Head to head
Wave
Wave's core promise is radical for the category: real double-entry accounting and unlimited invoicing for exactly zero dollars, funded by payment processing and payroll fees. For freelancers and side businesses with simple books, it covers surprisingly much. The boundaries are clear — US/Canada only, basic reporting, no inventory, and support prioritizes paying users — but as a starting point it is unbeatable on price.
Free accounting and invoicing for the self-employed.
