I have been using GnuCash for about three years after Quickbooks Online substantially raised their rates. It's a great free alternative for a one person company.
I would not want to use it for personal finances though. As others have said, it can be difficult to navigate.
- mNovak 7y agoLikewise, I use it for small business but don't bother for personal. I agree it's a bit difficult to navigate, though once set up there's not too much navigating new territory.
- nicolaslem 7y agoI do the exact opposite: I keep my personal finances in GnuCash and I absolutely love it. It really changed the way I perceive and spend money. It took me about a day of learning basic accounting and watching Youtube videos before being comfortable with the software. But I do the accounting for my company using a SaaS because it knows everything about local tax laws (deadlines, online filling...).
- Accacin 7y agoI'll offer a different view. I find GNUCash great for my personal finances. It's not too complicated I find, easy to navigate and works on MacOS and Linux (Which I need personally). Before this, I tried a few and all required paying or something like BYOB which I found amazingly complicated and I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
