QuickBooks is reasonably priced and extremely mature. It does what it does for reasons that you may not realize now, but you'll be extremely happy that it does them after a few months, like, the first time you need to file corporate income taxes, or the first time you get audited for payroll withholding.
If your only customer is the Apple App Store, well, you have one customer. You certainly have vendors. Anything you buy for the business is bought from a vendor.
If you're paying salaries, you have to calculate payroll taxes (and then pay them). This is pretty complicated. Even the biggest companies outsource it to companies like ADP or PayChex, who don't do a very good job. Intuit's payroll service, built into QuickBooks, will do a great job of calculating payroll taxes, withholding them, filing them with the government, etc. Don't try to play that game where your employees are "1099 contractors." You WILL get audited for this (we did).
You can try to roll your own accounting software, if your time is worth $0.00001/hour, or you can just do what almost every other small business does... use QuickBooks, learn how to do basic bookkeeping, and hire an accountant to check in and make sure you're doing everything right. Tax evasion is a pretty stupid problem to have, especially if it's not intentional!
"use QuickBooks, learn how to do basic bookkeeping, and hire an accountant to check in and make sure you're doing everything right."
At the cost of locking your data into QuickBooks, sure. Just be on the watch for a "forced upgrade" every other year or so, with a different set of bugs for every new version.
There is no way to recover your data from QB. if you don't mind being locked into Intuit and paying them money every other year or so, go for it. But be aware of what you are getting into.
Due Discloure: I've worked for Intuit before and while I liked my coworkers and even my bosses, I know what the code looks like, how customer support operates and what their business practices are. There is no way in hell I would ever use Intuit software for any business of mine. So I am prejudiced, take my advice with appropriate doses of salt :-)
