Switch from QuickBooks
Leave QuickBooks —
take everything with you.
Intuit’s price climbs and your data is hard to get back. LineLedger imports your full QuickBooks history, costs nothing to license — a bill that can never ratchet — and lets you export to a portable ZIP anytime — so you’re never locked in again.
No price to ratchet
There is no subscription, so there is nothing to raise. You download it, you run it, you owe us nothing — and the AGPLv3 keeps it that way even if we change our minds.
Your data is yours
It never leaves your server in the first place. Export any company to a portable ZIP anytime — no lock-in, no ransom, no “export is a paid feature.”
Read every line
LineLedger is open source. Audit exactly how your books are calculated, change what you like, and run your own build.
How the switch works
Three steps from QuickBooks to clean books in LineLedger.
Export from QuickBooks
Pull your chart of accounts, your customer and vendor lists, and a full general-ledger report out of QuickBooks. Our export guide walks through exactly what to grab.
Import into LineLedger
Bring your chart of accounts in and replay your general-ledger history across as many files as it takes — accounts mapped, contacts linked, refund checks tracked.
Reconcile and carry on
Check your opening balances and trial balance, then keep working — invoicing, bills, sales tax, and drill-through reports, all on a price that never ratchets.
Your QuickBooks history comes with you
We import your chart of accounts and replay your complete general ledger — multi-file, full history, accounts mapped and contacts linked. And because every company exports to a portable ZIP, leaving is as easy as arriving. No fresh start, and no lock-in — in either direction.
- Import a QuickBooks chart of accounts
- Multi-file, full-history general ledger replay
- Maps accounts, links contacts & tracks refund cheques
Common questions
- Will I lose my history when I switch?
- No. LineLedger imports your QuickBooks chart of accounts and replays your full general-ledger history across multiple files, mapping accounts and linking contacts, so your books carry over — no fresh start.
- Can I get my data back out later?
- Anytime. Every company exports to a self-contained, portable ZIP, and every report exports to CSV or XLSX. Stop running it and your books are still sitting on your own server. Leaving is as easy as arriving — that is the point.
- What does it cost after I move?
- Nothing. LineLedger is open source under the AGPLv3 and you install it on your own server, so there is no subscription, no per-seat charge, and no paid edition. Your only cost is the machine you run it on.
