. The front runner move is: F*** them, we'll find something else.... But it would be quite a task for us to migrate.

Anyone else having luck with other accounting software?
