Important Changes to Wave Apps: Legacy Free Accounts and Future Integration Access

Wave Apps is set to implement significant changes for users operating on legacy free accounts that will take effect on May 26, 2025. If you currently utilize a free Starter Plan, it is crucial to understand how these upcoming adjustments will impact your account’s connectivity to bank and credit card services.

According to recent communications from Wave, all businesses must transition to a Pro Plan subscription to establish connections with new or existing integrations post-May 26, 2025. However, the good news is that you will still retain access to Wave’s Zapier and Wave Connect integrations even if you remain on the free plan.

For those of you like me, who are holding onto a legacy free account, I reached out to Wave’s AI Chatbot for clarification on how this policy will influence our ability to connect bank accounts. The information provided clarified that while features such as automatic bank transaction imports and adding collaborators will remain accessible for free, any features not used prior to May 1, 2024 may necessitate an upgrade to the Pro Plan following the cutoff date.

More specifically, if you wish to connect new bank accounts for automatic transaction imports after May 26, 2025, a Pro Plan subscription will be required. Users who have actively engaged with the auto-import feature before the aforementioned date can continue using their existing bank connections without needing to upgrade.

For detailed insights into the various features included with each subscription plan, I encourage you to explore Wave’s pricing page. Staying informed is crucial, and understanding these changes can help you make more strategic decisions for your business’s financial management moving forward.
