私たちの見解: FreshBooks for simplicity, Wave for power users.

本当の違い
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
FreshBooks stands out with Client-friendly invoicing and Time tracking and project costing. Wave counters with Free invoicing and accounting and Receipt scanning.
FreshBooks's Achilles heel: client limits on lower tiers are frustrating — lite caps you at 5 billable clients which is nothing. 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 client-friendly invoicing and 会計の頭痛なしで美しい請求書発行とtime trackingが欲しいフリーランサーやサービス業, go with FreshBooks. 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.
