5 LeaseQuery (FinQuery) Alternatives to Consider in 2026

Who LeaseQuery (FinQuery) is built for

If you've searched for LeaseQuery lately, you may have noticed something odd: the company doesn't call itself that any more. In February 2024, LeaseQuery rebranded as FinQuery, a change it described as reflecting a much wider product line than lease accounting on its own. Lease accounting is still very much part of the business — the product is now sold as "LeaseQuery powered by FinQuery" — but it now sits alongside debt management, accrual and prepaid automation, and broader contract and software-spend tracking. LeaseQuery and FinQuery are the same company. FinQuery is simply the newer, broader name for the platform, with LeaseQuery as one product inside it.

That broader scope tells you a lot about who FinQuery is aimed at. Its own site talks about serving accounting departments, CPA firms, finance teams and public companies, and it claims tens of thousands of customers worldwide. Pricing for the full LeaseQuery product isn't published anywhere — you book a demo and get a custom annual quote, with cost generally scaling by portfolio size and the standards you need. That's a completely normal way to sell software to mid-market and enterprise finance teams who want implementation support, training and an account manager. It's just not the only way, and it isn't the right fit for every buyer.

Why teams look for a LeaseQuery alternative

A handful of reasons come up again and again when finance teams start looking elsewhere. Some only have one or two leases and don't want to sit through a sales call just to find out what a right-of-use asset is worth — they want a number today, without giving anyone their contact details. Some want to check the maths and the disclosures before they commit budget to any platform at all. Others are building internal tools or AI agents and need an API or MCP server they can call directly, rather than a login screen designed for a human to click through. And plenty of teams are simply working to a tight budget, where a flat, published monthly price is far easier to get approved than an open-ended enterprise quote.

• You want to calculate a lease today, not after a sales call and a follow-up email
• You have one lease, not a portfolio, and don't want to buy a platform to account for it
• You need an API or MCP server for an AI agent or internal tool, not just a dashboard
• You want published, flat pricing you can get approved without a procurement process

1. Ledgerage — a free calculator with an API and MCP server

Ledgerage is built specifically for the two cases FinQuery's sales-led model tends to skip past: starting with a single lease, and giving software or an AI agent programmatic access. The free calculator works out the right-of-use asset, lease liability, full amortisation schedule, journal entries and disclosures under ASC 842, IFRS 16 and GASB 87, with no account and no card required for one lease — and every result comes with a citation back to the standard it's based on.

Beyond the free tier, Pro is a flat $39 a month on the pricing page — no per-seat fees, no custom quote — and adds an unlimited saved lease portfolio, Excel/CSV/PDF exports, lease modifications, and a metered API and MCP server so agents and internal tools can call the same calculation engine a person uses in the browser. It won't track debt covenants or software spend the way FinQuery does; it does lease accounting, and lets you start using it in minutes rather than after a demo.

2. Cradle — self-serve with published monthly pricing

Cradle is one of the few enterprise-style lease accounting platforms that lets you sign up without talking to sales first. It offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, and published plans starting at $99 a month for up to ten leases, rising to $199 a month for twenty, with a custom Enterprise tier above that for larger portfolios. It supports ASC 842, IFRS 16 and FRS 102, which makes it a reasonable step up once a lease portfolio has outgrown a single-lease calculator and you want a full browser-based platform rather than an API-first tool.

3. Visual Lease — enterprise real estate and equipment portfolios

Visual Lease is built for large organisations managing lease portfolios that span real estate, equipment and other assets across finance, legal, real estate and IT teams, and it lists a number of well-known enterprise customers. It supports ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87 and GASB 96. Like FinQuery, though, it's a demo-led product with custom quotes rather than a published price list — there's no self-serve signup, so budgeting for it means a sales conversation before you see a number.

4. NetLease by Netgain — built inside NetSuite

If your general ledger is NetSuite, NetLease is worth a look. It's embedded directly inside NetSuite rather than running as a separate application, so lease journal entries post straight to the GL without an export-and-import step. It covers ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87/96 and FRS 102, and is aimed at growing and public companies already committed to NetSuite as their ERP. As with FinQuery and Visual Lease, buying it starts with booking a demo rather than a self-serve trial.

5. Crunchafi (formerly LeaseCrunch) — for accounting firms, not businesses directly

Crunchafi, renamed from LeaseCrunch in June 2025, is a different kind of alternative. It's built for CPA firms handling lease accounting on behalf of multiple clients, not for a company accounting for its own leases in-house, and the company says it's used by around 750 firms. If you're a finance team rather than an accounting practice, it's unlikely to be the right fit directly — but if your outside accountant or auditor runs your lease calculations, it's worth asking whether they already use it.

How the options compare

None of these tools are really substitutes for one another in every respect — they differ on who they're built for, how many leases they assume you have, and whether you get a price before or after a sales call. The table below lines up the essentials so you can see where each one sits relative to LeaseQuery.

Key takeaways

There isn't a single "best" LeaseQuery alternative — the right one depends on your portfolio size, whether you want self-serve access, and whether a human or an AI agent is doing the calculating.

• LeaseQuery is now FinQuery — same company, product renamed and broadened, still sold through a demo and custom quote
• Ledgerage suits a single lease or API/agent access, free to start, $39/mo flat for the full portfolio
• Cradle is the closest self-serve, published-pricing alternative for a growing portfolio
• Visual Lease, NetLease and the full LeaseQuery product are all enterprise, demo-led platforms with custom quotes
• Crunchafi serves CPA firms managing clients' leases, not finance teams managing their own

The fastest way to work out which camp you're in is to run one of your own leases through a couple of these tools and compare the outputs and the buying experience. If you want to see where you stand before booking any demos, try the free calculator on a real lease from your portfolio — it takes a few minutes and gives you an ASC 842 or IFRS 16 answer you can hold up against whatever else you're evaluating.
