Wave is great if you're in the US or Canada and don't mind losing key features to its $16/mo Pro plan. SolidInvoice works anywhere in the world, supports any currency, and includes recurring billing and unlimited invoices from $9/month.

Wave's most useful automation (auto-import bank transactions, automated reminders, receipt scanning) is now part of the $16/mo Pro plan, not the free tier
Wave's payments, payroll, and bank feeds are heavily US and Canada focused, so customers in the EU, UK, Australia, and most of the rest of the world miss out on the headline features
Owned by H&R Block since 2019, and its roadmap reflects a tax-services company's priorities, not a dedicated invoicing product's
Wave bundles accounting and invoicing together, which is useful for some, but adds clutter if all you need is professional invoicing
