La vraie différence
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Wave stands out with Free invoicing and accounting and Receipt scanning. Xero counters with Inventory management and Multi-currency support.
Wave's Achilles heel: no inventory tracking, no project costing, no time tracking — you get what you pay for (nothing). Xero's: the starter plan limits you to 20 invoices/month — most businesses outgrow it in the first quarter. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Le verdict
If you value free invoicing and accounting and les solopreneurs et micro-boîtes, go with Wave. If les petites boîtes internationales matters more, Xero is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
