Insights
Frappe Books is free and open-source accounting software with a clean, modern look. Most accounting apps make you choose between simple, well-designed, and free. Frappe Books gives you all three, with no catch.
Frappe Books now runs on the Frappe Framework. Install it on your own server, and your whole team can use it in a web browser, on a computer or a phone. The old desktop app is no longer supported.
Sales and purchases
Send quotes, turn them into invoices, and record payments as they come in. Bills, supplier payments, and returns work the same way.
Price lists, discounts, coupons, and loyalty points are built in. Every invoice prints with your logo and your terms.
Inventory and Point of Sale
Keep stock across all your locations, with batches, expiry dates, and serial numbers. Stock updates with every sale and purchase.
Sell at the counter with the Point of Sale. Scan a barcode, take the payment, and print the receipt. Count the cash when you open and close a shift.
Accounting and reports
Frappe Books keeps double-entry books for you, with a ready-made chart of accounts for your country. Use journal entries for everything else.
See how your business is doing in the Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, General Ledger, and Trial Balance. In India, GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 are ready for your GST returns.
Yours, on any device
Frappe Books runs on your own server, so your data stays with you. Add your team and choose what each person can see and do.
Use it in a web browser on a computer or a phone, and add it to your home screen like an app. It is free and open source, with no subscription.
The Story of Books
"It started out as an experiment, and it still kind of is an experiment.
The idea was, you have a computer perfectly capable of running software, why pay someone else to do it?
Of course, the premise of a regular SaaS company runs in the opposite direction—we have perfectly capable computers, why not pay us to run your software—and this just feels kind of stupid for a lot of personal software that people use.
But this stupidity is rarely spoken of because it allows a SaaS company to charge its users a subscription fee. An abhorrent practice for software that can run locally.
So in a flash of post-hoc sensibility we decided to build Frappe Books. A software that from a capitalistic perspective seems rather daft cause it makes us no money, but from a user perspective, seems reasonable, because it runs locally and doesn't come with a subscription fee."
