The new YNAB is a $50/year subscription vs $60 to buy a copy of YNAB 4 (now called classic).

YNAB 4 has been out for at least three years with no major updates. If find it hard to fathom how they can charge that much. $20/year I could understand...but $60?

I'll check out the new YNAB because I'm curious, but I plan to keep using YNAB 4.

I look at it the other way. Products don't usually charge enough to survive. Charge more, and survive, or die quickly from freeloaders. Shut up and take my money!

Do they no longer do the desktop client?

The page answers that:

But it's a subscription desktop app that accesses their cloud offering.

Why? Because Jesse says files are too hard; despite that being how YNAB classic works.

So... probably not what you've expected.

What is a good replacement for YNAB?
