Pros & Cons
Axonaut
Pros
- One plan per user covers invoicing, expenses, cash flow, CRM, stock, projects, HR and ticketing, so there are no feature tiers to compare.
- Registered as an approved e-invoicing platform (Plateforme Agréée) for the French e-invoicing reform.
- Accountants get free access through a dedicated portal, and journals can be exported to Sage, Ibiza and Cegid.
- Reviewers rate the French support team as responsive and available by chat, email and phone.
- Includes a business account with a French IBAN and physical and virtual cards, alongside online invoice payment through Stripe, GoCardless or PayPal.
Cons
- It is a pre-accounting tool without a full double-entry general ledger, so you still need an accountant.
- Reviewers say it has few native integrations and relies on Zapier for many connections.
- It cannot manage several companies in one account, and the HR module does not produce payslips.
- Marketing and CRM are basic, with limited automation and limited dashboard customisation.
- The no-commitment price of 97 euros per user per month gets expensive as the team grows.
Holded
Pros
- Generates Spanish VAT and income tax forms automatically from invoice and expense data, with VeriFactu included on every plan.
- Puts invoicing, accounting, CRM, projects and HR in one product, so a small Spanish company can replace several tools.
- Partner accounting firms get their own profile without using up a user seat.
- Native Shopify, WooCommerce and Amazon sync sends sales straight into the books.
- A 14-day free trial with no card required, plus 50 percent off for the first three months.
Cons
- Full double-entry accounting only begins at the 59 euro Estándar plan.
- Inventory, payroll, POS and SII are paid Gems that push the real cost above the listed price.
- Paying annually gives no discount, and each plan caps the number of invoices per calendar year.
- Automated tax filing only works for businesses based in Spain.
- Reviewers say support is slow at tax deadlines and the mobile app does less than the web version.
