There isn't really a contest between QuickBooks and any other accounting program when it comes down to value. QuickBooks simply offers the most features for the lowest price. But will you want to buy QuickBooks, QuickBooks Pro, or a QuickBooks Pro 5-User Value Pack?
If you need to track employee time spent on projects, or if you want to do estimates, bids, or advanced job costing, QuickBooks Pro is for you.
If you want the above, but have multiple users that need to access and manage parts of your financial data, purchase the QuickBooks Pro 5-user Value Pack.
Otherwise, buy the standard edition of QuickBooks. You'll never look back to your old accounting program.
