Accounting tools cover a wide range here: full ERP suites, web-based accounting systems, self-hosted bookkeeping apps, plain text accounting, invoicing, payroll, and finance automation. This June 2026 ToolVitals snapshot compares open/source-visible Accounting Tools using the supplied health, shipping, licensing, GitHub popularity, and ToolVitals score data.
The ranking includes open/source-visible tools only and sorts first by ToolVitals score, with GitHub stars used as a secondary popularity signal for ties. License and openness are treated conservatively using the supplied labels, such as OSI-approved OSS and GPL-3.0, without stretching source-visible or commercial models into open source claims.

Top 3 Highlights
ERPNext ranks first with a 97 ToolVitals score, combining a 95 health score with a 100 shipping score. It is labeled OSI-approved OSS under GPL-3.0, has no pricing scope listed, and has the largest GitHub footprint in the set at 35,684 stars. Its supplied description positions it as a broad enterprise resource planning system rather than a narrow bookkeeping tool.
Dolibarr is close behind with a 96 ToolVitals score, a 95 health score, and a 95 shipping score. It is labeled OSI-approved OSS under GPL-3.0, with no pricing scope listed. The data describes it as an ERP and CRM package covering contacts, suppliers, invoices, orders, stocks, agenda, and accounting, which makes it one of the broader business-management options in the ranking.
Facturascripts ranks third with a 92 ToolVitals score, supported by an 85 health score and a 98 shipping score. It is labeled OSI-approved OSS under LGPL-3.0 and has no pricing scope listed. Its GitHub star count is much smaller than the two leaders at 472, so its placement is driven more by ToolVitals health and shipping signals than by popularity.
