Disclosure: Zamp makes sales tax software and a managed filing service. Zamp appears below as a third option. Facts about Numeral and Avalara come from their own public pages, checked on November 5, 2026. We say where each one fits better. How we compared
Short answer
It depends on how often you file. Numeral charges $75 for each return it files. Avalara charges $699 or $799 per state a year, and returns are unlimited. So count how many returns you file in each state a year:Sources: Avalara+1AvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked NumeralNumeral pricingnumeral.com/pricingChecked
- Fewer than about 9 (mostly quarterly or yearly filing): Numeral costs less.
- More than about 11 (nearly all monthly filing): Avalara billed annually costs less.
- No one on your team to handle sales tax: Zamp (our product).
Numeral vs Avalara is a choice between two pricing models. Numeral bills each return it files. Avalara bills each state you file in, with unlimited returns.

How we calculated this. These are list prices in US dollars, checked November 5, 2026. For Numeral, we multiplied $75 by the number of returns, counting one return per state for each filing period. Numeral charges "per return required in that state", so a state where you file separate local returns costs more. Avalara's returns are unlimited. For Avalara billed annually, we multiplied $799 by the number of states, with a minimum of 3. Billed monthly, Avalara Core is $79 a month for 12 months, or $948 per state a year, again for at least 3 states. Core + SST is $699 per state outside SST, and $0 in SST states for sellers who qualify. Avalara's page doesn't say whether you can buy this plan if none of your states is in SST. Its page is also inconsistent on billing. The intro describes $69 a month as "billed annually", but the plan card and FAQ show $69 a month or $699 a year, so confirm on your quote. Numeral Enterprise and Avalara's $50 million+ plans have custom prices, so they're not shown. The break-even points below divide Avalara's yearly price per state by Numeral's price per return: $699 ÷ $75 on Core + SST, and $799 ÷ $75 on Core.Sources: Avalara+2AvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked NumeralNumeral pricingnumeral.com/pricingChecked AvalaraAvalara pricing informationavalara.com/us/en/products/pricing.htmlFirst checked · Last checked
- The break-even is about 9.3 to 10.7 returns a year in each state. Below that, Numeral costs less. Above it, Avalara does. A state you file monthly (12 returns) costs $900 a year on Numeral. On Avalara's annual prices, it costs $699 or $799. A quarterly state costs $300 on Numeral, and an annual one costs $75.Sources: Avalara+1AvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked NumeralNumeral pricingnumeral.com/pricingChecked
- For all your states together, look at the average number of returns per state. Avalara Core, billed annually, costs less once you have at least 3 states and average more than about 10.7 returns per state. Core + SST costs less from about 9.3. Between those two averages, only Core + SST beats Numeral. If your other states file quarterly, Core + SST wins when about 2 in 3 states file monthly. Core needs about 5 in 6. With 10 monthly states, Avalara costs $1,010 (Core) to $2,010 (Core + SST) a year less than Numeral. With 6 monthly and 4 quarterly states (88 returns, 8.8 per state), Numeral costs $6,600, against $6,990 or $7,990 on Avalara. With 4 monthly and 6 quarterly (about 7 per state), Numeral costs $1,590 to $2,590 less.Source: AvalaraAvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked
- Avalara Core billed monthly doesn't beat Numeral at list price. At $948 per state a year, it costs more than Numeral even for a state with 12 monthly returns ($900). Core + SST billed monthly comes to $828 a year ($69 a month for 12 months), which is under $900. Either way, paying Avalara annually is cheaper.Source: AvalaraAvalaraAvalara pricing informationavalara.com/us/en/products/pricing.htmlFirst checked · Last checked
- The 3-state minimum hurts if you sell in only one or two states. Core Compliance costs $2,397 a year even for one or two states. Core + SST has no minimum. One monthly state would cost $699 there, against Numeral's $900. But Avalara's page doesn't say whether you can buy Core + SST if none of your states is in SST.Source: AvalaraAvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked
- SST states change the answer. On Core + SST, Avalara says qualifying sellers pay "$0 for participating SST states". Avalara counts 24 SST member and associate states, plus Pennsylvania. Say 5 of your 10 monthly states are SST states and you qualify. Avalara would cost $3,495 (5 states at $699), against Numeral's $9,000. Avalara says most remote sellers qualify if they have economic nexus but no significant physical presence in a state.
- Registration adds to the first year. Numeral charges $150 per state, so 10 states add $1,500. Avalara includes registration in SST states on Core + SST. Elsewhere, it's a separate service. Avalara's products pricing page lists it at $403 per location. If each state counts as one location, 10 states add $4,030. Avalara says its registration service pays state-level registration fees for you, except fees for forms you file yourself. Numeral's help center says state registration or renewal fees are "separate from Numeral's service fees".Sources: Numeral+1NumeralNumeral pricingnumeral.com/pricingChecked AvalaraAvalara pricing informationavalara.com/us/en/products/pricing.htmlFirst checked · Last checked
Cost is only part of the Avalara vs Numeral decision. Both vendors file your returns and pay the states. They differ in how much work they leave to your team: registrations, state mail, contracts and setup.

What G2 reviewers say. Numeral's G2 rating was 4.1/5 from 43 reviews on Nov 5, 2026. By our count, about 15 of the 43 praise onboarding or easy setup. Two prefer its pricing to Avalara's. One reviewer on the fee per filing:Sources: G2+1G2Numeral reviewsg2.com/products/numeral-sales-tax-platform-numerChecked G2Zamp Reviewsg2.com/products/zamp/reviews
"The fee per filing is pretty fair" … "the $75 per filing fee can add up pretty quickly if you need to file in multiple states every month."
Reviewers are split on Numeral's support. About half of the 43 praise it. But five of the six reviews rated 1.5 stars or lower (October 2025 to August 2026) describe support problems. Our Numeral customer support guide covers the support channels, response times and the full review breakdown.
Avalara

Avalara is the per-state option. You pay one yearly price per state. Returns are unlimited, and the base plan includes notice management.
sellers under $50 million in revenue who file monthly in nearly every state. A monthly state costs $699 (Core + SST) or $799 (Core, 3-state minimum) a year, against Numeral's $900. If your other states file quarterly, you need about 2 in 3 states filing monthly on Core + SST, or 5 in 6 on Core. Avalara also suits sellers with SST states who qualify, and Shopify stores that want tax calculated inside checkout.Source: AvalaraAvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked
What G2 reviewers say. Avalara's G2 rating was 4.1/5 from 940 reviews on Nov 5, 2026. That one page covers AvaTax, Returns, exemption certificates, 1099 and VAT together. We read the 60 most recent reviews. About 21 praise ease of use, 15 criticise support or account management, and 8 mention a hard implementation. Of those 60, 54 are labelled Incentivized.

"Avalara takes away the hassle of filing taxes." The same reviewer: "I found AvaTax complex to implement."
In that reviewer's case, engineering and finance teams integrated AvaTax. That's a bigger job than connecting a store.
"Sometimes it is difficult to get a hold of someone at Avalara to resolve issues"
On price, most reviews are critical. G2's search for "price" and "renewal" returns 17 reviews. By our count, 11 of 17 criticise high prices, price increases or renewal terms. Of those 11, 7 were first written in 2023 or 2024. Two call the price high but worth it, and one praises a renewal. A recent critical one says: "It is expensive and increases its price yearly." (Liliia P., Small-Business. Review on G2, updated Jun 30, 2026, originally submitted Dec 16, 2025. Incentivized review. Source: G2.com, Inc.)

Numeral vs Avalara for Shopify stores
On Shopify, the two do different jobs. Avalara can replace the tax calculation at checkout and then file. Numeral leaves calculation to Shopify Tax and files the returns.
- Shopify's automated filing is ending. It's closed to new sign-ups and covers sales only through December 31, 2026. Zamp's Shopify page summarizes this, with links to Shopify's notices. Returns for later sales need another filer.Source: ZampZampZamp for Shopifyzamp.com/for/shopifyChecked
- Avalara works on every Shopify plan. Avalara says it is "one of Shopify's select tax partners built directly into Shopify checkout" and supports Basic, Advanced, Plus and Enterprise. Collecting exemption certificates inside Shopify is for Plus stores. Its app listing shows plans "starting at $699/state/year".
- App Store ratings (Nov 5, 2026): Numeral Sales Tax has a 4.5 rating from 140 reviews. Avalara Tax Compliance has one review, too few to tell you anything.

Switching between Avalara and Numeral
Your state accounts belong to you, so a switch either way is mostly timing and paperwork.
- Pick the last period the old vendor files. If you're leaving Avalara, line it up with the end of the term on your order form. Numeral bills as it files, so there's no prepaid period to use up. The new vendor files the next period.
- Turn off filing in the old tool for every period the new one will file, so nothing is filed twice.
- Check your term. Avalara's pricing page shows monthly and annual billing but not the contract length, so read your order form before you give notice. Numeral's standard accounts are month-to-month.
- List registrations, filing frequencies and portal logins. Your state permits stay yours when you change vendors. The new vendor needs the account numbers and how often you file in each state.
- Export exemption certificates from the old tool for exempt and wholesale customers, and load them into the new one. Numeral's first 50 are free; Avalara Core includes exemption management.Source: NumeralNumeralNumeral pricingnumeral.com/pricingChecked
Numeral vs Avalara: FAQs
Is Numeral cheaper than Avalara?
It depends on how often you file. For a single state, Numeral costs less if you file quarterly ($300 a year) or annually ($75). For a monthly state, Avalara's annual prices cost less: $699 on Core + SST or $799 on Core, against Numeral's $900. Across all your states, Avalara costs less only when you average more than about 9.3 returns per state (Core + SST) or 10.7 (Core). That means filing monthly in nearly every state. Core has a 3-state minimum, so one or two quarterly or annual states cost less on Numeral. If you have one or two monthly states, ask Avalara whether you can buy Core + SST.Sources: Avalara+1AvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked NumeralNumeral pricingnumeral.com/pricingChecked
Does Avalara publish its prices now?
Yes. Avalara's pricing page lists Core Compliance at $79 per state per month or $799 per year, with a 3-state minimum. It lists Core + SST Services at $69 or $699, with no minimum. Both are for businesses under $50 million in revenue. Larger businesses get custom pricing.

Which is better for a Shopify store?
Avalara calculates tax inside Shopify checkout and files. Numeral files after Shopify Tax calculates. Shopify's automated filing covers sales only through December 31, 2026, so stores using it need another filer for later returns. The cost table above applies to both.
Do Numeral and Avalara handle state notices?
Avalara Core lists "tax notice management", and its SST plan adds audit liaison support. Numeral Professional lists a virtual mailbox for tax mail monitoring. Numeral's homepage says it responds to tax mail, but doesn't name a plan. Its help center says you usually stay the state's main point of contact, and Numeral prepares what you need to respond. Ask each vendor which notices it answers for you.
What does sales tax registration cost with each?
Numeral charges a one-time $150 per state. Avalara includes registration in SST states on Core + SST. In other states it's a separate service, listed at $403 per location on Avalara's products pricing page. Avalara says that service pays state-level registration fees for you, except fees for forms you file yourself.

Do I need a contract?
Not with Numeral. Standard accounts are month-to-month and billed as returns are filed. Annual or multi-year contracts are optional. Avalara prices per state, billed monthly or annually, and its pricing page doesn't state the contract length. Annual billing saves about 15%, so read the term on your order form.Source: AvalaraAvalaraAvalara sales and use tax pricingavalara.com/us/en/products/sales-and-use-tax/priChecked

Every Numeral and Avalara price and feature comes from the vendor's own pages, listed below and checked November 5 and 6, 2026. Prices are US-dollar list prices. Where a vendor doesn't publish a number, we say so. Our cost examples assume you're already registered and file one return per state each filing period. They use each vendor's published pricing, and the math is explained under the cost table. G2 ratings and reviews are as shown on G2 on Nov 5, 2026. We quote them word for word with links, label them Incentivized where G2 does, and credit "Source: G2.com, Inc." The theme counts are our own reading of the reviews.
