Hectile vs Wave
Wave’s free plan leaves out your logo and team collaboration; reminders need Pro or Wave Payments. New Wave accounts are limited to the US and Canada. Hectile includes them all on one plan, wherever your business is.
Why businesses switch from Wave
Wave’s free Starter plan has no logo or brand colours, no Admin, Editor or Viewer access, and Wave branding stays on your invoices. Sending recurring invoices and reminders through Wave requires Pro or Wave Payments. Pro is $19 a month for each business. New accounts can only be opened in the US and Canada, the business currency must be USD or CAD, and existing users elsewhere can no longer send invoices or reminders from Wave.
Hectile is one plan per Organization: unlimited customers, unlimited Brands with their own logo and numbering, and up to 20 members with Admin and Member roles, for $12 a month or $120 a year per Organization. Your documents carry your Brand, and Hectile never takes a cut of your payments. Recurring invoices and automatic payment reminders are included on paid plans. Online payment through your own Stripe or Razorpay account is coming soon.
