Wave is a genuinely free way to invoice and keep simple books — great when that's all you need. But the moment you want a pipeline, projects, or support, you're buying those elsewhere, and Wave's own payments and payroll carry fees. Mewayz puts the whole operation on one flat plan.
Invoicing and accounting are free, but card payments and payroll carry per-transaction and monthly fees. The 'free' plan bills where it matters.
Wave records invoices and expenses. It doesn't manage the deal that won the client or the project that serves them — those live in other tools.
As you add a pipeline, a booking calendar, and support, you assemble a stack of subscriptions around a free core. The total stops being free fast.

Comparison reflects Wave's free invoicing/accounting scope and paid payments/payroll plus the separate tools it does not replace, 2026. Feature availability and pricing may vary.
Bring your customers, invoices, and expense history across by CSV or API. Balances come with them.
Turn on the CRM, projects, bookings, and support so the invoice is the end of a process, not an island.
Cancel the separate CRM, scheduler, and support subscriptions you built around Wave. One flat Mewayz plan covers them.
Yes. Mewayz includes invoicing, payments, accounting, and expenses — the core of Wave — plus a CRM, projects, bookings, and support on the same flat plan.
If free invoicing is all you need, Wave is fine. But most businesses end up paying for a CRM, a scheduler, and support around it. Mewayz replaces that whole stack for one flat fee, and payments aren't the profit centre.
Yes — import customers, invoices, and expenses via CSV or the API, keeping balances. You can export from Mewayz the same way any time.
Instead of paying for Wave, switch on the Mewayz module that does the same job — included in every plan, on the same database as your other modules.
Import your invoices and expenses, add the business around the books, and replace the free-plus-paid stack with one flat fee.
