Free Alternatives to Quicken (Simplifi & Classic)

Wealthfolio

Closest replacement

Best for: Privacy-conscious long-term investors looking for portfolio, net-worth, spending, and retirement-planning workflows in a local database they control.

• Wealthfolio best matches the base workflow on portfolio tracking, portfolio analytics, and long-term portfolio tracking.
• Wealthfolio adds a free starting point that the base tool does not show. Free-plan limits: The AGPL-3.0 core app is free, uses pay-what-you-want downloads, and does not require an account.

Watch for: No native Android app: Native Android is planned but not available. Android users currently need the progressive web app from a self-hosted Wealthfolio instance.

Marketlog

Best workflow fit

Best for: Retail investors who need manual or broker-connected portfolio tracking, dividends, goals, forecasts, benchmarks, and sharing.

• Marketlog best matches the base workflow on portfolio tracking, portfolio analytics, and long-term portfolio tracking.
• Marketlog adds a free starting point that the base tool does not show. Free-plan limits: Signup required. Free supports unlimited portfolios, holdings, and transactions with manual tracking, 3 goals per portfolio, a 3-item watchlist, and 5 years of price history.

Watch for: Not a broker or adviser: Marketlog tracks and analyzes portfolios but does not execute trades, provide fiduciary advice, or act as an exchange.

Portfolio Performance

Quality-checked pick

Best for: Cost-sensitive investors looking for local-first desktop portfolio accounting, TTWROR/IRR performance, multi-currency support, imports, exports, and rebalancing without sending broker credentials to a SaaS app.

• Portfolio Performance best matches the base workflow on portfolio tracking, portfolio analytics, and long-term portfolio tracking.
• Portfolio Performance adds a free starting point that the base tool does not show. Free-plan limits: Official desktop site describes Portfolio Performance as open source software for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Watch for: Desktop-first workflow: The core product is a desktop application. The mobile app is primarily a companion for viewing the portfolio file.

Ghostfolio

Strong runner-up

Best for: Privacy-conscious users looking for an open-source portfolio and net-worth dashboard they can self-host.

• Ghostfolio best matches the base workflow on portfolio tracking, portfolio analytics, and long-term portfolio tracking.
• Ghostfolio adds a free starting point that the base tool does not show. Free-plan limits: Self-hosted open-source use is free.

Watch for: Self-hosting has operational burden: The self-hosted option requires running and maintaining your own Ghostfolio instance and data setup; managed Basic is also free.
