Avalara

“I've also used Avalara to help with state registration but I don't think the cost benefit there is worth the price charged unless we are required to file immediately. … Intacct's Subscription Based billing is also integrated with Avatax.”

“Expensive - pricing outgrows your own business growth Pricing model is highly convoluted Often unhelpful generic support - not able to help with integration challenges Unexplained service outages or... … Avalara handles a lot of tax calculation and compliance use cases well and automates a lot of processes for you, however, the pricing model seems more convoluted and more expensive than competitors...”

“We have found that the "backfiling" service is so expensive it isn't even worth looking at - I was once quoted $1500 per return for a backfiling with the complete data already in their system. … Avalara's State Registrations option is pretty expensive and should be quicker and cheaper Avalara's State Filing Setup is not coordinated with their State Registrations, so you still have to set up...”

“The amount of time it will save on tax calculation alone makes it worth the cost.”

“So the start up price is around $3-4k in dev time, but then it's 1/4 of the price of Avalara andddddd IT WORKS!!!!! … I finally got them to remove the current charge, but they refuse to reply to me about the original charge.”

“The upfront costs may seem daunting, however after getting set up and acclimated with the system, it is worth the cost and saves so much time.”

“The amount of time saved calculating taxes is worth the cost.”

“We don't use CertCapture because we don't feel it's worth the cost; we already have a storage system internally, built on Sharepoint.”

“At this point it was not worth the cost, but as we grow that might change.”

“With the amount of additional states that we have added on, we would have had to hire another person for sure, which would have been significantly more expensive than the cost of the AvaTax product.”

“While there’s a cost to using Avalara, the time savings, reduced risk of errors, and confidence in meeting deadlines make the return on investment very worthwhile for my business.”
