Yes. GlassJar is a US-based cloud accounting software company. The product launches October 1, 2026, following a private beta. It was founded by Ryan Joneson, who spent the previous decade building and scaling cloud accounting software. The application runs on Amazon Web Services in the United States, pricing is published on the site rather than quoted, and there is a free 14-day trial that does not require a credit card.
What stage GlassJar is at
GlassJar is new. The product opens to its first customers on October 1, 2026, following a private beta. The testimonials on this site are from private beta users and are labelled as such.
That means there is no long track record to point at. What there is instead: published pricing, a product you can try before paying, a named founder, a documented security posture, and a clear statement of what is and is not in the first release.
Who built it
GlassJar was founded by Ryan Joneson, who spent the previous decade building and scaling cloud accounting software before starting GlassJar.
The product came out of a specific frustration: accounting tools that make the most repetitive tasks take the most steps.
What GlassJar does
GlassJar is double-entry cloud accounting software for small businesses, bookkeepers, and accounting firms. It covers invoicing, bills, expense tracking, bank connections and reconciliation, budgeting, recurring transactions, tracking categories, role-based permissions, and a report library each user configures.
Three things are specific to GlassJar. Any transaction type is entered from one screen instead of a separate screen per type. One contact record can be a customer, vendor, and contractor at the same time. And each user chooses which reports appear on their dashboard.
What GlassJar does not do yet
The October 1, 2026 release does not include payroll. It also does not include sales tax automation, contractor payments, inventory, or estimates. If those are essential to how you work, GlassJar is not the right tool for you yet.
We would rather tell you that here than have you find it out during a trial.
Is GlassJar good accounting software?
That depends on what you need. GlassJar is a strong fit if you spend a lot of time entering transactions, if the same businesses appear on both sides of your books, or if the reports you need are buried under reports you never run. It is a poor fit if you need payroll, inventory, or sales tax automation in 2026.
How your data is handled
GlassJar runs on Amazon Web Services in the United States. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3, and the primary database and customer file storage use industry-standard encryption at rest. The primary database is backed up automatically every day, with 35 days of retention.
Access is controlled by role-based permissions, and GlassJar staff cannot access your books unless you grant access. Application activity is logged so actions can be audited after the fact.
Bank connections run through Plaid. Card payments run through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider. Single sign-on runs through Google.

Pricing, plainly
Three plans, published rather than quoted
Foundation is $59 a month for one user. Core is $99 a month for two users. Advanced is $299 a month for five users. Promotional pricing of 50 percent off for the first six months is running for launch, and pricing is subject to change at launch.
There are no per-seat add-on charges layered on top of a plan, and there is no quote process. The prices above are the prices.
How to get help
Support runs through Zendesk. When you raise a request, an assistant handles the first response and resolves straightforward issues directly. Anything it cannot resolve goes to the team, and support activity is reviewed by people rather than left to run unattended.
At launch the team is small enough that the people building GlassJar are the people reading support tickets.
