Spec score 7.6 #13 of 21 in Account Reconciliation Software

What it is

OpenRecon reconciles transactions from payment processors and gateways against an internal ledger, then reports mismatches and missing transactions. It first pairs records with shared IDs or references; remaining rows are matched by amount, currency, and a date window. Amounts use Python Decimal rather than floating-point arithmetic. Presets cover Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Razorpay, Braintree, and Square, with column auto-detection or explicit field mapping. The listed input is two CSV files. OpenRecon provides a command-line interface and Python library, with console summaries and optional JSON or CSV reports. Its command line returns a non-zero status when discrepancies exist, supporting scheduled and CI workflows. The maker says it runs locally without network calls, leaving ledger and processor files on the user's computer. Requirements are Python 3.9 or later and no dependencies beyond the standard library. Many-to-one matching, multi-currency settlement, refund and chargeback handling, and HTML reports are listed as planned improvements. The project is free, has no paid tier or account requirement, and uses the MIT license.
