ClearCheckbook Money Management

Just doesn't work for my needs

I've been looking for a online personal finance management solution to replace Quicken. A critical feature for me is the estimated balance projection function (premium membership feature) that allows me to see when in the future I might have insufficient funds. This is all set up without having to create monthly budgets for spending that doesn't fluctuate from month to month. I love that I am not limited to balancing by accounts at home on one computer where Quicken is installed. ClearCheckbook has reports and budgets that are customizable like Quicken. While ClearCheckbook isn't as slick and doesn't have account aggregation like Mint or other financial apps, it is easy to use and free of ads.

just what i needed to organize my bills

For me it's a perfect alternative to Quicken. It does what I need it to do. I find it unusual that the people giving 1 stars are usually the ones rating the $4/mo fee to pay the people that took the time to create this. $4/mo is $0.13 per day. I think it'd be best to rate the program rated it based on the programs features and benefits and not how much it costs ($0.13 per day). I give 5 stars for the program features and benefits. I give 5 stars for the low cost too. Quicken costs more than $42/year and if you're still printing checks and not using an online billpay system then this may not be the right app for you. If you use your bank's billpay service then this will work well once you get used to using the software (easy learning curve) which is necessary for any new software.

Best

Best money manager application

Very easy to use, able to use with PC and phone.

Its the Best. Tried many latest apps, but Clearcheckbook provides many features which nope of the best interface apps can provide. The analytics are amazing. You can have many accounts from savings to credit card and cash. Good Apps like GOODBUDGET provides only one account which is not the case with the ClearCheckbook. ClearCheckbook its the best :)

Free version cannot enter PAYEES unless you subscribe to the upgrade. Bait and switch. This stinks.

Love this service! Keep it up!

This is not Quicken but it was meeting my needs now that I am retired. However, the program ran into some sort of a storage problem around 7/1/15 and now it is a mess. Lost a couple of accounts, etc. Now looking for a better online check recording service.

Site deleted all my entered transactions. Terrible.

No to clear for dep or editing but I guess as I use it more it might become more friendly user

So far,so good. NO major issues so far

Without warning, free version became very restricted and had to go to pay version to get features that I had used. Not a problem as it doesn't cost that much per year. Big problem is that pay version does not function as well as the original free version and I can get no reply from developer. Will not consistently show running balance, and the register orders entries by transaction date but recent transactions put some early transactions first and will not properly sort. I am looking for another app to replace this and will request a refund. No excuse for poor service when you buy a product.

change in format, terrible

COULDN'T CLEAR ACCOUNTS TO RESET

a little busy for a basic check book register that I was looking for. Plus, with the free version, one can not see a running balance day to day.

Maybe the paid version works well, but the free version doesn't cut it for me. Unable to figure out if multiple accounts are doable. No running balance so unable to project future balances. I'm going to sit with Quicken

Wouldn't use anything else. It's that good.

One of my all time favorite apps from the Chrome store. It is either free or pay, but I only need the free services. Amazed at how nicely it keeps track and with great accuracy. Definitely a helpful app.

I've used ClearCheckbook for years. No personal information to hand over, works well, and the free account will cover the needs of most basic users. The Android app is also great, and I love the fact that I can have all of my account balances and transactions available on any computer that I'm on. The only downside, and what I pulled a star for, is the fact that there is no such thing as offline access. If you don't have an internet connection you can't access your accounts.

Great App just wish it was free.

OK

I liked using it until it keeps displaying an error message about exceeding time limit acct non-super user? Now I can't access my financial records?

easy way to have an online check book

Too limited in the information it imports and requires a few to in order to be more flexible. You'd be better off buying a shareware program

I really like this but now they have put a message on there that says they are doing updates and it would only be a few hours and it would be back up and running. Since when did several days turn into a few hours. It has been down now 4 days. Please try to get it fixed

GREAT App! I Use it everyday!!!

Simple and straight forward program. Quick to set up and so easy to use.

need something to keep track of expenses, and this will... for $4/month or $42/year. useless if you don't want to pay for it?

Finally. I've been a quicken user for 15 years and have been looking for a cloud-based check register for many years now. My wife uses a Mac, I use a PC at work, also have an iphone and ipad... so I finally have a cross-platform, online all the time, way to balance the checkbook so my wife and I can both see and update the same information. I tried "mint" and "pocketsmith" and the like and to my amazement don't allow you to RECONCILE your account. That is the most important way to really know your balances. With all the atm charges, debit charges, and physical checks... unless you reconcile, you don't really know your balance if you share an account with someone. Love it... and thank you. --Roger in Delaware.

I love this service. This app, not so much. Why doesn't it go straight to your dashboard instead of the main page?

Perfect replacement for MS Money that operates in the cloud.
