Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: FreeAgent at £10/mo, against Wave at $19/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: only Wave publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: FreeAgent tops out at £33/mo, Wave at $19/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
How to choose in this category
- Almost every vendor leads with a limited-time discount; the standing price after it is the real comparison.
- Plans differ in users and features more than in price — read the rows, not just the header.
- Several of these vendors charge different amounts by country; the table shows what each market pays.
