quickbooks vs quicken?

Looking to see what software I should buy. Business is for home inspections, no employees. I just want something to help with tax time and record keeping and what not.

    QuickBooks is small business accounting software.

    Quicken is personal finance software.

    If you have a business, get QuickBooks.

    I use it for both my home business and at my full-time corporate job.

    The other answer is true, but here's a perspective - Quicken is basically for homeowners, or wage or salary earners who get W-2's and have some investments and deductions. It's more than just that but not a lot more. Quickbooks is made for running a business and is 100 times more robust. Even if you don't need all of it's features, it allows for expansion in the future.
