"Online" and "accounting" in the same sentence? I'm out.

  There's a self-hosted option that's free.

    Meh, this feels more like marketing than open source. The "free" on premise hosted version is limited. Also, no mention of "apps", like inventory, stripe, PoS, etc. for the self hosted version. Edit: it seems the on-premise version supports apps: There is no app included in any plan. All apps must be purchased separately from the App Store.

    As in not-too-large can of a beer, as it is limited to no more than 2 users and 1000 invoices. It isn't free as in software, as both FSF and OSI requires software compatible with their goals to have no limitations on use.

  As far as I can tell that is the way things are going. A number of countries, eg Denmark, is implementing legislation that basically requires this - by requiring backup, standard accounting model for compliance check, electronic invoices, online vat etc.

    There are absolutely no requirements in Danish law neither current or pending that requires a system to be "online" or "hosted".
    • throwaway4good 2y ago
      It is not an explicit requirement - the new legislation just lists a number of things that are kinda hard to do without being online.

        I am curious which requirements you think this applies to?

          electronic invoicing is hard to do offline
        • throwaway4good 2y ago
          The ones I listed. I think the traditional standalone accounting software will be a thing of the past here after the implementation of the new accounting law. Also cloud based accounting systems are probably easier to make money on.
