Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of GnuCash. GnuCash alternatives are mainly Personal Finance Tools but may also be Budget Managers or Bookkeeping Tools.

It gives me an overall picture of my status that I never attempted with previous programs.įWIW, when I changed financial programs previously ManagingYourMoney->MS Money->MyMoney->MoneyDance, I always cut over and ignored the old records. Other interesting open source alternatives to GnuCash are Money Manager Ex, Firefly III, MoneyWallet and KMyMoney. Personally, I already know it's GnuCash, all the way. I expect import will be better if you use the new Quicken exporter.įor me, I decided to run the old and the new side-by-side for a few months to make sure I knew what I was getting into. Am I SOL because QBW is a closed proprietary format I see a web page describing the steps, but they look very convoluted and dont look all that promising to me. Surprisingly theres very little info on this.

The Quickbooks is showing its age and I want to switch to GnuCash. Sometimes it matches them to expense accounts automatically (though my main complaint with GnuCash is how crappy the auto-matcher is).

Log on to each credit card and download all the transactions as a CSV or OFX and import them using the GnuCash import tool. With all the bad reputation that QIF has, it worked well enough for checkbook, but required some massaging using my complete stock of bank statements. The checkbook portion took only a day or so, but investments took a month. I did a complete migration of 10 years data, beginning in August.
