Perbedaan Sesungguhnya
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Akaunting stands out with Open source accounting and Multi-company support. Wave counters with Free invoicing and accounting and Receipt scanning.
Akaunting's Achilles heel: self-hosting requires technical skills — and the free core is limited without buying premium app extensions. 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.
Kesimpulan
If you value open source accounting and bisnis kecil yang melek, go with Akaunting. If solopreneur dan bisnis mikro matters more, Wave is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
