Bean counting for app builders

Know what your apps are worth

Accounting and sales analytics built for developers who sell on Apple, Google Play, and Microsoft Store. Bring your store sales together, track what you've earned vs. what you've been paid, and see which apps are actually making money — without renting QuickBooks.

Store statements

Enter monthly store reports, not fake invoices

Each month you get a financial report from Apple, Google, or Microsoft — not a customer invoice. IndieBean is built for that workflow.

Enter gross sales split by app, store fees, and what's owed. The system generates balanced journal entries automatically: revenue when earned, receivables when owed, fees as expenses.

Reporting

Ask business questions, not accounting questions

Which app made the most last year? What % of Companion sales come from iOS? How has Mahjong performed since launch? IndieBean's report engine answers these in seconds.

View sales by app, store, country, or month. Compare year-over-year. Drill from any number down to the underlying transactions.

Built for how app developers actually sell

Proper double-entry accounting underneath. Developer-friendly workflows on the surface. No chart-of-accounts hacks for product reporting.

Multi-store native

Apple App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store are first-class — not afterthoughts. Track receivables, fees, and revenue per store.

App-level analytics

App, store, country, and month are real data dimensions — not buried in account names like Income:Sales:Mahjong:Google.

Accrual by default

August sales show in August's P&L, even when Apple pays in September. Outstanding store balances are always visible.

Your data stays local

SQLite company files on your machine. No mandatory cloud. No activation server holding your books hostage. One-click backup and restore.

Tax-ready books

P&L, Balance Sheet, and store receivables reports. Export to CSV or PDF for your accountant. Advanced Mode shows the raw ledger when you need it.

No subscription

One-time purchase. Stop renting your accounting software. Built for solo and tiny dev shops who'd rather own their tools.

How it works

A monthly loop designed for indie developers with apps on multiple stores.

Step 1

Enter store statements

When your August Google Play report arrives, enter gross sales by app, fees, and net owed. Takes minutes per store.

Step 2

Record payouts

When money hits your bank, record the payment. Receivables clear without creating duplicate income.

Step 3

Track expenses

Categorize hosting, developer program fees, equipment, and everything else against a sensible default chart of accounts.

Step 4

Run the reports

Dashboard at a glance. Sales by app or store. Year-over-year growth. Outstanding receivables. Export when tax time comes.

Simple pricing

Try it free. Upgrade once when you need more apps, stores, or full reporting.
