## The Hook

Bigcapital is open-source accounting and inventory software for small and medium businesses, with invoices, bills, double-entry books and financial reports, which you can self-host with Docker.

## What's Good

AGPL-3.0 (bigcapitalhq/bigcapital), release v0.25.44 (2026-10-15), with frequent releases. Self-host it with Docker Compose, or use Bigcapital Cloud. Covers financial statements and reports, inventory and sales/purchase documents. ★~3.9k.

## The Catch

Still pre-1.0. Accounting rules and tax features differ by country, so check that it covers yours before moving real books. AGPL applies if you modify and host it.

## Verdict

A credible open-source QuickBooks-style app for small businesses.
