La vraie différence
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Akaunting stands out with Open source accounting and Multi-company support. Xero counters with Inventory management and Multi-currency support.
Akaunting's Achilles heel: self-hosting requires technical skills — and the free core is limited without buying premium app extensions. Xero's: the starter plan limits you to 20 invoices/month — most businesses outgrow it in the first quarter. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Le verdict
If you value open source accounting and les petites boîtes tech-savvy, go with Akaunting. If les petites boîtes internationales matters more, Xero is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
