I have been using Xero but it has got too expensive. Before Xero I used Moneydance for a number of years and have decided to return to it. Should I start again or just continue from where I left off in 2023?

   That is really up to you, what you want to achieve and how much effort you are willing to put into it.

   So better to just continue with what is there or download from xero?

   Again I cannot answer that question for you, it really does depend on what you want to get out of Moneydance, what level of history you want etc.

   What I would do is likely to be different from the next person. I can only answer such a question from my own perspective, as I do try not to put a personal position on the questions I answer I tend to avoid voicing an opinion on such things.

   Hi Lance,
   Thank you for contacting Moneydance support.

   To import data into Moneydance from another financial program, you need to be able to export QIF files. Since Xero doesn’t support QIF export, your best option is to continue with the data you already have or start fresh.

   I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.
