Pay once. That's the whole model.

You're already paying subscriptions for things that used to be one-off purchases. Bookkeeping shouldn't be another one.

Coming to the Microsoft Store for Windows. A free, unsupported legacy edition (v3.4.2, macOS) stays available in the meantime.

Why one price

PrivateBooks has no servers to run. Your books never touch our infrastructure, because there isn't any — so there's no recurring cost to pass on to you, and no reason to hold your data hostage to a monthly fee.

What you get

  • Every update to version 4, included.
  • No license key to lose and no account to sign into. The Microsoft Store handles your purchase and re-install.
  • Your books stay readable and exportable whether or not you ever buy another version.

The free legacy edition

PrivateBooks v3.4.2 for macOS remains available at no cost. It is frozen and unsupported — it receives no updates and none of the guided-setup or profession features — but it will keep working, and your data is yours either way. See Download.

Refunds

Store purchases are sold and delivered by Microsoft; refunds and billing are handled under the Microsoft Store's own policies. We never see your payment details.
