Wave bills $16/mo for the automation most growing businesses need, and its best features only work in the US and Canada. SolidInvoice works in any country, includes recurring billing starting at $9/mo, and never gates features by where you're based.

Wave's free tier no longer includes recurring billing, automated reminders, receipt scanning, or auto-import of bank transactions, those moved to the $16/mo Pro plan
Most of Wave's marquee features (Wave Payments, payroll, bank feeds) are restricted to the US and Canada, so customers in the EU, UK, and elsewhere get a much thinner product
Even on the $16/mo Pro plan, Wave's multi-currency support is limited and there's no REST API, so multi-currency invoicing or connecting Wave to other tools gets awkward fast
Wave bundles accounting with invoicing, which is helpful for some, but unnecessary complexity if you only need professional invoicing
