La vraie différence
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
QuickBooks stands out with Expense tracking and receipt capture and Profit and loss reports. Wave counters with Free invoicing and accounting and Financial reports.
QuickBooks's Achilles heel: pricing has crept up aggressively — $30/mo for basic bookkeeping feels steep when wave is free. 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.
Le verdict
If you value expense tracking and receipt capture and les petites boîtes us, go with QuickBooks. If les solopreneurs et micro-boîtes matters more, Wave is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
