In their own words

QuickFile

QuickFile is an accounting service with Android and iOS mobile apps. It provides bank feeds, automated reconciliation, invoice creation, receipt capture and accountant access. Inventory tracking is not included. The Free (XS) plan costs nothing and allows up to 200 ledger entries. Accounts with 201 or more ledger entries use the Paid (S–XL) plan at £60 a year, billed annually; the pricing page shows £60 plus VAT per year, and account sizes and feature access vary. An optional Automated Bank Feeds plan costs £15 a year, also billed annually, with £15 plus VAT shown on the pricing page. The mobile apps cover both listed mobile platforms, while the accounting features focus on routine ledger, invoice, receipt and bank-feed work. The entry limit separates the free and paid tiers.

Wave

Wave's invoicing software helps businesses create and send invoices, receive payments, and manage customer information. Invoice templates can be customized with a logo and brand colors using drag-and-drop editing. It supports recurring invoices and automatic credit card payments for repeat customers. Customers can pay by credit card, bank payment (ACH/EFT), or Apple Pay, and invoice and payment information connects to Wave's accounting feature. The free Starter plan costs nothing and includes unlimited estimates, invoices, bills, and bookkeeping records; online payments have transaction fees. Pro costs $19 a month and adds automatic bank transaction import, transaction merging and categorization, receipt capture, expense tracking, and late-payment reminders. Wave lists integrations including Amazon, eBay, Capsule, and Etsy, with workflows through Make. Connecting or maintaining Partner integrations and Make requires Pro or a Wave Advisors bookkeeping subscription; third-party API connections also require an active Pro or Wave Advisors package. Wave says it is not HIPAA-compliant and does not support healthcare-related businesses.
