Enterprise ERP tax engine
Vertex is a listed tax technology company selling sales and use tax, VAT, e-invoicing and returns software, mostly embedded in ERPs such as SAP and Oracle. Pricing is by quote, and returns, certificates and e-invoicing are separate modules.
Choose Vertex if you’re one of these:
TaxJar starts at $39 a month (Starter: up to 200 orders a month, two filings a year). That price covers every state and country you sell into. Vertex doesn’t publish prices: you ask for a quote. Filing is optional with TaxJar: one US state filed for you costs $50 per filing. Vertex doesn’t publish a price for US filing.
