On The Prowl for an Alternative to Quicken for Mac?

Now that Lion is out and many Mac users are downloading and upgrading, what Applications will be left in the dust? You might consider iBank for your financial management software needs. Here is some information on the topic from the IGG Software site:

 

Here's why full-featured iBank 4 is the best choice for your next personal finance manager:

  • Mac OS X 10.7-ready: iBank 4 is fully compatible with the newest Mac OS X, Lion.
  • Easy setup: iBank's setup assistant simplifies importing all of your transactions, accounts, categories and investments from Quicken for Mac - or PC! (note: iBank does not use classes).
  • All kinds of accounts: Track your savings, checking, credit cards, loans, mortgages and investment accounts... see balances at a glance.
  • Bank downloads: Get your transaction data quickly via Direct Connect from most major financial institutions, or use iBank’s integrated browser to download from your bank’s website (online bill pay isn't supported at this time).
  • Categorize everything: Create category hierarchies, assign categories or sub-categories to each transaction, or split transactions for more detailed tracking.
  • Generate powerful reports: Create beautiful, detailed reports on account balances, income and expense, investments, net worth and more (note that report template selection differs from Quicken's).
  • Reconciliation: Use this powerful feature to reconcile bank statements and maintain exact balances with minimum hassle.
  • Full-featured investment support: Track buys, sells, dividends and more; review security prices over time; analyze portfolio performance with powerful investor reports (note that iBank cannot import security price histories from Quicken).
  • iOS sync: Use iBank Mobile (sold separately) to enter transactions on the go and sync with iBank from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
  • One version, worldwide: Use multiple currency support to create accounts in different currencies and apply exchange rates to transfers.
  • Better organization: Use account groups and smart accounts to keep your finances organized at a glance.
  • Choose your budget: iBank 4 offers both traditional and envelope-style budgets.
  • More flexible file import: iBank imports data in OFX, QFX, QIF or CSV formats for both new and existing accounts.**
  • Integrated web browser: Access, view and download transactions from bank websites without leaving iBank.
  • File attachments: Attach documents, images, PDFs, statements or receipts to transactions, then review them in Cover Flow.
  • Built-in camera integration: Use your Mac's iSight or FaceTime camera to quickly attach photos to transactions.
  • Category images & background colors: Customize your data for easy review.
  • 64-bit optimization: Take full advantage of your Mac's processing power.
  • *Quicken Essentials is Lion-compatible, but lacks true investment support, QIF export and many other key features found in iBank 4.
    **Quicken can import QFX into existing accounts and QIF when creating new accounts.
