Wave pricing

What Wave actually costs

The monthly figure a coach at that roster size pays, add-ons the platform forces on you included. Same engine the shortlist quiz uses, so these cannot disagree with it.

Two plans, both flat with unlimited invoices, estimates, bills and clients. Starter is $0. Pro is $19 a month billed monthly or $190 a year billed annually ($15.83 a month), per business, not per owner. The page still shows a promo of $9.50 a month for the first three months of a monthly Pro subscription, which its footnote dates to new subscribers between 2 December 2025 and 6 January 2026. Everything else is a separate fee: card payments 2.9% + $0.60 (Amex 3.4% + $0.60) on Starter, with Pro waiving the $0.60 on the first 10 transactions a month; a Receipts add-on at $11 a month or $96 a year ($8 or $72 on the other tier) for Starter users, included on Pro; Payroll from $25 or $40 a month depending on state; Wave Advisors bookkeeping from $149 or $199 a month. CAD prices exist for Canada ($25 a month, $250 a year). US and Canada only.

Before you sign up

Contract

Starter is free; Pro monthly or annual, per business

Who it suits

Built for: A US or Canadian sole trader or very small business that wants to invoice and keep basic books for nothing, paying only when it takes card payments.

Weak at: Bank feeds, receipt capture and payment reminders are Pro-only, there are no projects, inventory or multi-currency on the page, and it is sold to US and Canadian businesses only.
