I am already using GNUCash.
How does this compare?
- moorlagt 3y agoI tried GNUCash and opted for this. I think the UI is more understandable and polished. Still a lot of depth to Firefly and has its own learning curve. Its also written in PHP using Laravel which can be appealing.
- snvzz 3y agoUI might be more understandable and polished to someone new to both programs, but I have used GNUCash for over a decade. Change is effort. As for PHP, it has never been confidence inspiring. I will say this despite having used Laravel professionally.
- gidorah 3y agoI, too, use Gnucash. Gnucash is an actual double entry bookkeeping system. Firefly is not. I want to like Firefly, but you cannot properly record all liabilities. Also, you can't mix income and expenses in the same account. For example, if I get a refund, it has to go to an income account. Not net off against an expense, which is the usual way bookkeeping.
- snvzz 3y agoOK, this is enough in itself to disqualify Firefly.
