Are you using a Customer Relationship Manager app to manage your customer contacts? Do you have employees you need to track time for? Are you a retail store with a cash register? Having these apps connect to your accounting software makes life a lot easier.

QuickBooks can connect to almost any app. There's also a very long list of apps specifically designed for QuickBooks. You could connect an app to make sure you pay suppliers on time, collect and manage your receipts, manage your employees and the list goes on.

Wave has three apps that you can connect. And because of the way it was designed, it's unlikely to have many more in the future. If you're just starting out this may not be a big deal, but it's something to keep in mind as your business grows.
