Comparison for teams that already invoice in Holded
Holded covers invoicing and cash. The gap is clock-in, payroll and, if you are a firm, the client book. We are not asking you to stop invoicing where you already invoice.
This page is for the SME that already issues invoices and watches cash in Holded, and is tired of opening a second tool only for people. Friday still needs clock-in, hours closed and payslips sent. If you are also an advisory firm, your clients invoice in Holded and you chase PDFs, certificates and the labour month somewhere else. Vacly does not claim to be your finance suite. It is the clock-in, payroll and book layer you miss on day one, with prices we already publish and a 15-day trial.
We are not writing for someone hunting a total Holded replacement. Holded is a finance and invoicing suite for SMEs: invoicing, collections and a cash picture. We do not argue that or price it. We write for the team that already has that piece and feels the people gap. The commercial conversation starts when the team clocks in on a spreadsheet, payroll lives in a loose PDF and, if there is a firm, the book does not fit a sales-directory client card.
You issue, collect and watch treasury where you already are. What wears you down is the second login to clock in, hours that never reach payroll, and the PDF that travels on WhatsApp. You want Time and Laboral without moving invoicing.
The client invoices in Holded. You need a portal, the payroll month, certificates and a file to export. You are not asking them to rip out invoicing. You are asking for a place they upload and you walk the book.
If you want a Holded clone, a VeriFactu seal or a live connector that posts journals on its own, this is not it. Vacly does not claim product parity or Holded prices. The Vacly catalogue is clock-in, laboral, the book and digitizing with human review.
The sale is not “we are better at everything”. It is “you already invoice; we cover people and the firm”. That is why the contrast is a gap, not a logo war. We do not invent Holded’s catalogue or prices. If you want their scope, their site. If you want ours, keep reading.
Holded is a finance and invoicing suite for SMEs. Invoicing, collections and a cash view are why many companies are already there. It has its plans, connectors and its own compliance story. We do not claim their VeriFactu seal, list their modules or copy their tariff. Check their site.
Vacly steps in where the SME that already invoices feels the second gap: clock-in, payroll and, if there is a firm, the book. Digitizing invoices exists in Vacly with AI and human review, and feeds pre-accounting and VAT; it does not send to the AEAT or post books on its own. You export a file. 15-day trial.
On day one you do not miss “another invoicing tool”. You miss someone clocking in without a sheet, a labour month that is not a PDF cut-up, and — if you are a firm — a client who cannot see the neighbour’s company. Holded covers the sell-and-collect slice. The people slice — working time, payroll, filings, the book — is what Vacly puts on top, with modules you switch on. We do not claim Holded “has no people tools”: we claim what Vacly does have, published, and what it does not.
Time: web, app or WhatsApp. A clock-in/out record, a geofence if you require it, reports you export. WhatsApp is the interface; the chat is not the record. From €8.89 per employee/month VAT incl.
Laboral: PDF with AI, employee portal and generating the month. The employee sees theirs. The firm walks the book. From €2.50 per employee/month VAT incl. SILTRA is not for sale.
If you are a firm, each client is a company with modules, certificates and payslips. The client portal does not show the book. It is not the Invoicing directory. Administration comes with Laboral · advisory firms.
Nine real rows from Vacly’s catalogue. The Holded column is a cautious reference: not an audit, no their prices, no invented seals. If a topic is theirs, we say “check their site”.
| Topic | Vacly (published catalogue) | Holded (reference, not an audit) |
|---|---|---|
| Invoicing and cash | Not the angle of this page. Invoicing in Vacly exists (Soles) to digitize and issue per catalogue; we do not promise to replace your cash suite. | A finance and invoicing suite. That is their ground. Check their site. We do not claim their scope or price. |
| Clock-in and working-time record | Web, app and WhatsApp, geofence and exportable reports. Time from €8.89 per employee/month VAT incl. It does not homologate the record. | If they offer time tracking, that scope is theirs. We do not invent it. Check their site. |
| Payroll and employee portal | PDF with AI, portal and generating the month. Laboral from €2.50 per employee/month VAT incl. SILTRA is not for sale. | Payroll, if they offer it, depends on their catalogue. We do not invent modules or tariffs. |
| Advisory book | One login, two modes: the firm walks the book; the client sees only their company. Certificates and inbox if Administration is ON. | Usual focus on the company that invoices. We do not claim a multi-company firm mode. |
| Digitizing invoices | PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP and XML/Facturae. AI reads tax ID, bases and VAT; human review. Feeds pre-accounting and VAT. Soles. Does not send to the AEAT. | They have their own invoicing. We do not compare seals or say they “read worse”. Check their site. |
| VeriFactu and seals | We do not claim certified VeriFactu or AEAT/TGSS homologation. Vacly Solutions SL is not homologated by AEAT or TGSS. | We do not claim their VeriFactu seal or any homologation. Check their site. |
| Live connectors | There is no live connector to Holded, a3 or Sage. Export is a file per period. | They have their own integration ecosystem. We do not claim a bridge from Vacly. |
| Accounting export | CSV, Sage and Excel: a file. Pre-accounting with human review. Vacly does not post books on its own. | Their accounting, if they have it, is theirs. We do not invent the bridge. |
| Price and trial | Time €8.89; Laboral €2.50; Tax €12.90/month; Projects €19/month; Invoicing/Specials in Soles; Accounting and Banking on request. 15-day trial. | Their own plans. Check their site. We do not publish their tariff. |
01
Nobody asks for a big bang. Holded can stay the tool to issue and collect if that is your decision. Vacly does not present itself as the replacement of that suite or as a live bridge that empties the cash view.
02
Web, app or WhatsApp. You close the hours month without rebuilding a sheet. You export for inspection or for the firm. Vacly does not homologate the record: it leaves a record you can look up.
03
PDF, portal and generation. The employee signs reception. If there is a firm, you walk the book without a loose PDF per client. Labour judgement stays yours.
04
PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP and XML/Facturae. Gmail and Outlook: PDF attachment only. A person reviews. The data feeds pre-accounting and VAT. It is not a send to the AEAT.
05
CSV, Sage or Excel per period. There is no live connector to Holded, a3 or Sage. If your firm works in another programme, you send the file. That is the limit and also the promise.
