For years, I have been trying to ditch QuickBooks. I dislike Intuit's business practices and QBO's interface intensely. But QBD (which I have) is desktop dependent so it is limiting in its own way even though it has better functionality than QBO.

Every time I think I might be able to get rid of them, the replacement software has a flaw that is insurmountable and I am back to square one again.

In Tabby.ai's case, the fatal flaw was that I cannot create subcategories of expenses. So as a result, I have one catch-all category for a type of expense but cannot get more granular than that.

Take the example of advertising & marketing. Everything gets dumped into this one category - but if I am advertising via social media, other websites, or other means, I will have no way to how much is spent in each subcategory as it would all be just grouped under advertising.

Once this limitation was discovered, I bailed. There is no use for AI category automation if the categories are too general to help me in my business forecasting to figure out where my spending is going.

Ugh. I thought I'd be able to divorce QBD once and for all. Back on the hunt for another solution.
