Perbedaan Sesungguhnya
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Sage stands out with Cash flow forecasting and Smart invoicing. Wave counters with Free invoicing and accounting and Receipt scanning.
Sage's Achilles heel: feels old-school compared to xero and freshbooks — the ux hasn’t fully modernized despite cloud upgrades. 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 cash flow forecasting and bisnis kecil mapan yang, go with Sage. If solopreneur dan bisnis mikro matters more, Wave is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
