Why businesses pick Spheyas

The invoice list in Spheyas, showing invoice numbers, clients, dates, amounts and payment status.

A client portal, not just a link

Every Spheyas plan, the free one included, shares documents with your clients through a portal. Premium adds messaging and acknowledgements on top, so the conversation about a document stays with it.

Everyone gets a login, free

Wave limits who can work in the account until you are on Pro. On Spheyas your bookkeeper, partner and assistant all get their own login on the free plan.

Built for more than one location

Premium runs unlimited branches and regions for $59 a month, with reporting per branch — something Wave's plans do not cover.

When Wave is the better choice

Spheyas isn't right for everyone. Stay where you are if any of this describes you.

  • You invoice heavily and want it free — Wave's free plan does not cap invoice volume, ours stops at 5 finalized documents a month.
  • You want the lowest paid plan — Wave Pro is $19 a month, against $29 for Spheyas Standard.
  • You need bank transaction importing, receipt scanning or automatic categorisation — Spheyas does not do those.
  • You are in the US or Canada and want payments and payroll from the same vendor.
  • You want a long-established product with a large user base behind it.

Wave's free plan is more generous than ours on invoice volume, and we would rather say that here than have you find out after moving. Wave is also cheaper on its paid plan. Spheyas earns its place on users, the client portal, and multi-branch reporting.

Try it on your own books

The free plan doesn't expire and never asks for a card. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
