Holded runs your business ops...
Tootela runs your whole team
Holded is a clean, European business suite: CRM, invoicing, HR, and projects under one roof. Tootela does all of that: and adds the communication layer where your team actually spends their day.
Two tools, two missions
Not competitors. Just built for fundamentally different problems.
What actually changes with Holded
Operations and collaboration are two different problems
No team chat: your team still lives in Slack
Holded covers your business operations beautifully. But it has no messaging layer. Your team still runs on Slack or Teams for daily communication: which means decisions, updates, and context still live outside your main tool.
Built for finance and ops: not for the whole team
Holded is designed for founders and finance teams who need invoicing, accounting, and CRM. Developers, designers, support agents, and HR teams are not primary users. Tootela is built for every department to actually work in.
Limited collaboration features
Holded's project module covers tasks and basic timelines. But there is no shared docs, no team knowledge base, no channels. For a team that collaborates intensely on deliverables, Holded leaves a gap that requires another tool to fill.
“Holded runs your business.
Tootela runs your team.”
Operations and collaboration are two different problems
Tootela solves both: so your team never needs to leave.
Holded + Slack + Jira is still three tools, three bills
That's often more than €50 per person per month. For tools that don't talk to each other and data scattered everywhere.
Your team spends the day switching tabs
Context switching costs an average of 6 hours per week per employee. That's a quarter of a working day, every single week.
Holded centralizes your back office. Tootela centralizes your team.
Holded is excellent at keeping your business data organized. But your team's daily work: conversations, project collaboration, support tickets: still happens elsewhere. Tootela brings both worlds together.
Tootela is right for you if…
Good fit
Not yet a fit
Full honesty: Holded is a genuinely excellent business management tool for European SMEs, especially if accounting and invoicing are central to your workflow. Tootela is the right choice when you want to add the collaboration layer: chat, docs, and a workspace your entire team: not just finance: works in every day.
