Who is Wave best for?
In other words, Wave is worth it for US/Canada freelancers and solo entrepreneurs who want completely free accounting + invoicing + receipt scanning — particularly for early-stage founders bootstrapping before they need QuickBooks. Free forever for core accounting and invoicing; charges per transaction for payments and payroll. Extremely easy setup. Native integrations with Stripe (for payments), Zapier for third-party workflows. Downside: US/Canada only, no time tracking or inventory, and payroll (separate paid add-on) is US-only.
What is Wave not for?
Need international support? Pick Xero. US/Canada scaling past freelancer? QuickBooks. Freelancer wanting invoicing-first? FreshBooks.
