Conclusions

Yabs did particularly well in the brief test thanks to its practicality for small businesses and freelancers who just want to map daily transactions and don't need sophisticated accounting modules. No complicated installation and external databases are required for Yabs. The user interface might take a bit of getting used to, but once you've come to terms with the logic of the program, you'll quickly produce results with Yabs.

Despite the Java substructure, the software works swiftly and stably. The existing documentation needs revision, and there is currently no documentation in English. However, some aspects of the software, such as form customization using the templates, are not good enough. Thus, you should try a few exercises with the software and adapt the forms before starting to work with them.
