It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates Wave from other similar products?
I have used Wave Accounting for over 6 years for myself and 3 other businesses. It is so easy to implement. I'm not an accounting person yet this is easy to understand and work within.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love that I can create my invoices and send via email and my clients can pay online without interaction with me or I can create a payment link that is housed on my website. I love the new Wave Money that makes banking without fees seamless. Fabulous addition!
What do you dislike most about this product?
A recent update changed the way that expenses purchased are processed. It use to be very easy to upload and AI pulled some of the data and you reviewed and updated it. Now, it is a 2 step process and you have to enter all of the data manually unless it is coming from bank info.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Wave Accounting is a fabulously easy accounting system that helps you keep your business organized. Reports are easy to run and all of your data is housed within the platform. The system is free until you need to process payroll or you use Wave as your payment gateway. Even then the rates are reasonable and in cases lower than many other products.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
