Evaluating Springly?
A different question.

You came here comparing Springly. Fair. But most businesses on this page have the same underlying problem: they need to get paid, and they want an AI to handle the boring parts. Holdings built the category for that — agentic invoicing, MCP-native, no monthly fee.

Why teams pick Holdings

Real fund accounting, not spreadsheets

Springly's accounting is light. Holdings' is genuine double-entry with fund and grant tagging — ready for the auditors.

Direct your AI, not a form

Springly asks you to fill out screens for each donor acknowledgment. Holdings' AI drafts them from a text-message-length instruction.

One product, one bill

For nonprofits that don't need heavy membership/event tooling, Holdings covers donations + invoicing + accounting for $25/mo.

MCP-native

Any AI agent can pull donation reports, grant status, and year-end acknowledgments.

Common questions

Does Holdings do membership dues?

Recurring invoices and payment links work for dues collection, but Holdings doesn't have a full membership CRM. For heavy membership/event needs, Springly + Holdings is a fair combination.

Can we run events through Holdings?

Holdings doesn't have event ticketing built in. Springly, Eventbrite, or another tool for the event; Holdings for the accounting and donation follow-ups.

How much does Springly cost?

Springly ranges $19-$149/mo based on org size and features. Holdings is $25/mo flat with no size tier.

Is Holdings good for small nonprofits?

Especially so — free donations tier, $25/mo full accounting, real fund tracking. Board-meeting-ready statements without a bookkeeper.

Is Holdings a bank?

Yes — free business checking with 1.75% APY (FDIC to $3M via program-bank partners), plus invoicing and (optionally) full accounting on top. You don't have to switch banks to use Holdings, though — connect any existing bank via Plaid if you'd rather keep both.

Let your AI do the invoicing.

No monthly fee. 3% + $0.30 per payment collected. Full accounting from $25/mo.
