*Wave is free but monetizes through payment processing fees and your data. Prices reflect comparable tiers as of 2026. The Sage column is Sage 50 Premium 2026 US Desktop, a locally installed product like ours, at the single-user price published by an authorized reseller (checked September 15, 2026) — not Sage's separate cloud product.
