A conversion to the Peachtree/Sage 50 data format was made available when Simply Accounting was taken off the market. The US version of the product was previously called Peachtree Accounting.

In the 2010s cloud-connected functionality was added to the product line and the current 50cloud name began to be used. Later, the product was rebranded as Sage Line 50, a reference to the target market of the product, and in the 2000s was rebranded to simply Sage 50.

The product currently known as Sage 50cloud Accounts has its origins in some of the earliest solutions that Sage produced. Sage 50cloud Accounts was the market-leading accounting solution for many years. In the UK and Ireland there are currently four products under the Sage 50 banner Accounts, Payroll, HR and P11D.
