QuickBooks vs Quicken comparison. While Quickbooks is intended for small business owners, Quicken is for use by individuals. Quickbooks is preferable if you run a small business with multiple accounts, need to handle sales or payrolls, or are based in countries where Quicken is unavailable. For example, new Quicken for the Mac versions haven't been released quite as frequently as Quicken for Windows. And a wider array of QuickBooks versions are available for Microsoft Windows (Pro, Premier, Enterprise) than for the Mac.
