Frequently asked questions
Why switch from Simplifi by Quicken?
Most people switch because Simplifi by Quicken either requires bank access they do not want to share, misses recurring charges outside its ecosystem, or lacks proactive alerts. LemSubs adds renewal countdowns, refund-window deadlines, and seat audits without asking for banking credentials.
Can I migrate my data from Simplifi by Quicken?
Yes — LemSubs supports CSV import. Export your list from the current tool and import in a couple of clicks.
Is manual entry really enough?
Manual entry keeps you aware of every charge and removes the privacy risk of linking your bank. Combined with renewal alerts and refund-window countdowns, nothing slips through.
