Considered Both Products	TaxJar MM Martin Mitchell Online Sales Manager Chose TaxJar At the time we made the switch, Avalara did not appear to do what we needed. They did not try to stop us from leaving or seem to care why we were leaving. About a year later I did reach out to Avalara after a mailer we got from them. They did clear up that they could do what … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Bollhardt, MBA Chief Financial Officer Chose TaxJar TaxJar was a better price than Avalara, mostly because it was a streamlined version of Avalara. TaxJar offers a no-frills software that does exactly what you need it to do, calculate and collect sales tax. If you need something more robust then I would look elsewhere, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose TaxJar I thought taxjar had a much easier intergration and UI Incentivized Helpful? GS George Sleeman Owner Chose TaxJar I looked at Avalara in the beginning and the price point was way too high. I have been with TaxJar since shortly after they started and they are a great company. Watching them grow has been great. Just need to accommodate the accountant a little better. Incentivized Helpful? Stephen Steinberg Founder Chose TaxJar TaxJar is SO much cheaper than Avalara and SO much easier to use. Not even close - TaxJar is better. The only reason I would choose Avalara is if it had better native integrations with whatever software stack my business ran on. For our business, TaxJar made so much more … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Shatzkes CEO Entrepreneur, Manufacturer, Musician Founder/CEO Chose TaxJar I have not used any other products like TaxJar. I'm not even sure who the competitors are. I'm sure that they are out there, but this was the first one I found when looking for providers that worked with Amazon, and since it worked so seamlessly I never bothered to look for … Incentivized Helpful? Jessica Meadows Rich Owner Chose TaxJar I haven't used other products similar to TaxJar Incentivized Helpful? Kathy Simpson Founder Chose TaxJar I believe TaxJar is better suited to smaller, especially Home-Based businesses with its good customer service focus and more reasonable pricing for small biz. Avalara, as far as I know, is not priced competitively for micro-sized businesses. TaxJar began in the small business … Incentivized Helpful? Jeff McRitchie Vice President of Ecommerce Chose TaxJar TaxJar is less expensive, simpler to integrate and their billing is straightforward so that you don't have to worry about huge surprises at the end of a month or quarter.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Stripe If you aren't a tax professional, this is a must. Trying to manually calculate which county/city/state sales tax is owed will break your brain. Actually, even if you were a tax professional, why would you want to manually do it when you could just have a tool like this to calculate it for you. I wish it was also affordable to have it file for you and there are some crunchy bits, but its pros definitely outweigh the cons. Incentivized Jessica Meadows Rich Owner Read full review
Pros	Stripe The CSV upload for clients that do not have or want to connect directly is very good. It allows us to get a lot of the information done quickly. The cost is very competitive. According to our clients, the integration is relatively easy. For the most part, the reports are accurate. Incentivized GS George Sleeman Owner Read full review
Cons	Stripe Continually increase its native integration features with BigCommerce, which recently just opened up more Checkout APIs and Sales Tax APIs. The Amazon integration is confusing only because Amazon (sometimes?) calculates and collects sales tax on your behalf. It's not clear what's best-- to let Amazon do it for you or for TaxJar to handle it. Onboarding could be a bit easier and guided. Incentivized Stephen Steinberg Founder Read full review
Support Rating	Stripe We had a few questions about integrations & onboarding, and support answered quickly and in-depth. They understood our questions - which were a bit technical in nature - and were able to provide an explanation in a timely and specific manner that allowed us to get the system up and running quickly.

Alternatives Considered	Stripe TaxJar is less expensive, simpler to integrate and their billing is straightforward so that you don't have to worry about huge surprises at the end of a month or quarter.

Return on Investment	Stripe With regards to ROI, it definitely saves time. And time, as they say, is money. It may be hard to put a particular dollar sign on this, but it definitely has provided a positive return. It keeps me aware of where I have sales tax nexus that I might not know about otherwise. This is important. Even if I have to check it manually, at least I am made aware of where I need to file. It allows me to track how much in sales tax we've paid year over year, which is a good indication of how our sales are doing.
