Software as a service

Quicken Online is a free, hosted solution (see software as a service) by Intuit. Quicken Online helps newly financially independent individuals meet their basic personal finance needs and make the most of what they have paycheck to paycheck. Intuit hosts all of the user's data, and provides patches and regularly upgrades the software automatically. Initially this was launched as a monthly paid subscription, but is now released as a free service.
