While Simplifi and Quicken offer many similar abilities, such as automatically downloading and categorizing transactions, there are a few critical differences between the two.

The most notable difference is that Simplifi is a web and mobile app, meaning there isn’t a desktop application that needs to be installed. Instead, you can access Simplifi through any supported web browser or download the Simplifi Mobile App to use on your mobile device.

Simplifi is not the mobile version of Quicken — it's an entirely different personal finance app, designed for web and mobile, and is available to use on iOS, Android, and web platforms.

By comparison, the Quicken Mobile app offers mobile access to Quicken data for Quicken subscribers, and the Quicken Web app lets Quicken subscribers access their Quicken data from any computer with an internet connection. You have to be an existing Quicken desktop user in order to access the Quicken companion apps.

Both Quicken and Simplifi let you export your transaction history so you can have a picture of your income and expenses.

The privacy and security of your financial data is a top priority at all times. Quicken Inc. has been trusted by millions for our continually improving security measures for over 3 decades. We securely transmit data from your bank servers using robust 256-bit encryption. The information downloaded from your banks is confidential and used only to update your accounts.

Simplifi is for the U.S. only. Quicken products are intended for U.S. and Canada subscribers since we are only able to support banks from these regions at this time. For more information on Canadian products, please visit our Quicken Canada site.

For Simplifi users, you can share your finances with a spouse or significant other, an accountant, or even a friend, without sharing your login credentials. You can share your Space with one additional member who will have full read and write access to your Simplifi data.

Each member will need to create their own Quicken ID and password if they do not already have one. However, an additional Simplifi subscription is not required — just an invite from you! You need to use the web version to send out invitations and manage user access. Once they’ve accepted your invitation, they can use Simplifi on mobile or on the web.

Unfortunately, this feature is not available for Quicken products.
