For freelancers who need mileage tracking, time tracking, and tax-ready reports, yes. Wave is great for basic invoicing and expense tracking, but it lacks GPS mileage tracking, Schedule C reports, 1099 generation, and time tracking. Vuuv includes all of these, which means fewer apps and less manual work at tax time.
Wave's Starter plan is free for basic invoicing and manual expense tracking. However, key features like bank sync, auto-categorization, receipt scanning, and removing Wave branding from invoices require the Pro plan at $19/month. Vuuv's Plus plan is also free, and our Pro plan at $12/month includes all of those features plus mileage tracking and tax reports.
Choose Vuuv if you're a freelancer who drives for work, a real estate investor, or anyone who needs tax-ready reports. Vuuv has built-in GPS mileage tracking, Schedule C and E reports, 1099 generation, property management, and time tracking. Wave offers none of those. Plus, Vuuv Pro at $12/month is cheaper than Wave Pro at $19/month.
No. Wave has no built-in mileage tracking at all, not even manual entry. You'd need a separate app like MileIQ ($8.99/month) to track mileage and manually reconcile it with Wave. Vuuv has GPS-based automatic mileage tracking built in, and your mileage data flows directly into your tax reports.
No. Wave is general-purpose accounting software with no property tracking, tenant management, lease tracking, rent collection, depreciation, or Schedule E reports. If you own rental properties, you'd need to build workarounds or use separate tools. Vuuv has all of these built in.
Yes. Export your Wave transactions as a CSV file and import them into Vuuv. Our import wizard helps map your accounts and categories.
