Why it's on SoloStack
The free plan is genuinely complete, not a teaser - Wave earns money through payment processing fees instead of subscriptions. The tradeoff is weak customer support (email and forums only) and payments can take over a week to settle.
What we like
- Free plan is fully functional, not just a trial
- Real double-entry accounting included
- Unlimited invoicing and users
Watch out for
- Customer support is email/forum only
- Payment processing can take over a week to settle
- Lacks inventory tracking and advanced features
