Akaunting review

Akaunting has the lowest regular entry price here, but read the plan details before choosing it for your own books. Standard at $12 per month is for one-person businesses: one company, one user plus one accountant, 1,000 invoices, four included apps, unlimited customers, vendors and reports, and multiple currencies. It does not include double-entry accounting or bank feeds, which most owners doing their own books will want. Those arrive on Premium at $36 per month, together with expense claims, roles and permissions, a client portal and room for 10 companies and 10 users. Elite at $84 adds estimates, payroll, projects, inventory, receipt scanning and Shopify and Stripe apps. Yearly billing lowers each price. The app-store model lets you add only what you need, but the base product needs more assembly than QuickBooks or Zoho Books, and support is by ticket rather than phone.

Who it is for

Owners who want a low entry price and are happy to add features through apps.
