Honest answer

When each one is the better choice

Each option wins somewhere. Two or more of these holding is a good sign it fits.

  • Karbon

    • Clients pay by standard card: Karbon lists 2.6% + $0.30 against Canopy’s 3.30% + $0.20. Karbon’s premium-card and Amex rates are higher, at 3.6% and 3.9% + $0.30.
    • A team of four or more wants to pay month to month.⁠12
  • Canopy

    • Your team is under four and wants monthly billing, which Karbon only offers from four users.
    • You want tax workflow automation or tax resolution as add-ons on the same platform.⁠21
  • TaxDome

    • You work solo: Essentials is for solo users.
    • You can commit to two or three years for a lower seat price, or add seasonal seats for tax season.⁠3
  • LOJIK build

    • The chasing depends on data outside the platform, like your tax software, a document store or the bank.
    • You’ve picked a platform and need it connected to everything around it.

Talk it through
What do Karbon, Canopy and TaxDome cost per person?

At listed annual prices, Karbon Team is $59 a user a month and Canopy Standard $74. TaxDome Pro is $1,000 a seat a year on a one-year term, less on two or three years. Karbon’s automatic client reminders need Business, at $89.⁠123

Do all three have a client portal?

Yes. Karbon includes one on every plan, Canopy includes one on every plan, and TaxDome includes a client web portal and mobile app from Essentials.⁠123

Can seasonal staff use TaxDome?

TaxDome Business firms can add seasonal seats at $500 a seat for a four-month term, and Pro firms can add monthly seats at $100 a seat a month.⁠3

When is a custom build worth it?

When the chasing depends on data the platform can’t see: your tax software, a document store or the bank. Pick the platform first, then build only what it can’t do. Each build is a one-time fixed price, quoted after we review the workflow.
