The concept of a true alternative to big names, especially in Canada, is almost impossible. So, I jumped at the chance to try this software. I really like that it's open source and I respect the option to pay for abscess features. Initially, I found it very buggy and many apps are very limited in functionality but I have high hopes for the future and I am still able to use it for my daily accounting. It's come a long way already: I started with it in Sept 2021 and had daily problems ... now (Apr 2022) I'm using it daily and the only problems are limits on features (ex. Allowing negative values, having tax as a line item, etc.). Support is very hit-and-miss - if developers would reply to emails or respond to forum posts, I would give full marks. But, as with a lot of open source, you get what you pay for. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros While all other software is moving to public cloud to store sensitive data, Akaunting gives you the option to download and install to your server for a private cloud installation. For this reason alone, Akaunting is my only choice for accounting software. #### Cons Being under frequent development, there can be a bug and getting support for core functions is almost impossible. Support for paid apps is included and any apps made by Akaunting are well supported - i get responses/resolutions within the week - but apps made by private parties get limited support. I've been waiting over 6 months for action on a ticket I filed. Also, support for the core is almost impossible to get - I can't get a reply on support forums or by email. #### Reasons for switching to Akaunting Simply accounting is moving to a public cloud and I don't trust anyone with my data. Further, simply is notorious for a messy data set under the hood, pricing is forced with upgrades, and the user interface is old and complicated --- ### Akauting review by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I managed to follow my accounts easily. From my personal point of view, Akaunting allows small and medium-sized businesses to control their accounts more easily without having to resort to an accountant within the company. The question that must be asked now is whether it is an application intended for large companies. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Akaunting is really easy to install and configure. Developers make the best features available to users. #### Cons Secondary applications developed by community developers are always expensive. To have the best features, you have to pay a lot more #### Reasons for choosing Akaunting I chose Akaunting for the free first functionalities of an accounting software that it offers --- ### Unhappiness - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Mustafa T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Unhappiness, a feeling of being cheated. Deception. I was so happy that such good software had come from Turkey. But in business, they still have a typical Turkish mindset. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It's great that it does the job of other expensive software. Ideal for a small business. The fact that it's online makes it even better. #### Cons The support is very weak, they're incredibly stubborn. I didn't have a chance to test the burgundy module, I bought it and realized I'd been scammed because it didn't do anything it promised. I wanted to return it, but they wouldn't give me my money back. A whole year later, they shamelessly charged me for renewal. I asked for my money back again, but apparently the terms and conditions stated that I needed to cancel it. But strangely enough, there's no cancellation button. I was forced to cancel my credit card. #### Reasons for choosing Akaunting It seemed like a very revolutionary idea to me. --- ### Very economical solution for small business accounting software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matthew M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been very pleased with this software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The integrations and premium cloud subscription set this product apart from other competitors. #### Cons There is some difficulty in self-hosting, though the premium cloud option negates the obstacles. #### Reasons for choosing Akaunting It is a promising product meeting the most critical needs. There are plenty of familiar integrations available for scaling solutions. The cost for premium cloud is reasonable when compared to competitors. Customer support is paramount for premium cloud subscribers. #### Reasons for switching to Akaunting I was not satisfied soliciting Intuit QuickBooks while competing with their bookkeepers. --- ### Best Accounting Solution for Start Up - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cynthia G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Really good. I like that I can manage multiple businesses with it #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros This accounting software is easy to use, you can start for free and upgrade from there which makes it the perfect solution for start ups. #### Cons The option for quotation or estimates as to be purchased. #### Reasons for choosing Akaunting Too expensive and complicated to start up #### Reasons for switching to Akaunting Wave, stopped offering services to South Africa. QuickBooks was getting to expensive. --- ### Misleading Sales Practices – No Refund Despite Issues - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Mehmet Ali T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our overall experience was disappointing. We purchased the Payroll module for our self-hosted Akaunting installation and encountered several issues right away. Despite reporting these bugs, the support team refused to acknowledge any fault and denied our refund request. We felt cornered by vague policies and poor customer care. The platform could be great, but the current business practices make it difficult to trust. We wouldn’t recommend Akaunting to other businesses unless transparency and customer support significantly improve. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The interface is modern and easy to navigate. The idea of having modular features and an open-source foundation is attractive for small businesses looking for customizable solutions. #### Cons The paid modules are often buggy and lack proper documentation. Support is unhelpful, especially when it comes to valid refund requests. The refund is misleading—once you download the on-premise module, you lose all rights to a refund, even if the module is broken or doesn’t perform as advertised. #### Reasons for switching to Akaunting After dealing with bugs in Akaunting's paid Payroll module and receiving no meaningful support or refund option, we decided to look for a more reliable and transparent solution. Wave offers solid core accounting features for free, and while it's not perfect, it provides a more stable experience with better support and clear communication. We needed a platform we could trust, and Akaunting unfortunately failed to meet that standard. --- ### Attractive, well presented, usually works -- then, without warning, features removed / licence changes - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We used this tool for nearly a year and had the rug pulled out from under our processes, customisations, and customer installations. After cancelling services/subscriptions -- charges kept coming... we were triple charged to our credit card for lapsed subscriptions (charge-backs resulted in FULL refunds from Visa -- but absolutely no joy from Akaunting). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Great promise, an attractive UI and good community ecosystem able to add features by additional subscriptions #### Cons Much used features were removed, broken, or migrated WITHOUT notice, communication, nor support. Their support team has been combative, abusive and unhelpful -- even making subscriptions inaccessible on a whim. This is a business critical tool -- stability, reliability, trust, and responsiveness are critical -- sadly, I have experienced NONE of these from the management or support team at Akaunting. Shameful behaviour. #### Reasons for choosing Akaunting Initially, Akaunting looked promising and served our needs. We spent a great deal of time customising and expense with add-on subscriptions to make product work well for us. Sadly, without notice -- "the (Akaunting) focus went in a different direction and your install is no longer supported -- or functional". I regret ever changing to Akaunting. #### Reasons for switching to Akaunting Costs and complexity of using multiple products became a concern. --- ### Loving the ease of use! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chaman S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use this for 2 business i own, and am very happy with the experience overall. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software is easy to use, with simple steps to customize your invoices and information. #### Cons The delay in processing invoice, takes few seconds to search a customer (sometimes it doesnt appear) and takes few seconds to generate an invoice and to add payments. #### Reasons for choosing Akaunting Price --- ### One of the best and easy accounting software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bhabishya B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Everything about this software is great. It's very easy to get started with and easy to use and navigate. And what I like the most is that, it's open source and can be easily installed in my own hosting. #### Cons What I like the least is that they don't have all the features. And the addons they are costly even simple addons also sometimes. --- ### Effectively manage accounting - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mamoudou D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
