Note: A2X prices are A2X Multi list prices from A2X's price list effective November 14, 2026: 1,000 combined orders with 2 sales channels, 5,000 with 4, and 10,000 with 5. A2X partner discounts (10% to 20% from 5 clients) apply to these prices. Taxomate pricing shown is the monthly Growth plan list price, which keeps channel connections unlimited.

What each client costs your firm

For a firm, the monthly price is multiplied by every client on the tool. Take a multi-channel client at 5,000 combined orders a month:

  • A2X Multi 5K: $179/month list from November 14, 2026 (up from $169). Up to 4 sales channels.
  • A2X with a Silver partner discount (15%, 15 to 39 clients): about $152/month from November 14, 2026.
  • Taxomate Growth: $85/month list. Unlimited channel connections.

For 20 clients like this, A2X at the Silver discount costs about $3,040 a month from November 14, 2026. Taxomate Growth at list price costs $1,700 a month. Clients who pay Taxomate directly get 10% off for as long as they subscribe when they enter your firm's partner code. Your firm's seat is free.

Single-channel clients cost less on both tools. A2X Amazon Starter is $65/month for 1,000 orders from November 14, 2026 ($59 until then). Taxomate Starter is $39/month at 1,000 orders.

Partner programs compared

A2X's partner program has four tiers by client count:

  • Partner (1 to 4 clients): 1:1 onboarding, unlimited training sessions, the A2X certification course, priority support, and a partner badge. No discount.
  • Bronze (5 to 14 clients): 10% discount, directory listing, and a dedicated account manager.
  • Silver (15 to 39 clients): 15% discount, co-marketing, and eligibility for the A2Xpert community.
  • Gold (40+ clients): 20% discount and a featured directory listing.

Taxomate's partner program includes a free firm seat, a partner code that gives your clients 10% off, a listing in the ecommerce accountant directory, and 1:1 onboarding. Taxomate does not offer a certification course.

If certification, structured training, and a large accountant community matter to your firm, A2X has the stronger program. If the main concern is the monthly cost per client, Taxomate is lower before any discount.

How client setup works in Taxomate

When you sign up, choose the option for setting up Taxomate on behalf of clients. You then work from a partner dashboard:

  1. Add a client. Enter the client name, select the sales channels they sell on, and choose who pays for the subscription: your firm or the client.
  2. Invite the client by email. Select the client's accounting software and send the invite. The client connects their own sales channels and accounting software.
  3. Complete the setup. When the client has connected, you finish the account mapping and tax settings.
  4. Switch between clients. The dashboard lists each client with their sales channels. You can open any client account or add a sales channel for that client.

Each client keeps the posting format your firm uses: line grouping by SKU, transaction type, or order; Xero invoice status; and journal entries or sales invoices in QuickBooks Online.

Which clients fit which tool

Many firms run more than one tool. Use the client's channels and accounting software to decide:

  • Wave clients: Taxomate. A2X does not connect to Wave. Taxomate posts Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Etsy payouts to Wave.
  • Clients on 5 or more channels: Taxomate Growth does not cap channels. A2X Multi allows 2, 4, or 5 channels depending on the plan.
  • Clients with a cleanup backlog: Annual plans include all your history. A2X history depends on the plan.
  • PayPal clients: A2X. Taxomate does not connect directly to PayPal.
  • TikTok Shop clients who need automatic posting or COGS: A2X. Taxomate's TikTok Shop connection is a beta: the seller sends each payout, and COGS is not available yet.
  • NetSuite clients: A2X. Taxomate supports QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Wave.
  • Firms that train all staff on one certified process: A2X, for its certification course and training.

To test Taxomate, set up one client with a recent payout. Compare the posted entry with the bank deposit and with the client's last A2X entry.

Why firms add Taxomate next to A2X

Taxomate gives firms a lower per-client cost for multi-channel clients, no channel cap, Wave support, free historical imports on annual plans, and client invites with a choice of who pays. A2X stays the stronger choice for certification, training, PayPal, NetSuite, and automatic TikTok Shop posting.
