    GnuCash doesn't have invoicing and time-tracking features, which Freshbooks does.

    I really wanted to love Akaunting, but the setup process was inscrutable, importing from Freshbooks was a trial. Then, Akaunting decided to send new recurring-invoice notifications to long-ago clients, which alarmed them and embarrassed me. Now I'm trying (and failing) to find a way to cancel my account. It's really a bummer, because I want to support the open-source community. This app is just not ready for real use.
