Let’s look at the PROS & CONS of GnuCash.

PROS of GnuCash

• It’s free and open-source.
• Full of features and takes in account all the aspects of personal finance management.
• All sorts of reports to display where your money is going and where you should cut down to ensure you can save money.
• Let’s you manage the small business accounts too and thus allowing you to maintain the books in a much convenient way.
• Support for connecting to Online-Banking too.

CONS of GnuCash

• Interface could have been better. I really think that it’s not the easiest of the lot.
• Although, it supports online-banking but it doesn’t have support for most of the banking systems and thus you may not be able to connect to your bank’s database.

All in all, GnuCash is great open-source personal finance management software but it still can’t be really compared to the ease of use provided by Microsoft Money but there is no harm in trying the software which is free. If at all, you get a hang of it, I’m sure you won’t ask for anything more.
