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. > > 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. ----- ### "Akauting review by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 February 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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 > > 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. ----- ### "Unhappiness" — 1.0/5 > **Mustafa** | *27 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Very economical solution for small business accounting software" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *28 August 2022* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > I have been very pleased with this software. ----- ### "Best Accounting Solution for Start Up" — 5.0/5 > **Cynthia** | *7 April 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Really good. I like that I can manage multiple businesses with it ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/219850/akaunting?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/219850/akaunting) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
