Bench vs Wave——どっちが優秀？
Benchを選ぶべき人: 会計ソフトを学ぶ代わりに、簿記を丸ごと人間にアウトソースしたい忙しい創業者
Waveを選ぶべき人: 「Free Trial」の釣りなしで本当に無料の会計が欲しいソロプレナーや超小規模ビジネス
私たちの見解: Bench for simplicity, Wave for power users.
| Bench | Wave | |
|---|---|---|
| 料金 | Essential $299/mo | Free accounting and invoicing | Payroll $20/mo + $6/person |
| 機能 | Dedicated bookkeeper team, Monthly financial statements, Year-end tax package, Expense categorization, Catch-up bookkeeping service | Free invoicing and accounting, Receipt scanning, Financial reports, Bank connections, Payroll services (paid add-on) |
| こんな人に最適 | Busy founders who want to outsource bookkeeping entirely to humans instead of learning accounting software | Solopreneurs and tiny businesses that want genuinely free accounting without the ‘free trial’ bait-and-switch |
| 学習コスト | 簡単 | 簡単 |
本当の違い
Wave has a free plan; Bench doesn't. Budget-conscious? That's your answer.
Bench stands out with Dedicated bookkeeper team and Monthly financial statements. Wave counters with Free invoicing and accounting and Receipt scanning.
Bench's Achilles heel: at $299/mo minimum it’s the most expensive option — you’re paying for human labor, not just software. 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.
結論
If you value dedicated bookkeeper team and 会計ソフトを学ぶ代わりに、簿記を丸ごと人間にアウトソースしたい忙しい創業者, go with Bench. If 「free trial」の釣りなしで本当に無料の会計が欲しいソロプレナーや超小規模ビジネス matters more, Wave is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
