// EDITOR'S TAKE
Akaunting is the nearest full replacement with a double-entry ledger, invoicing, bills and reports, though a number of features people expect are paid add-ons in its app store. Bigcapital covers similar ground with a cleaner modern ledger and a much smaller community, while invoice-ninja is excellent at invoicing and payments but is not general accounting.
