How much does TaxCloud cost?

TaxCloud publishes its pricing. No sales call required, no custom quote. Here’s what you’d actually pay.

Plans and base pricing

Month-to-month pricing is available if you prefer not to commit annually. Annual plans include a discount built into the rates above.

The SST variable — the biggest cost driver

For qualifying remote sellers, the most important number is not the base plan price. It’s whether your state footprint includes SST member states, and whether you’re enrolled through a Certified Service Provider.

TaxCloud is a Certified Service Provider (CSP) in the Streamlined Sales Tax program. Qualifying remote sellers — businesses with no employees, inventory, or offices outside their home state — get registration, calculation, filing, and remittance in all 24 SST member states included at no additional charge. The state compensates TaxCloud directly through the program.

What that means in practice:

For a qualifying seller with 12 SST states and 8 non-SST states filing monthly, the annual cost looks like: $799 (Premium plan) + under $2,880 for non-SST filings = roughly $3,700/year total. The SST portion — 12 states × 12 months — costs $0.

The same footprint on TaxJar at $50/filing: $799 plan equivalent + $12,000/year in filing fees = $12,000+ annually. The gap is the SST enrollment benefit that TaxJar doesn’t offer.

Registration fees

New sellers who need to register in multiple states before compliance begins pay $249 per non-SST state. SST registrations are handled through the SST Central Registration system and included.

What’s included beyond the base plan

TaxCloud’s pricing includes capabilities that competitors charge extra for or don’t offer at all:

• Filing across all 50 US states and Canada — no additional charge for Canada coverage
• Virtual mailbox / state notice management — incoming state correspondence is routed and actioned by TaxCloud’s team, not your inbox
• Dedicated onboarding manager for mid-market migrations — no additional charge
• Nexus tracking — threshold monitoring so you know when you’re approaching registration requirements
• Exemption certificate management — collecting and storing exemption certificates for B2B customers

Separate services (priced independently): Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (VDAs), backfiling for historical periods before you were a TaxCloud customer, and audit support are handled by TaxCloud’s services team at separate pricing. These are not included in the platform subscription.

How TaxCloud compares on total cost

This is what a mid-market brand with 20 states of nexus (10 SST, 10 non-SST) filing monthly would typically pay annually:

These are illustrative ranges. Actual TaxJar and Avalara costs depend on specific plan tier, negotiated rate, and state configuration. TaxCloud and Numeral costs use published pricing.

Is TaxCloud right for you?

The cost math works clearly in TaxCloud’s favor for:

• Brands with 5+ states of nexus, especially if your footprint overlaps with SST member states
• Sellers currently on Avalara or TaxJar who want to see whether SST enrollment applies
• Businesses that want published pricing and month-to-month availability without a sales call

The cost math is less decisive for:

• Sellers with 1–3 states, all non-SST: TaxJar’s UX may offset the small filing fee gap
• Enterprise organizations with SAP/Oracle requirements that drive them toward Avalara regardless of cost
• Sellers with significant physical nexus in multiple SST states (disqualifying them from CSP benefit)
