Numeral is not an SST CSP. full $75/return applies in all states including SST members. +1 more

TaxCloud

Starter

$4,298

Which returns land in SST states is estimated, not known: without per-state filing cadence the model assumes returns are spread evenly across your filing states, so 5 of 10 states means 60 of 120 returns. A footprint that clusters returns in non-SST states costs more than this shows. +3 more

249,996 orders/year exceeds the top published Starter tier (240,000 orders/year). The subscription shown is that published ceiling. TaxCloud bills orders above tier at the tier's per-order rate, so actual cost will be higher; Premium publishes tiers up to 480,000 orders/year. +4 more

Which is cheaper, Numeral or TaxCloud?
Numeral at the entry tier, $0/mo vs. $19/mo. But the entry-tier price isn't the whole picture: per-filing fees, transaction fees, and registration costs all shift the math. Run the calculator with your real numbers to see which adds up to less for your business.
Is Numeral or TaxCloud SST certified?
TaxCloud is. Numeral isn't. SST certification means free filings in SST member states for customers who qualify (no physical nexus in those states), and TaxCloud covers all 24 of them, which materially shifts the math against Numeral for high-volume sellers.
Does Numeral or TaxCloud support international VAT and GST?
Numeral does. TaxCloud is US sales tax only. If you sell internationally, you'll need a separate solution.
Does Numeral or TaxCloud charge per filing?
Yes. Both charge per-state filing fees on top of subscription. Numeral ($75/filing), TaxCloud ($45/filing). That cost compounds across every state you file in.
Who is each one built for?
Numeral targets Mid-market ecommerce and SaaS; strong fit for Shopify, Stripe, Chargebee native businesses; international expansion via 70+ country VAT/GST coverage. TaxCloud targets Mid-market ecommerce, $10M–$100M in revenue. Especially fit for Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Adobe Commerce merchants whose multi-state filing footprint is growing.
