ProperConvert Review 2026: Pricing, Cost, and QIF to QBO

ProperConvert costs $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year for one user on one device, and $49.98 a month or $449.97 a year for a three device team license. It is the single app ProperSoft now sells, and it replaced the per-format converters the company used to publish, including QIF2QBO. It reads PDF, CSV, Excel, text, QBO, QFX, OFX, QIF, QMTF and MT940 files and writes QBO, QFX, OFX, QIF, IIF, QBJ, CSV and Excel, all of it locally on a Windows PC or a Mac. The thing most buyers arrive not knowing is that the old one time license is gone.

Last updated September 9, 2026. ProperConvert prices, plan names, device counts and format lists were read the same day from propersoft.net and propersoft.net/pricing/. The status of the retired per-format products was checked directly against propersoft.net the same day.

What happened to QIF2QBO?

QIF2QBO is no longer sold as a separate product. ProperSoft consolidated its per-format converters into one app called ProperConvert, and the old product page at propersoft.net/qif2qbo/ now returns a 404. The ProperSoft homepage lists ProperConvert alone, with no separate CSV2QBO, Bank2QBO or QIF2QBO alongside it.

That matters more than a URL change, because the old products were sold as one time licenses in the $40 to $60 range. ProperConvert is a subscription. If you bought QIF2QBO years ago, went looking for it again this year and could not find it, that is why.

How much does ProperConvert cost?

ProperConvert costs $19.99 a month or $179.99 a year on the Complete plan, which covers one user on one device. The Team Complete plan covers three users or devices at $49.98 a month or $449.97 a year, and adds unlimited premium support. Enterprise licensing is quoted individually. ProperSoft states the yearly plans save $60 and $150 respectively against paying monthly.

Every plan includes all of the converters, all of the formats, unlimited pages and statements, and free updates. There is no cheaper tier that only does QIF to QBO, which is the part that surprises people converting a single file. ProperSoft says you can cancel or switch plans at any time, and its refund wording is conditional rather than open ended: "If there is an issue with software you purchased, please contact us within 14 days from the order date...the issue will be fixed, or you will get 100% of your money back." Read that as a defect warranty, not a change of mind window.

Is ProperConvert a one time purchase?

No. ProperConvert is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription, with no perpetual license on the pricing page. This is the biggest change from the old ProperSoft lineup, where each converter was a one time purchase that kept working after you stopped paying. The cheapest way in today is $19.99 for a single month.

For someone who converts files every month, the yearly plan at $179.99 is reasonable for what the software does. For someone who needs one QIF file turned into a QBO once, before an accountant's deadline, a $19.99 minimum for a job that takes ninety seconds is the wrong shape of pricing, and it is the main reason people go looking for something else.

What file formats does ProperConvert read and write?

ProperConvert reads PDF bank statements including scanned ones, CSV, Excel in both .xlsx and .xls, plain text, and the financial formats QBO, QFX, OFX, QIF, QMTF and MT940. It writes QBO Web Connect, QFX Web Connect, OFX, QIF, IIF, QBJ, CSV and Excel, and can copy transactions to the clipboard. That is the widest format list of any tool in this category, and it is the honest reason to buy it.

Read that table honestly and ProperConvert wins two rows outright. It reads PDF and Excel, which we do not, and for a single person converting regularly on their own laptop it is cheaper per year than our entry plan. If you have a stack of PDF statements rather than a QIF export, ProperConvert is a straightforwardly better fit and you should buy it.

Where it stops working is at the edges of that model. The license is per device, so a bookkeeper who moves between an office desktop and a laptop is buying the team plan to cover themselves. Nothing installs on a Chromebook or on a locked down work machine where you do not have administrator rights. And there is no API, so a practice that wants conversion to happen inside an existing workflow rather than by hand has to keep a person in the loop. Firms that reach that point usually stop looking for a better converter and start looking at how to connect the systems directly instead.

Does ProperConvert work on Mac?

Yes. ProperSoft publishes builds for both Windows and Mac, and the same license covers either, though it covers one device at a time on the Complete plan. The conversion happens on your own computer rather than on a server, which the company summarizes as running with "no cloud since 2008."

Is ProperConvert safe to use with bank statements?

ProperConvert processes files locally on your machine, so statement data is not uploaded to a server during conversion. For anyone under a client confidentiality obligation, or working with a firm policy against uploading financial documents, that local-only design is a genuine advantage and the clearest reason to prefer installed software over a web tool.

The trade is the one every desktop app makes. Local processing means installation rights, per device licensing, and updates you have to accept. If your policy is the opposite, that no unapproved software may be installed on a work machine, then a browser tool is the only option available to you and the privacy argument runs the other way.

Can ProperConvert convert QIF to QBO for QuickBooks Online?

Yes. QIF is on its input list and QBO Web Connect is on its output list, so the conversion the old QIF2QBO product did is still available inside ProperConvert. The output is a Web Connect file, which QuickBooks Online accepts through the manual upload path and matches like a bank download.

This matters because QuickBooks Online will not take a QIF at all. Intuit's own upload page lists .qbo, .qfx, .ofx, .csv and .txt as the accepted extensions and recommends .qbo above the others. QIF is not on the list, on any plan, which is why a conversion step exists in the first place. Our own walkthrough of that upload path is in QIF to QuickBooks Online.

Does ProperConvert have a free trial?

ProperConvert is free to download and try. The trial lets you load your files and preview every transaction, and create a test import file, but you subscribe before you get a production file you can actually import. So the trial answers "will it read my statement" rather than "can I finish this job today."

That is a reasonable way to run a trial for a tool people buy repeatedly, and a frustrating one for a person with a single deadline. It is worth knowing which of those two you are before you download anything.

What is the best ProperConvert alternative?

It depends entirely on the file you are holding. If it is a PDF statement, ProperConvert is hard to beat and most alternatives are worse. If it is a QIF export out of Quicken, Moneyspire, Moneydance, Banktivity or Microsoft Money, a browser converter finishes the job without an install or a subscription, and that is the case QIFQBO is built for.

The other paid tools in this market solve a different problem than they appear to. SaasAnt Transactions and Rightworks Transaction Pro both import into QuickBooks, but they read Excel, CSV and IIF, and neither reads QIF on any plan. Buying either one to handle a QIF file is a mistake people make about once a week, and it is an expensive one at $25 to $61 a month.

Who should buy ProperConvert and who should not

Buy it if you convert statements most months, you are allowed to install software, you work from one machine, and at least some of your source files are PDFs or spreadsheets. At $179.99 a year for that workload it is fair value and the format coverage is the best available.

Look elsewhere if you have one QIF file and a deadline, if you move between machines, if you cannot install software where you work, or if you need conversion to run without a person driving it. Those are the four cases where a per device subscription to a desktop app is the wrong tool, and none of them are unusual in a bookkeeping practice.
