What is the best VeriFactu software in 2026?
Eight invoicing tools for Spain compared on what they really cost per month, the hidden cap on their cheapest plan, and Basque Country support.
Short answer: if you run a small company or work as an autónomo (Spain's self-employed status) and want invoicing, bookkeeping and access for your gestor (your accountant) in one place, go with Holded. It offers an English interface (check it during the trial), includes VeriFactu on every plan, and starts at €15 a month before VAT (€7.50 for the first three months). If you only have a handful of clients, or you invoice in the Basque Country, TS Facturas (formerly Billin) costs €6.60 a month billed yearly and handles TicketBAI on every plan. If you mostly want the quarterly tax side handled for you, Quipu starts at €17 a month. And if you send a few invoices a month to identified clients, the free app from Spain's tax agency (the AEAT) can be enough.
VeriFactu is Spain's rule for invoicing software. Every invoice gets a digital fingerprint (a hash) chained to the previous one and a QR code, and in VERI*FACTU mode the record goes straight to the AEAT. It is not an app you download from the government; it is a standard your software has to meet. Under the rules in force today, the deadlines fall in 2027: early in the year for companies, mid-year for autónomos. The Ministry of Finance has announced a delay to 2028, but until that is published in the official gazette, 2027 is the date that counts. We compared eight options on monthly price, plan limits, compliance and support.

How we compared and scored
Most VeriFactu rankings you will find are written by the vendors themselves, and each one puts itself first. The English-language guides do a good job of explaining the rule, but almost none of them compare tools or prices. We sell none of these products. We compared them on the four questions a freelancer or small business owner in Spain actually asks. What do I really pay per month, VAT included? Is the tool compliant, in the Basque Country too? Does it do what my business needs? What happens the day I outgrow the cheapest plan?
For each tool, we read the official pricing page: plans, limits on clients, invoices and users, and whether VeriFactu and TicketBAI are covered. We read the AEAT's own pages on the timeline and the two VeriFactu modes. Then we read recent user reviews, starting with the worst ones, because they show what the pricing page hides: charges after cancellation, invoices landing in spam, support that slows down when things get complicated.
Four tools you will see elsewhere are missing here. Sage, because its pricing page stayed unreadable and its prices changed from one page to the next. Zoho Invoice, free on the surface, but its VeriFactu submissions go through a paid third party after 50 transactions, with no public price. FacturaDirecta, whose pricing page was empty. And Factorial, an HR tool whose invoicing module has no public price. No verified price, no card.

Holded
Holded takes first place because it covers far more than the invoice. Quotes, invoices, bookkeeping, cash flow and a login for your gestoría (the accounting firm many freelancers in Spain hire) all live in one place, and it offers an English interface you can check during the trial. VeriFactu is included on every plan. Holded can also submit your records to the AEAT using its own digital certificate, as an authorized collaborator of the tax agency, so you don't have to install yours. For the Basque Country, Holded says it is registered with all three provincial tax offices for TicketBAI.
Read the pricing carefully. The headline price is a 50% discount on the first three months: Plus shows €7.50, then costs €15 a month. Plus also caps you at 250 invoices a year, about twenty a month. Above that, Básico is €29 for 1,000 invoices a year and Estándar €59 for 3,000. Avanzado (€99) and Premium (€199, unlimited) are for larger companies. All prices exclude 21% VAT.
The weak spot is invoice email. Several customers report that their invoices land in their clients' spam folders, and sending from your own mail server is reserved for a plan roughly twice the price. Support answers, but slowly on complex cases. Holded still holds 4.2 out of 5 across about 2,450 reviews. Not for you if you send three invoices a month: you would be paying for bookkeeping your gestor already does.
- VeriFactu on every plan
- Can submit to the AEAT with Holded's own certificate
- Gestor access included
- TicketBAI registration claimed in all three Basque provinces
- ✓Invoicing and bookkeeping in one tool
- ✓English interface offered
- ✓Public pricing from the smallest to the largest plan
- ✗Headline price is a promo: it doubles after 3 months
- ✗Plus plan capped at 250 invoices a year
- ✗Invoice emails sometimes land in spam
The most complete choice if your invoicing and your books should live in the same place, with an English interface to check during the trial. Use the three half-price months as a real trial, and count last year's invoices before picking a plan.
TS Facturas
TS Facturas is the new name for Billin, now part of the TeamSystem group (which also owns Quipu). It ticks the most compliance boxes for the least money: VeriFactu invoices, Facturae e-invoices for public bodies and TicketBAI invoices, all unlimited, on every plan. It is a registered TicketBAI provider. If you work in Bilbao, San Sebastián or Vitoria, it's the easiest tool to recommend.
The catch is the client cap, not the price. Básico costs €6.60 a month billed yearly (€80 a year) or €8 monthly, and allows 0 to 5 clients, 1 user and 10 products. A translator with six different clients in a year is already on Pro: €14 a month billed yearly (€168) or €17 monthly, for up to 50 clients and 3 users. Ilimitado is €23 billed yearly (€276) or €28 monthly, with unlimited clients and users. The trial runs 30 days with no card. There is no free plan.
Reviews flag a few annoyances: pushy sales tied to Kit Digital (a Spanish public grant for small business software), an ad you can't remove from invoice emails, and no per-user permissions. One more thing to check before you sign: whether it prepares your quarterly VAT (form 303) and income tax (form 130) returns. Sources disagree, so ask the vendor in writing.
- Unlimited VeriFactu, Facturae and TicketBAI invoices on every plan
- Registered TicketBAI provider
- 30-day trial with no card
- Básico at €80 a year
- ✓Lowest price with TicketBAI included
- ✓Three invoice formats at no extra cost
- ✓Clear monthly and yearly pricing
- ✗Básico capped at 5 clients
- ✗Ad in invoice emails
- ✗No per-user permissions
The best compliance for the money, and the first pick in the Basque Country. Count your clients for the year first: from six, you need Pro.
Quipu
Quipu is built for freelancers who don't want to become accountants. It reads your expense receipts automatically (30 a month on Starter, 250 on Solution, 350 on Premium) and walks you through your quarterly returns. Every plan is VeriFactu-ready, and Quipu publishes its compliance statement. That document is what matters: there is no official list of "approved" software, whatever many sites claim.
The pricing is simple. Starter is €17 a month, Solution €30 and Premium €59. You get one user on Starter and Solution, three on Premium, and each extra user costs €5 a month. The trial lasts 15 days with no card, and Quipu shows 50% off the first three months: Starter at €8.50.
Two limits matter for an international reader. Quipu does not support TicketBAI, so skip it if you invoice in the Basque Country. And reviews, which are good overall (4.3 out of 5 on about 300 reviews), point to weak multi-currency handling and slow support on tricky cases. Not for you if many of your clients pay in dollars or pounds.
- Automatic receipt reading
- Published VeriFactu compliance statement
- Starter at €8.50 for the first three months
- ✓Guided quarterly taxes for autónomos
- ✓Short price list, three plans
- ✓Among the best user reviews in this ranking
- ✗No TicketBAI
- ✗One user until Premium
- ✗Weak multi-currency
The most comfortable option for an autónomo outside the Basque Country who bills mostly in euros. Use the three half-price months to see whether the tax side suits you.
Anfix
Anfix has the lowest entry price of any paid tool here: €4.99 a month billed yearly, €5.99 monthly. Its pricing page says in plain words that every plan includes VeriFactu, so there's no paid compliance add-on hiding in the small print. The trial lasts 15 days.
The low price comes with a cap. Básico stops at 60 invoices and 60 receipts a year, with one user. Five invoices a month works; ten doesn't. Then the tiers climb: Avanzado €12.49 yearly (€14.99 monthly) for 300 invoices, Profesional €24.99 (€29.99) for 1,200, Empresarial €58.33 (€69.99) for 6,000 and Premium €83.33 (€99.99) with no limit. Stock (€9.99 a month) and projects (€4.99 a month) are paid add-ons.
The limit is depth. Anfix handles invoicing and basic bookkeeping well, but its reviews are more mixed than Holded's or Quipu's, around 3.6 out of 5. The pricing page says nothing about TicketBAI, so ask before paying if you work in the Basque Country. Not for you if your volume is growing: at 300 invoices a year, Holded Básico (1,000 invoices for €29) gives you more headroom.
- VeriFactu on every plan, stated on the pricing page
- Invoices and receipts from Básico
- Fine-grained tiers from 60 to 6,000 invoices a year
- ✓Lowest entry price
- ✓No paid compliance add-on
- ✓Public monthly and yearly pricing
- ✗60 invoices a year on Básico
- ✗Stock and projects cost extra
- ✗TicketBAI not mentioned
The right tool to start under €5 a month if you invoice rarely. Watch your counter: past 60 invoices a year, compare again.
STEL Order
STEL Order comes from field service: work orders, incident tracking, stock and a mobile app for technicians. VeriFactu invoicing sits on top, with a "compatible" label on every plan and a choice of mode, with or without real-time submission to the AEAT. A dedicated page covers TicketBAI too.
There's a Free version at €0, with no extra users and help center support only. Billed yearly, Lite is €288 a year before VAT (€24 a month), Business €432 (€36 a month) and Pro €648 (€54 a month). Monthly prices showed in dollars from our access, so ask for a written quote in euros if you want to pay monthly.
Its strength is people. Customers praise fast, reachable support, with 4.7 out of 5 on about thirty reviews from the past year, the best score in this ranking. Not for you if you're a consultant or designer: you'd pay for job and stock management you'll never use.
- Work orders, stock and mobile app
- Choice of VeriFactu mode
- Dedicated TicketBAI page
- ✓Free version to start
- ✓Best-rated support in this ranking
- ✓Built for teams on the road
- ✗Confusing price list
- ✗Free plan allows no extra users
- ✗Overkill for consultants
A solid pick for a small field service company that wants stock and jobs alongside invoicing. Get a quote in euros before leaving the Free plan.
Odoo
Odoo is an ERP: invoicing, sales, inventory, accounting and point of sale, each as a separate app. For Spain, Odoo ships an official VeriFactu module, point of sale included, in versions 18 and 19, and says VeriFactu submission costs nothing extra.
The little-known trick: Odoo gives you one app free, with unlimited users, on its hosted version. Use only Invoicing and you're sending VeriFactu invoices for €0. We only rank Odoo for that €0 offer: from the second app (inventory, sales) you change plans, and we couldn't read that price in euros. Get it quoted before you build around it.
The limit is setup. An ERP needs configuring: chart of accounts, taxes, invoice templates, user rights. The cost of a partner to do that never appears on the price list, and it's often the biggest line. For the Basque Country, Odoo also documents an official TicketBAI module, covering sales and vendor invoices in all three provinces. Not for you if you just want to send invoices: TS Facturas or Anfix will be running much sooner.
- Official VeriFactu module, point of sale included
- One free app with unlimited users
- Invoicing, stock and accounting in one system
- ✓VeriFactu invoicing for €0 with a single app
- ✓Scales with the company
- ✓No extra fee announced for VeriFactu submission
- ✗Long setup, often with a partner
- ✗Setup cost never shown
- ✗TicketBAI is one more module to configure
A good base for an SMB that wants one system for everything. Start with the free Invoicing app alone, and only pay a partner when you add stock or sales.
Contasimple
Contasimple, now part of the Cegid group, has a free-forever plan, the most limited free plan in this ranking. Básico costs nothing, but it's built for a slow start: 12 documents a year, 10 clients and 1 user. Roughly one invoice a month. Several features are only open on a 30-day trial.
Above that, Profesional costs €12.95 a month for 500 documents a year, including e-invoices to public bodies through the FACe platform. Ultimate, at €19.95, removes the volume caps. The point-of-sale module is a paid extra. Contasimple has pages on VeriFactu and TicketBAI but doesn't spell out which plan covers what, so ask in writing before paying.
Its reviews are the most divided in this ranking: 3.5 out of 5, with a third of ratings at one star. The same complaints keep coming: slowdowns and outages after an update, only one line of business per account, charges after cancellation, and a digital certificate rejected because it wasn't issued by the FNMT (the Spanish public body that issues most certificates). On the other side, several customers praise the phone support. Not for you if you run two separate activities.
- Free-forever plan
- E-invoices to public bodies from Profesional
- Phone support praised in reviews
- ✓€0 for your very first clients
- ✓Simple tiers
- ✓Pages on both VeriFactu and TicketBAI
- ✗12 documents a year on the free plan
- ✗One line of business per account
- ✗Divided reviews: outages, charges after cancellation
Handy for your first invoices at no cost. Once you pass one invoice a month, compare it with Anfix or TS Facturas, and keep written proof if you cancel.
AEAT free app
Spain's tax agency offers its own free VeriFactu invoicing app. You log in with a digital certificate, an electronic DNI or Cl@ve (the Spanish public services login). Invoices it issues are compliant by design, and there's no subscription to watch. This is probably the "AEAT software" some English guides describe; it's one option, not a requirement.
It does the bare minimum. No mobile app, no product catalog, no stock, no payment tracking, no link to your gestor, no integrations, no vendor support. It's for invoicing identified clients; simplified receipts for a shop don't belong there. It also doesn't appear to offer a data export, so check that before you put a year of invoices into it.
Not for you if you invoice more than a few times a month, or want your gestor to pick everything up without retyping. The time spent copying data costs more than TS Facturas at €6.60 or Anfix at €4.99.
- Free, run by the tax agency
- Compliant by design
- Login with certificate, electronic DNI or Cl@ve
- ✓€0 with no time limit
- ✓No compliance risk
- ✓Nothing to cancel
- ✗No receipts, catalog or stock
- ✗No mobile app or support
- ✗No link to your gestor
Enough for three or four invoices a month to identified clients. Beyond that, a €5 to €7 tool saves you more time than it costs.
VeriFactu: what the rules actually say
Most pages get the dates wrong, one way or the other. Some still talk about 2026; others present 2028 as settled. Here's where things stand.
The legal deadlines in force are in 2027: early in the year for companies paying corporate tax, mid-year for everyone else, autónomos included. They come from a first one-year delay decided at the end of 2025. Since then, the Ministry of Finance has announced a further delay to 2028, to line VeriFactu up with B2B e-invoicing. But an announcement isn't a law published in the BOE (Spain's official gazette). Until it is, plan for 2027. If the delay is confirmed, you'll simply be ready early.
Don't confuse VeriFactu with B2B e-invoicing. That's a separate obligation coming later, first for companies with more than €8 million in revenue.

What's at stake
- Check where you invoice: common territory, Basque Country (TicketBAI) or Navarre.
- Ask the vendor for its VeriFactu compliance statement, in writing.
- Check the entry plan's caps: clients, invoices and users per year.
- Work out the monthly price with 21% VAT, not just the yearly headline.
- If you bill in foreign currencies, check how the tool converts them.
- Make sure you can export all your invoices before you subscribe.
Six tips to pay the right price and stay compliant
What pricing pages leave out, and what users find out after paying.
Compare monthly prices, VAT included
BudgetNearly every vendor leads with a "from" price before VAT that is often a yearly price or a launch promo. Holded Plus shows €7.50, a first-three-months promo: after that it's €15 a month, or €18.15 with 21% VAT (our math). TS Facturas Básico goes from €6.60 to €8 monthly, €9.68 with VAT. Anfix Básico goes from €4.99 to €5.99, €7.25 with VAT.
If you're just starting out in Spain, pay monthly for a quarter, then switch to yearly once you're sure. And Anfix shows a discount code on its pricing page, ANFIX20, for 20% off every plan: Básico drops to €3.99 a month billed yearly.
- Holded Plus, monthly
- €18.15 with VAT
- TS Facturas Básico, monthly
- €9.68 with VAT
Check the cap before the price
TrapThe cheapest plan is usually limited where you don't look. TS Facturas Básico stops at 5 clients, Holded Plus at 250 invoices a year, Anfix Básico at 60 invoices a year and Contasimple's free plan at 12 documents a year. Count last year's clients and invoices, add a 30% margin, and pick the plan that fits.
- TS Facturas Básico
- 5 clients
- Anfix Básico
- 60 invoices/yr
Billing foreign clients: convert on the day
ExpatsInvoicing a client in London or New York doesn't take you out of VeriFactu: the rule follows your software and your Spanish tax registration, not your client. For an invoice in another currency, convert the amount at the official rate of the day for your records. Check how your tool handles it before you commit: multi-currency is a known weak spot for Quipu.
Choose your VeriFactu mode on purpose
RulesVERI*FACTU mode sends each invoice to the AEAT. It's simpler: you don't have to prove how you store records, since the AEAT already has them. Non-VERI*FACTU mode keeps signed records on your side and you must produce them during an audit. The catch: once you start sending in VERI*FACTU mode, you can't leave it before the end of the calendar year. Decide with your gestor, not on a whim in a setup screen.
Switch tools at the end of a quarter
MigrationSwitching mid-quarter means filing VAT from two systems. Wait for the end of a quarter, or better the end of the year, when the cycle is closed. Before leaving, export clients, products and invoices as CSV, and keep PDFs of every invoice you issued. Your invoice numbering must carry on with no gaps in the new tool.
Be wary of "free with Kit Digital" offers
TrapKit Digital is a Spanish public grant for small business software. Some resellers use it to sign people up to subscriptions sold as free. In reviews, customers describe a grant that was refused followed by a subscription they were billed for anyway. Read what you sign, and ask what you'll pay if the grant isn't approved. Same reflex when you cancel: several Contasimple customers report charges after leaving. Keep written proof of your request.
Your invoicing is compliant. Now what?
Your VeriFactu tool is up and running? Here's where to go next, depending on your business.
VeriFactu software · FAQ
What is VeriFactu, in plain English?
It's Spain's standard for invoicing software, born from the 2021 anti-fraud law. Your software gives each invoice a hash chained to the previous one and a QR code, so invoices can't be edited or deleted without a trace. In VERI*FACTU mode, it also sends each record to the AEAT as you go. VeriFactu isn't a government app you must use: it's a set of rules your own software has to meet.When does VeriFactu become mandatory?
Under the rules in force, in 2027: early in the year for companies paying corporate tax, mid-year for everyone else, autónomos included. The Ministry of Finance has announced a delay to 2028, but it hasn't been published in the BOE yet. Until it is, the 2027 dates apply. Tip: pick your tool now and start in test mode, before every vendor's support line gets swamped.Do I need VeriFactu as a freelancer with only foreign clients?
Yes, if you're registered for tax in Spain. The rule applies to the software you invoice with, wherever your clients are. For invoices in dollars or pounds, convert at the official rate of the day for your records. And remember: once issued, an invoice can't be edited; you issue a corrective one instead.Is the AEAT's free app enough?
For a few invoices a month to identified clients, yes. It's free and compliant by design. But it has no mobile app, catalog, stock, payment tracking or support, and it doesn't appear to export your data. Beyond a handful of invoices, Anfix at €4.99 a month or TS Facturas at €6.60 will save you more time than they cost.Which VeriFactu tools work in English?
Holded and Odoo both offer English interfaces, though we haven't confirmed every screen. Holded also covers bookkeeping and gives your gestor access; Odoo has a free single-app plan. For any tool, check the interface language during the trial before you commit.Is VeriFactu the same as e-invoicing?
No. VeriFactu secures how your invoices are recorded, whoever the client is, and can report them to the AEAT. B2B e-invoicing is a separate obligation: invoices exchanged between businesses in a structured format. It comes later, starting with companies above €8 million in revenue. Some tools handle both, like TS Facturas with the Facturae format.What about the Basque Country and TicketBAI?
VeriFactu doesn't apply there. The three Basque provinces run TicketBAI, already in force: each invoice carries a TicketBAI code and QR and goes, signed, to the provincial tax office. Your software must be registered with that office. In this ranking, TS Facturas supports TicketBAI on every plan, and Holded and STEL Order say they do too. Quipu doesn't.Does a company based outside Spain need VeriFactu?
Usually not, unless it issues invoices under Spanish tax rules, for example through a branch or permanent establishment in Spain. A Spanish subsidiary is fully in scope, with the company deadline. No official text details the case of a foreign parent invoicing from abroad, so have a tax adviser on both sides confirm your situation.VERI*FACTU mode or non-VERI*FACTU mode?
For most freelancers and small companies, VERI*FACTU mode is simpler: each invoice goes to the AEAT as you issue it, and you don't have to prove how you store your records. Non-VERI*FACTU mode suits businesses that want to keep their data and hand it over only on request, with stricter signing and storage. Either way, once you start sending in VERI*FACTU mode, you stay until the end of the calendar year.
