Things have drastically changed regarding AccountEdge Pro. Here are the main factors: (1) It is now subscriptionware requiring $15 per month for the first account, $10 per additional accounts. (2) There is NO support macOS Catalina or Big Sur. (3) macOS 10.15 through at least macOS 12 ARE supported. (4) The website offers a 30-day free trial. (5) The app numbering scheme is now by YEAR. Therefore, the current version is AccountEdge Pro 2022.

The developers announced that there will NEVER be a Catalina-compatible version. So they have officially abandoned the Mac platform. Buyer beware!

On the one hand AccountEdge is an easy-to-use accounting program that our business used for many years. In the pacific northwest of the USA, however, there are no accountants who use it or who will use it. None. So you're fine as long as you (or your business) doesn't need an accountant or bookkeeper. Once you do, you'll need QuickBooks because that's what they all use. It doesn't help that AccountEdge tells us not to upgrade to Catalina until THEY are ready…

Great App. Has greater customizable than most out-of-the-box accounting apps.

The backend of AEP, the part that implements the accounting rules and database, is not too bad, but the user interface is terrible. It is all based on Classic Mac APIs which Apple deprecated a decade ago. Worse, it doesn't even use those APIs in a reasonable way. Most, if not all, windows are implemented as Classic Mac dialogs which has many disadvantages. No more than one window of any type (invoice, bank register, etc.) can be open at any one time. There is a maximum of around a dozen windows of all types that can be open at one time. Worse, many things that you think are menus (e.g., selecting a vendor) are really dialogs so you may be several levels deep in dialogs and have to back out and close something because you can't select from something you think of as a menu. Some of the dialogs (like transaction recap) are even modal dialogs and lock up the whole application. The file handling APIs that it uses are also ancient history. One side effect of this is that it doesn't support long file names. You're still stuck with the old Classic Mac limit that went away for most apps a decade ago (was it 31 characters? I forget). Even new features suffer from this. If you try to attach a file to an entry (a new feature in the current version) it fails if the file's name is longer than the MacOS 9 limit. If you try to open an accounts file with a long name you get nothing but a beep, not even an error message. It's too bad that an otherwise reasonable program is so crippled by a bad user interface.
