Midday is an open-source finance management app for freelancers and small businesses that combines invoicing, bank sync, transaction reconciliation, time tracking, file storage, and an AI assistant in one panel. Its hosted service wound down in 2026 after Midday joined Ramp, so today it survives as a self-hosted AGPL-3.0 codebase rather than a sign-up-and-go product.[1][2][3]
Quick verdict
Self-hosters who want an open codebase covering invoicing, bank reconciliation, and time tracking in one panel benefit most from Midday. Its concrete strength is the breadth of the finance workflow: bank connections across 20,000-plus institutions, automatic transaction matching, online-payment invoicing, a time tracker, a receipt Vault, and CSV plus QuickBooks, Xero, and Fortnox export. The material constraint is the 2026 sunset: there is no hosted plan to buy, no independent user-report sample to learn from, and commercial use needs a separate licence arrangement. If you can self-host and accept AGPL-3.0 scope plus the sunset, choose Midday; if you need a maintained hosted ledger, choose QuickBooks Online instead.[1][2][3][4]
Key features
Invoicing with online payments Create and send invoices and collect payment online, with invoice data included in the hosted export for users who leave.[1]
Bank sync across 20,000-plus institutions Connect accounts through Plaid, GoCardless, and Teller so transactions flow in rather than being typed by hand.[1]
Magic Inbox reconciliation Automatically match incoming transactions against invoices, receipts, and categories instead of clearing them one by one.[1]
Real-time financial overview Read profit and loss, runway, and spending from a live dashboard rather than month-end statements.[1]
Time tracker for billable work Log hours on client work in the same panel that holds invoices and expenses.[1]
Vault file storage Keep receipts, contracts, and invoices in per-customer storage tied to the books.[1]
AI assistant for finance questions Ask about income, costs, and documents through an assistant with documented connector setup.[1]
Export to QuickBooks, Xero, and Fortnox Move records out through CSV export or direct export paths to three named accounting suites.[1]
Who will love it
Self-hosters wanting one finance panel Invoicing, bank reconciliation, time tracking, and file storage share one AGPL-3.0 codebase on your own infrastructure.[1][2][3]
Freelancers billing by the hour The time tracker, expense logging, and invoicing run together, so tracked hours sit next to the bills they become.[1]
Owners planning a QuickBooks exit CSV and direct export paths to QuickBooks, Xero, and Fortnox document a way out as well as a way in.[1]
Who should avoid it
No hosted plan to buy The hosted product wound down after the Ramp acquisition, and the pricing page lists no plan to buy.[1][2]
Bank coverage limits reported A February 2025 third-party review reports sync delays of up to 7 days and limited bank coverage outside the US and the EU, so affected regions should verify their banks first.[1]
Commercial licence step The repository scopes AGPL-3.0 to non-commercial use and asks commercial users to arrange a licence by email, which adds a procurement step.[1][2]
What the reports suggest
No independent user-report sample was inspected; the only third-party walkthrough is one February 2025 review, and the vendor homepage shows vendor-selected quotes that cannot substitute for independent reports.
1 cited community source. No original Reddit or G2 report was accessible within the research budget, so forum and review-platform experience remains a recorded gap and no testimonial is selected.
Thin independent evidence The inspected evidence is one dated third-party walkthrough plus vendor pages: it praises the invoicing flow and dashboard while noting thin onboarding docs. With no inspected Reddit or G2 sample, this reading describes the available evidence rather than the whole user base.[1][2]
Dated cost framing excluded The 2025 review free-plan statements predate the 2026 sunset and are not current, so cost readers should rely on the sunset notice instead.[1][2]
Deployment and fit
Self-host from a live repository Run Midday on your own infrastructure from the public midday-ai/midday repository, a TypeScript and Next.js monorepo of about 15,074 stars that released v3.20.0 in August 2026 and is not archived. Official docs describe self-hosting setup with legal and domain configuration, though full deployment requirements were not verified this run.[1][2][3]
No hosted tier or price There is no hosted tier, no per-month price, and no verified native-app listing: the pricing page is a sunset notice offering data export and a migration path after the Ramp acquisition.[1][2]
Questions worth asking
What is the best Midday alternative for non-technical users?
Is Midday really no-code?
How much does Midday cost per month?
There is no current per-month price: the official pricing page is a sunset notice with no paid plans, checked October 11, 2026. Self-hosting the AGPL-3.0 code carries no licence fee for non-commercial use, while commercial users are asked to arrange a licence by email; hosting and bank-connector costs stay with the operator.[1][2]
Can you self-host Midday?
Yes, from the public midday-ai/midday repository under AGPL-3.0, with official docs covering self-hosting setup including legal and domain configuration. The licence is scoped to non-commercial use in the README, so commercial self-hosters should arrange a licence first; full deployment requirements were not verified this run.[1][2][3]
