Hi everyone!

I have been using Grisbi for at least 15 years now to get around personal finances/expense tracking.

It is a very basic tool that tracks expenses, clearances, etc… Nothing crazy but it helps a lot to follow your budget, keep things on track. Everything is backed up through a file that I sync with Nextcloud.

For some reasons, I won’t be able to use it as easily in the coming months (new restrictions on my work laptop) so I’m looking for a Web-based selfhost-friendly alternative. I’ve already narrowed it down to 3:

Firefly III which looks pretty nice (and PHP is kind of a plus in my case)
Actual Budget which looks pretty cool too
Kresus much more barebone but might get the job done eventually

Do you have some feedback on any of those applications? Do you know any other alternatives worth looking at? Have you had the same kind of experience going from Gnucash/Grisbi/other to Web-based app?

How do you get your data in? Do you use the third party import services plugin or set up scraping of your statements that needs you to pass the statements in explicitly? I've been wanting to get into using Firefly 3 but the question of how I should do the data import has been a hurdle that's stopped me with indecision a few times.
