Itās good to have other options. I wish the best to the project.
I started using Actual yesterday. Itās amazing . It feels good not having to forcibly pay and have a good product community driven.
Iām guessing because this one is open. There are very few self hosted budgeting tools, and a lot of desktop ones. If Iām going through the trouble of self hosting one, it better be open source. I donāt want to get stuck with all my financial data in an app I donāt want to pay anymore or worse, goes out of business.
If the open self hosted app doesnāt suit me, thereās GnuCash. A bit of a learning curve and less sexy, but itās solid and got my finances stable through college.
I did look in the link you provided earlier and all I saw was pricing and features. Nothing wrong with an open project selling services, of course. But can you really blame me?
Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.
I canāt remember all the details why the project doesnāt have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasnāt been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)
Regardless, this is a thread about self-hosted open-source budgeting, which is why I linked to Actual Budget. I have updated the first post to be the Github link instead to prevent confusion.
While it used to be closed source the maintainer a couple years back decided to not make it a job, and open sourced, took down the hosted option, and nowaintains it as a side project open sourced.
