What is Reddit's opinion of Banktivity?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

FYI for everyone afraid of the subscription, I think the way they are marketing it has confused the situation. If you want to upgrade to Banktivity 8 and get all future bug fixes, then pay for the upgrade and cancel the renewal.

After 1 year you'll lose the priority support and Direct Access, but you'll have Banktivity 8, and will continue to receive bug fixes.

It's a one-time upgrade charge, just like Banktivity 7 was.

You can hear this straight from Ian, if you listen to the last 5 minutes or so of https://www.banktivity.com/videos/banktivity8/MasterClass1.mov

Thanks for sharing. I admire your openness.

I moved to Vancouver a couple of years ago and started tracking all my finances from the very beginning just like you. Inspired by similar posts like this [1] and this [2] I also wanted to post my data analysis, but I always end up thinking about the data privacy implications of doing that.

I used Banktivity [3] for some time, but then switched to my own finance tracker which I developed last year as a personal project. I hope to turn it into a commercial product some time in the future, and posts like yours keep me motivated to do that because they show there is a market for personal finance tracking and budgeting.

I’m running both macOS and iPadOS versions of B8 right now. The macOS version is very solid; iPadOS has one or two niggles but nothing major wrong with it. macOS beta is here: https://www.banktivity.com which I’m running under Big Sur.
