Moneydance 2015.6 – Speed, Stability, and Archiving

I hope you’re ready for the sixth update to Moneydance 2015! There’s a long list of changes, all of which are listed after the break. As always, we welcome your feedback as we work to make Moneydance the best software for managing your money.

If you’ve purchased Moneydance 2014 or 2015, then this update is completely free. Anyone who purchased an older version of Moneydance gets a stupendous 50% off the regular price when upgrading through the website; just a small thank you for being a loyal customer. As usual, we never force you to upgrade Moneydance: old versions will continue working for just as long as you like. We never “sunset” features or services, so if you purchase Moneydance you won’t end up on a never-ending upgrade treadmill.

We invite you to download Moneydance 2015, or upgrade from a previous install. If you don’t mind a few minor restrictions (such as not having the extension/plugin installer) you can even purchase Moneydance on the Mac App Store once this update has made its way through the review process.
