    HomeBank is a more appropriate alternative to Quicken as it's for personal finances. QuickBooks is for business.

    HomeBank can't transfer money between accounts with different currencies. Therefore, all exchange rates are there only to display grand total.

    It has a web interface that allows me to access it anywhere I have a web connection. As an independent contractor, that means I can do my books, invoices, payments, etc. on the job site instead of taking up valuable family time once I get home.
