Mostly to create invoices and check my expenses. > > **Cons**: It has a lot of learning curve - which makes it hard to understand certain features use. ----- ### "Wonderful software for a small business" — 4.0/5 > **Sunayana** | *4 September 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Editing a banking transaction is super-easy > > **Cons**: Inability to put in additional information on a transaction > > A useful software if the books are small and easy, with minimum bank accounts. ----- ### "Wave Recent Changes in Experience" — 3.0/5 > **Amanda** | *19 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used Wave for 5 years. It's very easy to use and can help process payroll, send invoices and keep track of expenses. > > **Cons**: In the recent past, I've had issue with them processing tax payments on time, and their support has significantly decreased from the past. ----- ### "Wave has been the perfect fit for me" — 5.0/5 > **Kathryn** | *25 February 2026* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I first started using Wave after trying to learn Quickbooks and finding it frustrating and way too complicated for my small, service-bases business. Wave was free at the time, and it was far more intuitive. I had a couple of questions that were easily answered by searching through Wave's online resources. I'm not a professional bookkeeper, and I felt way more confident using Wave than I did using Quickbooks. I've kept using it for years even after there was a cost to do so because it was definitely worth it. It continues to be easy to use, and now that I have a part time bookkeeper who helps me out, it lets us collaborate very well. > > **Cons**: Wave's integration with my bank has not always worked effectively, and that has caused some problems. I'm not clear on whether it's my bank or Wave that's the issue, but a couple of times, the integration stopped working then started working again, and this resulted in some duplicate entries that had to be cleared out. It was simple enough to fix but irritating. > > Overall, if I had to set things up all over again, I would still pick Wave. It's been an excellent fit for my business. ----- ### "Wave is free but has limited customer support" — 2.0/5 > **Tim** | *6 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The starter edition is free which is awesome, you are able to process payroll, invoice clients and perform monthly accounting at no cost. There is a small fee for accepting credit card payments which is standard amongst other payment providers. > > **Cons**: Customer support is non existent. Never thought this was a concern until Wave switched payroll processors and caused the system to crash. Wave went silent for weeks, only resolve was to email the company and those went unanswered. Had to turn to Redditt for workarounds, worst part was Wave never took responsibility for their mistake, switched to another provider which I pay for but willing to do so after my experience with Wave. > > If you want a free payroll and accounting provider, Wave fits the bill. If problems arise, you might be on your own and dealing with the consequences for months. ----- Page: 1 / 70\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/178021/wave-apps?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/178021/wave-apps) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
