La verdadera diferencia
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
FreshBooks stands out with Client-friendly invoicing and Time tracking and project costing. Wave counters with Free invoicing and accounting and Receipt scanning.
FreshBooks's Achilles heel: client limits on lower tiers are frustrating — lite caps you at 5 billable clients which is nothing. Wave's: no inventory tracking, no project costing, no time tracking — you get what you pay for (nothing). Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusión
