What Wave customer have to say
Alternative to Wave high level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Wave | |
|---|---|
| Wave makes money from selling adverts, that’s your private company data. |  |
| Wave is 8 times slower than Bullet for every 1 Wave invoice you’ll have 8 completed in Bullet. 1 hour in Bullet is 8 in Wave. | |
| Wave is over designed, which is probably why it takes 8-10 seconds to open each page. | |
| No workflows, wave doesn’t have the accounting logic built into it’s workflows leaving a risk for errors. | |
What Freshbooks customers have to say
Alternative to Freshbooks high level comparison
| High Level - Issues with Freshbooks | |
|---|---|
| It’s $600 a year expensive, it’s probably the most poor value solution out there. | |
| It’s not an accounting product, Freshbooks is an invoicing tool with some reports. | |
| They use snail mail support, no free instant chat support. | |
| Freshbooks was started in 2003 and still looks busy and dated. | |
What Xero customer have to say
Alternative to Xero high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Xero | |
|---|---|
| It’s $480 a year expensive, plus accounting fees, remember Xero was built for accountants. |  |
| You need an accountant to help you with Xero, it doesn’t have any workflows. | |
| Very traditional accounting product so you’ll need to learn accounts to use it. | |
| Xero is built for the accounting industry so don’t expect automation. | |
What Quickbooks customers have to say
Alternative to Quickbooks high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Quickbooks | |
|---|---|
| Customers report that the software is very slow with pages taking ages. | |
| All your customer questions are done from an offshore support company, slow and frustrating. | |
| No instant chat support so when you’re stuck you’re going to be stuck for a while. | |
| Quickbooks costs $720 per year, plus all your |
|
What Excel customers have to say
Alternative to Excel high level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Excel | |
|---|---|
| Excel doesn’t know the accounting rules, so you’ll make mistakes and won’t even know. | |
| Excel doesn’t back up your company information, get a virus and lose all your information. | |
| No bank level security for your business information. Stop being exposed to hackers. | |
| Excel files get corrupt all the time, why run that risk and heartache. | |
