Compare Just Checking vs. Print Checks

Just Checking for Windows is a user-friendly checkbook management software designed to help users monitor their transactions, reconcile their accounts, and print checks effortlessly. Its layout closely mimics that of a traditional checkbook register, allowing for easy navigation. Each transaction entry includes essential details like the date, payment method, check number, payee, memo, transaction amount, actual balance, bank balance, and the date of bank clearance. The intuitive transaction dialog facilitates seamless data entry for users. Additionally, it allows for the generation of various reports, including a comprehensive checkbook register report, and offers sorting capabilities by multiple columns within the register. Users can also establish recurring transactions for regular expenses, run detailed expense reports such as the memo expense report, and print checks as needed. If adjustments are necessary for check printing, the edit option lets users modify templates to suit their preferences. Importantly, all data is securely stored locally on your device rather than online, ensuring privacy and control. Furthermore, the software efficiently manages multiple checking accounts while accurately calculating actual and bank balances for each entry, providing a complete overview of your financial activities.

Print Checks is a user-friendly application designed for the printing of checks, featuring a wizard-style interface that guides you through the process using "previous" and "next" buttons. To begin, decide whether you wish to print checks that contain data or opt for blank checks, and once you've made your selection, proceed by clicking the green arrow to the right. If you choose to input data, you'll need to enter the necessary check information, using the green plus sign to create a new data record, and you can easily edit any entry by double-clicking it. When you add or modify a check data record, a dialog box appears, allowing you to enter further details on the additional check information tab, which will subsequently appear on the final printed check—remember to click Ok to save your changes. Afterward, select your preferred check template simply by clicking on it once, and if any adjustments are needed, you can make those before moving forward by clicking the green arrow again. The next step involves entering any extra check information on the subsequent page; once you’ve completed this, continue by clicking the right green arrow. Ultimately, you'll be able to review a print preview of your checks, and from that view, you can proceed to print them as needed, ensuring a smooth and efficient check-printing process.
