Moneyspire editions

You can evaluate the entire set of features of the personal finance manager during a 14-days free trial, without any other restrictions. Afterward, Moneyspire reverts to a free edition by locking some of its options. Therefore, once the 2 weeks are up, you can either get a software license or stick to the freeware version.

In Moneyspire Free, you can’t use more than 1 account, 5 bill reminders, 5 budget categories, 3 saved reports, report of the last 6 months, and the budget of the last 6 months. Also, the following features are locked: advanced search, data import and export, file attachments, bank, and cloud synchronization, along with customer invoices.

One-time payment licenses are up for grabs when it comes to Moneyspire Standard (all features but without customer invoices) and Moneyspire Pro (all features, including customer invoices). You will also receive a 90-days money-back guarantee, no matter which type of license you choose.

How to install Moneyspire

Besides reviewing and accepting the license terms, you can modify the default setup folder and create a desktop shortcut. The remaining installation doesn’t take long, after which you can launch Moneyspire immediately.

In the welcome wizard, you can use a quick wizard to set up the initial Moneyspire environment, open a demo file to explore the finance manager, open an existing file, or restore contents from a backup file.

Moneyspire interface

As far as the user interface is concerned, Moneyspire has a good-looking main window with a neatly structured layout. Separate panes give you access to Overview, Accounts, Reminders, Budget, Reports, and Invoices.

The interface can be fully customized when it comes to color, font, data locations, sorting mode, register column order, start page, and other details. For example, you can instruct the tool to auto-mark as cleared when adding a new transaction.

Moneyspire vs Quicken and Moneydance

If you can’t decide between Moneyspire, Quicken and Moneydance, perhaps we can shed some light on that matter. Compared to Quicken, Moneyspire doesn’t have credit score monitoring, retirement planning or Zillow tracking features. On the other hand, Moneyspire offers free trials and cheaper pricing plans than Quicken.

While Moneyspire offers a time-limited free trial with all features unlocked, Moneydance doesn’t give you the possibility to enter more than 100 transactions. On the bright side, Moneydance has a flat rate for home and business users.

A great financial manager for individuals and small businesses

Taking everything into account, Moneyspire turns out to be an excellent software product for managing business and personal finance accounts within the same program. It’s wrapped in a user-friendly interface and has intuitive options. You don’t need to be an accountant to figure out how you can use it to your advantage.

And, if you can’t afford the Standard or Pro versions, Moneyspire Free is enough for most users with one account.
