Finally a Simpler Alternative to QuickBooks for Small Service Businesses

I’ve used QuickBooks for years, and honestly, it always felt like more than my business needed. As a simple service-based business owner, the interface was more than what I needed, and the ongoing subscription costs kept climbing.

For quite some time, I searched for an alternative. I tried a few tools, read reviews, and kept hoping to find something that felt simpler, cleaner, and more aligned with how I actually run my business.

That’s when I came across Tabby here on AppSumo. I was excited but cautious, so I watched from the sidelines for a bit and read feedback from others. Eventually, I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did.

Yes, there’s a tiny learning curve, and no platform is perfect. What stood out to me, though, was the responsiveness of their support team. When I reached out with a question, they replied quickly and shared that they would look into my issue. Seeing their roadmap, especially plans to deepen Stripe integration for invoicing, makes me feel confident about where this product is heading.

If you’re a small business owner debating whether to switch, I can say this: for me, it’s been a refreshing move. Tabby feels lighter, more manageable, and it will save me meaningful time going forward.

Hello, and thank you for the review. Since our AppSumo launch, we have been continuously improving Tabby. I’m glad you hopped on board because we have so many more features on the way. Building an accounting software is no easy task, and our goal was for Tabby to be a simpler alternative to QuickBooks. We’re so happy you noticed this. We appreciate you taking the leap, and hopefully many others will as well.
