What real contracts include

Kintsugi's per-filing pricing is published and clean. The patterns worth knowing are about the model's economics at scale, and about a distinctive reliability concern that shows up consistently in public reviews:

• Per-filing pricing follows the same $75/return model as Numeral. No subscription tier discounts, no volume breaks. For a multi-state seller, the working math is similar to Numeral's: about $900/state/year on monthly cadence, before the $75 one-time registration fee per state. Transparent and easy to model, but cost scales linearly with footprint.[1]

• Auto-registration in states without economic nexus is a flagged failure pattern. Public reviews on G2 and TrustRadius describe the AI initiating state registrations on behalf of customers in jurisdictions where the seller had not yet crossed economic nexus thresholds. Once a state registration exists, it carries ongoing filing obligations that aren't easily unwound, making this the most distinctive reliability concern in public Kintsugi feedback.[2]

• Kintsugi is not an SST Certified Service Provider. Filings in the 24 SST member states are billed at the same $75 per-return rate as any other state. Buyers with broad multi-state footprints miss the structural saving available through CSP-certified vendors, where SST filings are covered free under the program.[3][1]
