True Fact: ZipBooks users spend 15% less time on mundane bookkeeping tasks.

Beautiful, intuitive software

As a Mac user, you're looking for clean, beautiful UI (we get it, because we're Mac users, too). 

ZipBooks was built on that foundation.  Whether you're using our single interface for all your transactions, our beautiful reports, or professional invoicing, ZipBooks looks fantastic across every feature.  And it's just as easy to use as it is beautiful. 

So yes, we think ZipBooks is the best QuickBooks alternative for Mac, but you don't need to take our word for it.  Our plans start at free—see for yourself if ZipBooks lives up to the hype.

Sending online invoices with ZipBooks accelerates payment by 17.5 days on average.

Invoice on the go

ZipBooks' invoicing goes beyond what you'd get in QuickBooks. It's not just looking great on your Mac—it will actually be working in the background on your behalf.  Our accounting software for small business lets you bill your clients electronically, updating you as soon as your client views or pays an invoice.

ZipBooks also makes it dead-simple to save items you bill for often, and even allows you to configure automated follow-up emails for late-paying clients.

Professional payments

Unlike QuickBooks, ZipBooks lets you and your clients accept and make payments any way you'd like.

Accept any credit card—you can use our credit card processing, or your own Stripe, PayPal, or WePay account—or even use our Square integration to bring Square charges straight from your Square account straight into ZipBooks.  We spent a lot of time on our Square integration, knowing Mac users are deep into the iOS ecosystem.

More Mac-friendly features

  • ZipBooks lets you create and send beautiful invoices, respecting the Mac aesthetic. Automate everything with recurring auto-bills while ZipBooks seamlessly integrates your billing into your books.

  • Manage your business from your iPad or iPhone. Send invoices, mark payments, store receipts, and categorize expenses with a native iOS app.

  • Simplify your work by collaborating with employees, contractors, accountants, or other team members. Manage team permissions on reports, invoicing and billing, time tracking, or other parts of ZipBooks.

  • Organize your work into projects and tasks, and track your time right in ZipBooks. Once you’re ready to bill, pull that time into an invoice with a single click (see if QuickBooks can do that)!

  • While QuickBooks uses expensive and outdated "class tracking," we've developed a tag system that lets you tag any transaction in ZipBooks with a customer, vendor, project, location, or other custom tag—then generate an income statement and other reports based on one or more of your tags.
