Why businesses pick Spheyas
Unlimited users, hosted
Akaunting's $12 cloud plan is one user and an accountant; ten users means $36 a month. Spheyas gives every plan unlimited users, the free one included, with nothing to install.
More than one company, free
Akaunting's entry cloud plan holds a single company. On Spheyas you can create as many organizations as you need, each starting on Free, and Premium adds unlimited branches at $29 a month.
No apps to buy
Akaunting sells functionality as apps on top of the plan. What Spheyas lists on its pricing page is what your plan does — there is no marketplace bill on top.
When Akaunting is the better choice
Spheyas isn't right for everyone. Stay where you are if any of this describes you.
- You want to self-host and own the data — Akaunting's core is open source and free to run on your own server, which Spheyas does not offer at all.
- You want to modify the software, or need it to run inside your own network.
- You need automatic bank feeds and transaction reconciliation — Spheyas does not do those.
- You want to pick and choose functionality as apps, or need multiple currencies.
If you have somewhere to run it and someone to keep it patched, self-hosted Akaunting is genuinely free and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Spheyas is for the case where you would rather not run a server at all.
Try it on your own books
The free plan doesn't expire and never asks for a card. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
