Desktop or Online? What's right for me?
QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, and Enterprise) and QuickBooks Online (Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced) are both made by Intuit, but they look, feel, and work quite differently.
Right now, about ½ of the country’s small businesses use QuickBooks Desktop. However, about 80% of businesses who buy QuickBooks today, choose QuickBooks Online.
SO, HOW DO I DECIDE WHAT’S RIGHT FOR ME?
Every business is unique and in most cases, we recommend getting advice from an expert before you decide. They can ask key questions and guide you to the right solution.
