If you only need to send invoices, here's the honest comparison
Wave is genuinely good bookkeeping software, and this page isn't here to bash it. But a lot of people never needed the bookkeeping — they signed up to Wave just to send a tidy invoice. On June 1 2026 Wave re-aligned its free tier: automatic bank import, receipt scanning, removal of Wave branding and unlimited collaborators moved to the Pro plan (about $16–19/month). If invoicing is all you came for, a lighter tool is simpler. Here's how BillSnap compares for that one job.
Straight talk: if you need bookkeeping — bank reconciliation, expense tracking, financial reports — keep using an accounting app; BillSnap doesn't do that. If you need a clean invoice, fast, free, with no account, that's exactly what BillSnap is for.

What a professional invoice should include
Whatever tool you use, a client's accounts-payable team expects: your business name and contact details, the client's details, a unique invoice number, the invoice and due dates, an itemised list of services or products with amounts, any tax (with your tax/GST/HST number if you're registered), the total due, and clear payment instructions. BillSnap's generator includes all of these by default so nothing gets rejected.
