Holded review

Fees start at €15 and the paid options are Basic, Standard, Advanced. The subscription covers the tier you pick, and payroll is included within it. Basic is the entry tier, and its usage is capped at 1,000 invoices/year on Basic.

There is a free trial of 14 days, and the model is listed as free trial. There is no free plan to keep afterwards, so light invoicing still means paying for one of the Basic, Standard, Advanced tiers, with the cheapest way in at €15.

The plans include 2 users, and that number sits on the paid tiers rather than growing with each addition. For a wider team you would move to the higher plans in Basic, Standard, Advanced and check what the per user price of €15 means for your headcount.

Payroll is included rather than a separate add-on, and bank feeds are supported. That pairing suits small businesses that want supplier bills, bank data and payslips in the same place, and Holded also lists automation as one of its automation areas.

Holded lists e invoicing as its local compliance, which matches the most common requirement in this category of accounting software. The company sits in Spain and trades as Holded Technologies, S.L., so Spanish invoicing rules are the built-in case rather than an optional add-on.

Holded starts at €15, while Qonto starts at €9 and Accountable at €9.90. Across the accounting software listed here the typical starting price is €16.66, so Holded sits above the middle. Billy is the alternative for a different currency, from DKK 160.

The mobile app is listed for ios, so invoicing can be handled away from the desk. Support runs on phone and help centre, which covers a phone line and a help centre. The 27 integrations listed are the other route for getting data in and out without rekeying.

Holded was founded in 2016 and is based in Spain, trading as Holded Technologies, S.L. The product also includes a crm element, so a business can keep customer records alongside its invoicing rather than moving between separate tools.
