Why teams switch
Own your data
Your books live on your machine in local SQLite — not in someone else’s cloud you can be locked out of.
Works with no internet
The full core runs offline; a network blip never stops you billing or closing books.
Deterministic AI, no per-seat cloud tax
Tier-A intelligence ships in every plan and runs locally; the LLM copilot is an optional Enterprise add-on.
Switching from Zoho Books is low-risk
Bring your data across, run both side by side for a month, and switch for good when you're confident.
