Invoices plus real double-entry bookkeeping for a small business, free.
Wave's Starter plan covers unlimited estimates, invoices and bills alongside genuine double-entry accounting, which is unusual at zero cost. You can take card payments through it, and that is where the money is: 2.9% plus 60 cents per card transaction on the free tier. Receipt scanning, bank imports and automatic categorisation moved to a paid add-on, so the free plan means typing transactions in.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. Receipt scanning and bank imports are a paid add-on, and card payments cost 2.9% plus 60 cents each.
Yes. Wave sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
