Why businesses outgrow Wave

Free works at the start. Here's what pushes teams to Accoru.

Free, until it isn't

Receipt scanning, payroll, and Wave Pro features all cost extra. Add a few and you're paying more than Accoru's all-in price.

Feature gaps for growing businesses

No real multi-currency, limited inventory, no proper project tracking, and recurring invoices locked behind Pro. Wave is great until you grow.

High payment processing fees

Wave's card processing fees are some of the highest in the industry. Move volume through and they add up fast.

Limited support

Free plans get limited support. Issues take longer to resolve, and there's no priority help when you need it.

Everything Wave offers — plus what comes next

Real multi-currency. Built in.

Invoice clients in 150+ currencies with live exchange rates — included in every Accoru plan. Wave's multi-currency support is limited and inconsistent.

Recurring invoices on every plan.

Set it once, get paid forever. Recurring invoices and auto-reminders are standard in Accoru — not locked behind a Pro upgrade.

Inventory, projects, and the full general ledger.

When your business grows past 'just invoices,' you need inventory tracking, project tracking, and a proper chart of accounts. Accoru has all of it.

One honest price. No add-ons.

Accoru is $13/month monthly or $10.40/month annual. Every feature included. No 'oh, that's an add-on' surprises.

Wave alternative — frequently asked questions

Is Accoru a good alternative to Wave?
Yes. Wave is great for getting started, but most businesses outgrow it once they need multi-currency, recurring invoices, proper inventory, or paid receipt scanning. Accoru gives you all of that at $13/month with full double-entry accounting.
Why would I pay for Accoru when Wave is free?
Wave's free tier is limited — no multi-currency, no recurring invoices on the free plan, paid receipt scanning, paid payroll, and high payment processing fees. Once you add the paid add-ons or hit the limits, Wave often costs more than Accoru's $13/month all-in price.
Can I import my Wave data into Accoru?
Yes. Export your customers, invoices, and transactions from Wave as CSV files and import them directly into Accoru. Most users finish migrating in under 20 minutes.
Does Accoru support multi-currency?
Yes. Accoru supports 150+ currencies with live exchange rates included in every plan. Wave's multi-currency support is limited and requires upgrades.
Does Accoru have recurring invoices?
Yes. Recurring invoices, automatic payment reminders, and auto-charging are included in every Accoru plan — Wave only includes recurring invoices on its paid Pro tier.
Does Accoru offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every Accoru subscription includes a 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If it's not right for you within 14 days, we refund you in full.
Does Accoru include bank reconciliation?
Yes. Automatic bank reconciliation is included in every Accoru plan. You get clean books without paying for an add-on.
What happens to my Wave account after I switch?
Your Wave account remains active until you close it. We recommend running both in parallel briefly during migration before closing Wave.
