Firefly III
Self-hosted double-entry personal finance manager with a REST API that covers almost everything.
Free
- I want my money tracked on my own server and my agent to file transactions and check budgets
- I run a sole trade and need double-entry books without paying for accounting software
- Import bank statements
- AGPL-3.0: modifications you host for others must be published
- Personal finance by design; no invoicing, client portal or tax reports
- Bank imports need the separate Data Importer container and its own credentials
Ledger CLI
Plain-text double-entry accounting from the command line; the CLI is the whole interface.
Free
- I keep my books in a text file in git and want reports without a GUI
- I want my agent to append transactions and run balance checks in a script
1 more job is undetermined.
- No invoicing, no bank sync; you supply the journal
- Python features (--import) need a Python-enabled build, which is off by default
- Community Windows support is weaker than macOS and Linux
