Ledger Brief Take
This open-source alternative to QuickBooks offers genuine double-entry accounting with bank feeds — not just basic invoicing like most free tools. The self-hosted option appeals to privacy-conscious small businesses, though you'll trade the polish and integration ecosystem of commercial platforms for complete data control and customization through its app marketplace.
