How to choose a Holded alternative
- Decide whether you invoice a few large clients or many small ones. Retainer-style businesses need recurring invoices and client portals; volume businesses need speed and payment links.
- Check payment gateway coverage for India — UPI, cards, net banking — and what each gateway charges per transaction, because that cost usually exceeds the software subscription.
- If you export services, confirm multi-currency invoicing, LUT handling and FIRC-friendly receipts before you commit.
