3 reasons to switch from Wave

1

You outgrow "free" fast

Wave's free accounting is basic. Once you need payments processing (2.9% + $0.60/transaction), payroll ($40/mo + $6/employee), or receipt scanning, costs add up quickly.

2

Professional-grade features

Wave lacks multi-currency, inventory management, advanced reporting, and API access. Growth Mission Control includes all of these from the Starter plan up.

3

Data control and privacy

Wave monetizes through payment processing and has been acquired by H&R Block. Your financial data is their business model. With us, your data is only yours.
