真正的区别
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.
最终结论
If you value cash flow forecasting and 想要1981年就存在的老牌传统会计软件的成熟小企业, go with Sage. If 想要真正免费的会计软件、不想被'免费试用'套路的个体创业者和微型企业 matters more, Wave is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
