The best alternatives to Holded
Holded might not be the right fit: the price, a missing feature or a payment model you don't like. These are the closest alternatives in our catalog, ordered by rating, with the full review of each one.
Why look for a Holded alternative
An interface you can run without prior experience, and the whole small-business cycle in one place, tuned to Spanish rules: that is what accountants and users keep repeating. The same two complaints hold: support feels slow, and the entry price misleads, because the 15 € Plus plan is before VAT and stock, point of sale, payroll or SII tax reporting are paid as separate modules. This week brought no recorded outages and no price or deadline change: the Verifactu deadline still stands at January and July 2027.
What its own users repeat in the August 7, 2026 sweep:
- Support seen as slow at peak times, admitted even by its own partners (strong theme)
- Real cost runs well above the entry price: stock, point of sale, payroll and SII tax reporting are billed as separate modules and published figures exclude VAT (strong theme)
- For a freelancer who only needs to invoice it is oversized, because it is a full ERP and is priced like one (present theme)
- The annual price cannot be checked from outside: the site only serves monthly rates and the annual cycle is drawn in the browser (present theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
Quipu 3.4/5 · Free trial · from €17
On compliance it still runs ahead: the Verifactu responsibility statement with version and signing date was read again today without changes, almost two years before the new July 2027 deadline the tax agency has set for the self-employed. Price stays the weak point: the page still shows the same 17-euro list price for the entry plan, with no bank connection, hidden behind a three-month 50 percent discount, and it still never says anywhere whether the amounts include VAT.
Where it wins: Its conversational assistant trained on Spanish tax regulation is still what separates it from any run-of-the-mill invoicing tool Where it slips: The entry plan has no bank connection of any kind according to their own comparison table: automatic sync starts one tier up, so the realistic price of the use case people come for is double the advertised one
Anfix 3.1/5 · Free trial · from €4.99
This week's sweep confirms the same picture as last week, with no price change: the entry plan is still 4.99 euros a month under annual billing and rises to 5.99 on the monthly plan, neither figure including tax according to their own FAQ. The mobile app remains poorly rated on the App Store, at 2.4 out of 61 reviews, the same figure as last week. The Verifactu calendar published on their dedicated page is consistent this week, listing January and July 2027 for companies and the self employed. The contradiction over deadlines is still there, just on a different page: the mandatory e-invoicing page mixes a section that ties deadlines to a pending regulation with an FAQ section that gives concrete mid-2025 and 2026 dates for the same group.
Where it wins: The real-time collaborative portal between accountant and client is still what sets it apart for a practice, confirmed today on their own advisory firms page Where it slips: The mobile app is still the dominant complaint: on the Spanish App Store it holds at 2.4 out of 61 ratings, the same figure as last week, with reviews describing crashes when opening the bank tab and errors after updating. Google Play could not be rechecked this week due to an access failure on the listing, so last week's reading stands, 3.2 out of 108
