Its free Monitoring plan has no listed price and includes a nexus study, physical and economic nexus monitoring, threshold alerts, and exposure and historical-liability audits. Professional costs $75 a month; standard accounts run month-to-month and are billed as filings occur. That plan covers registrations, filings, remittance, autofile and autoregister, virtual-mailbox monitoring for tax mail, AI product classification, and exemption-certificate management. Professional registration costs $150 a month as a one-time registration fee per state and covers state registrations and support. Enterprise has no listed price and adds global coverage, a tax engine, API access, tax-lawyer consultations, and advanced reporting and analytics. Numeral was founded in 2022. The listed platform is API, so the available interface is intended for software integration rather than a separately described web application.

Vatstack is a VAT API for businesses selling telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic services to customers around the world. It provides rates for domestic and cross-border sales, updating them when government changes take effect. The API can calculate VAT-inclusive or VAT-exclusive prices, determine customer location from an IP address or billing address, verify VAT numbers for exemption, and adjust rates for some digital products such as ebooks. Real-time VAT and GST checks cover the 27 EU member states, Australia, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. EU and UK checks include a consultation number, and validation records are stored in the cloud and replicated between EU data centers on AWS. Users can import a CSV for bulk checks. Vatstack compiles VAT OSS and EC Sales List reports using European Central Bank exchange rates, and integrates with Stripe to sync invoices, location evidence and tax IDs and to adjust reports after refunds. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $15/mo.
