Sales tax API, half the price of the leading providers.

Half the price
Pro tier covers 50K lookups for $799/mo. The leading sales-tax API charges $1,599/mo for the same volume — without flex-fee surprises the month you exceed.
Always current
Rates refresh daily for AUTO-class states (most of the country) and monthly for the two whose source files require a manual operator drop (AZ, NM). Same state DoR feeds traditional tax APIs pull from.
No cache pressure
A flat-fee subscription removes the per-call cost pressure that pushes customers of traditional tax APIs to cache rates for 30 days. Route every order live; delete the stale-cache layer.
Honest accuracy
99.5%+ accuracy, same on every plan.
Trial customers see the same answer Pro+ customers see. Premium ZIP+9 geocoding is on by default for every lookup — no tiered accuracy, no plan-based degradation. Rates validated continuously against state Department of Revenue source files.
Premium-everywhere quality
No tiered accuracy.
Every lookup — Trial through Enterprise — uses the same premium ZIP+9 geocoder under the hood. We don't ship a "cheap plan with worse accuracy"; tiered accuracy is dishonest, so we don't price around it. The only difference between plans is monthly lookup volume and what you pay.
Why we're cheaper
Same data, different price line.
We pull from the same Streamlined Sales Tax consortium feeds, state DoR rate files, and Census polygons everyone in the industry uses. The work isn't proprietary; the prevailing price tier is just where the incumbent providers have been comfortable for years. We're betting customers prefer the cost line going down.
