GoFeed vs Quipu: invoicing the content you already manage

Two tools that start at different moments

Almost nobody genuinely chooses between these two, and that is worth saying before the table. Quipu starts once an invoice and a bank account already exist: it reconciles the bank, classifies the expense, computes the quarter and leaves the material ready for your accountant. Invoicing content work starts much earlier, in the brief the client filled in and the quote they approved, and ends in the document that closes that engagement.

That table reads badly if you are looking for a winner. It reads well if you are looking for a split: who issues the paper the client signs and pays, and who keeps the entry the tax agency will eventually see. When both jobs sit in one tool and that tool only does one of them properly, the other gets filled in by hand, and filling in by hand is where duplicate number series and amounts that no longer match the approved quote come from.

What Quipu costs today

Quipu publishes three plans and charges per account, not per user. It is a short ladder and easy to project: what climbs with the tier is not the number of invoices but the accounting depth, above all bank reconciliation and cash flow forecasting.

Two notes before those figures go into a spreadsheet. The first is that the site shows a considerably lower promotional price for the first three months, so the column that belongs in an annual budget is the standard one. The second is that paying yearly works out at ten monthly payments, two months of discount, and that the page does not state whether VAT is included in those figures. If your bookkeeping depends on the exact amount, check that on their own page before signing.

The compliance declaration, and why it is a serious data point

This is where Quipu separates itself from much of the market, and it deserves credit without hedging. It does not stop at a "Verifactu ready" label in the pricing table: it publishes a formal document, dated 29 July 2025, declaring that its system complies with article 29.2.j of Spanish law 58/2003, with the regulation approved by Royal Decree 1007/2023, and with Order HAC/1177/2024.

That same document answers a question almost no vendor answers in writing, namely whether the system can run in the alternative mode or only in the regulated one. Quipu answers that it was built so that it can only ever operate exclusively as VERI*FACTU. That is a closed, checkable answer, and it has practical consequences: every invoice you issue travels to the Spanish tax agency, and there is no waiting mode to fall back on during the transition period.

What is interesting about a declaration of that kind is not the marketing, it is the liability. A vendor who signs a document in that form is exposing itself to being held to what it says, and that is real information for whoever is choosing a tool. If you are comparing this class of statement across several Spanish programs, the full contrast is in Quipu, Holded and Contasimple side by side.

Which part of the regulation is here, said plainly

Royal Decree 1007/2023 is not one requirement, it is three, and mixing them up is the most common mistake in comparisons like this one. The first is that an invoicing record exists for every invoice issued. The second is that each record is chained to the previous one by a hash, so that an old invoice cannot be altered without breaking the whole chain. The third, and only in Verifactu mode, is submitting that record to the Spanish tax agency and printing the QR code on the document.

What is built in GoFeed is the second one: every issued invoice is computed over a frozen field order and linked to the previous one. The printed QR and the submission to the tax agency are not part of what ships today, and this comparison will not dress them up as if they were. It is the only piece of the product badged as pending and it is worth reading twice, because it decides who issues your legal invoices.

Around that chain there is what a Spanish agency actually needs for the document to come out right: your own numbering series, so white labelled invoices do not mix with yours and each series keeps its own consecutive count; eight VAT regimes with their exemption grounds, which is what you need when your client list holds a Portuguese company, a Spanish sole trader and a reverse charge transaction; and IRPF withholding, the income tax a Spanish invoice may retain, which is the field almost no tool designed outside Spain models at all.

The chain that starts at the brief

The case for invoicing where the work happens is not that invoicing is hard. It is that a content invoice is almost never written from scratch: it is copied from the quote, which came out of a brief, which captured what the client asked for. When those pieces live in four different places, somebody transcribes them, and transcription is where the expensive mistakes get in.

Here the chain is literal. The brief takes fifteen field types and can also be generated from a PDF the client uploads, so the starting point stops being a half remembered call. The quote is assembled from the service catalogue, so the line items already carry their description and their price. The contract inherits those lines. And the invoice comes out of that, which means the amount the client sees is exactly the one they approved weeks earlier.

Each of those documents is shared through a tokenised public link, with no account asked of anyone, and those pages are not indexed. The quote also records when it was opened, which is a small and very useful fact: knowing a proposal has sat unopened for four days changes the call you make. How the four pieces are ordered inside the product is on the quotes and invoices page.

All of it lives in agency workspaces, the ones with clients that have a fiscal identity of their own. A creator or in house workspace has no clients and no commercial documents, because in that model there is no third party to invoice.

What you will not find here

Three things, said early, because finding them out after signing up is worse than reading them now.

There is no bookkeeping. No double entry, no automatic journal entries, no bank reconciliation, no quarterly filings, no expense management and no payroll. The commercial document is issued in one place and the accounting entry still lives in your accounting software or with your accountant, exactly as before. There are no purchases either, so the cost side of your business does not appear anywhere.

There is no electronic signature. A contract is drafted with its service line items, shared through a link and signed outside the product, with whichever provider you already use or on paper. No signature provider is integrated.

And there is no formal compliance declaration. Quipu has one and this side does not, which is exactly the kind of difference an honest comparison puts up front rather than hiding three screens down. The full picture of what each Spanish program covers is in the agency invoicing software guide.

What Quipu does better

Four things, and you have already read the first.

The compliance declaration, dated and accessible, quoting the regulation and answering explicitly which mode the system runs in. Very few vendors reach that level of formality and none of the ones this site compares does it better. If your selection criterion is documentary, the conversation ends there.

Real accounting, which is its product. Bank reconciliation, automatic categorisation, tax forecasting, receipt scanning, a payroll importer, bank remittances and the statutory forms your accountant will ask for in January. None of that exists in a content tool and none of it is going to.

Unlimited quotes from the entry plan, with no document cap, which for a sole trader issuing a lot of small paperwork matters more than any advanced feature. And the short ladder: three plans, two months free when paying yearly, and a trial that does not ask for a card.

The sensible reading, then, is not to choose. It is to decide who issues the paper the client reads and who closes the quarter, and not to let both do the same job. What each piece adds up to in your case is on the pricing page.
