Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the Free plan
Is the Free plan actually free?
Yes — $0/mo. No trial clock, no credit card required. Unlimited invoicing and quotes, payment links, 48 business tools, and a free workspace to run your business from.
What's the catch with free invoicing?
There isn't one. Unlimited invoicing and quotes are free with no cap, no watermark upgrade trap (upgrading to Software removes the Holdings mark and adds your logo), and no trial clock. We make money when customers upgrade to the $25/mo Software plan — invoicing stays free either way.
Is invoicing really unlimited on the Free plan?
Yes. Create unlimited invoices and quotes, send them by email or secure client link, download PDFs, and track status from draft to paid. Clients can accept quotes online — with e-signature — and you convert accepted quotes to invoices in one click. Free-plan PDFs include a small 'Powered by Holdings' mark; upgrading to Software removes it and puts your own logo and brand color on every invoice and quote, plus recurring invoices and automatic overdue reminders.
Can I invite my team on the Free plan?
Yes — team access is included on every plan. Invite teammates, your treasurer, or your bookkeeper with their own logins; no shared passwords.
What are the 48 free tools?
Invoice generator, tax calculators, budget templates, P&L builder, runway calculator, nonprofit scorecard, and more. Many work without an account; with a free account your data saves to your workspace.
What do nonprofits get for free?
Every verified 501(c)(3) gets a public nonprofit profile with a verified badge and directory listing — free. Free banking and 48 free tools too. When you need real books, Fund Accounting is $25/mo. Verify with your EIN and IRS determination letter.
When should I upgrade to Software?
When you want real books: full double-entry accounting, P&L and balance sheet reports, bank reconciliation, linked external accounts via Plaid, recurring invoices, and automatic overdue reminders. Software also removes the 'Powered by Holdings' mark from your invoice and quote PDFs and replaces it with your own logo and brand color. You can try Software free for 30 days — after that it's $25/mo or $240/yr — and everything you've done on Free carries over.
Do I have to use Holdings as my only bank?
No. Open the free account alongside your existing bank and use it for what makes sense — invoicing income, a sub-account for taxes, or your full operating account. Switching is optional, not required.
Start free. Stay free as long as you like.
Banking, invoicing, and 48 tools at $0/mo. When you're ready for full accounting, Software is one click away.
