Open-source online accounting software for small businesses and freelancers.
Open-source alternatives to FreshBooks
FreshBooks is an invoicing, expenses and accounting for freelancers and service businesses, with time tracking, receipt scanning and payroll. If you would rather own the software, keep data on your own server or avoid per-seat pricing, these open-source tools tackle the same problem: run your books. Bookkeeping is where small businesses lose evenings. AI now handles the data entry; you keep the judgment.

Hosted vs open source: what changes
Open source swaps a subscription for setup time. FreshBooks is hosted, supported and updated for you; with the tools below you (or someone you hire) install, update, back up and secure them. 0 of the 5 with a setup rating here need a developer. Most can also be bought as a hosted cloud plan from the same maintainers, which is a good middle path. Check each licence before you build on it.
