There is also a high learning curve with GnuCash. However, from my perspective, GnuCash is overkill for the average user who is just trying to balance a checkbook. HomeBank is similar in many ways to Intel’s Quicken, but is lighter weight and easier to use.Ī few people around the Internet have recommended GnuCash as a free, open-source alternative to Quicken. Presently there is also a port to Mac OS.
HomeBank is a free multi-platform accounting software program available for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.
