The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Conta Azul entry Essencial plan is restricted to businesses earning up to R$81K annually and only 1 user access, so it does not scale with the company; Avalara plans start at $699 per state per year, so multi-state sellers multiply that figure rather than paying one subscription

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Conta Azul

  • Entry Essencial plan is restricted to businesses earning up to R$81K annually and only 1 user access, so it does not scale with the company
  • Plan eligibility is tied to annual revenue bands (up to R$81K, R$81K-R$360K, R$360K-R$1.5M, R$1.5M+), not just feature needs, so a fast-growing business must upgrade plans as revenue crosses thresholds

Avalara

  • Plans start at $699 per state per year, so multi-state sellers multiply that figure rather than paying one subscription
  • Billed by transaction, where one API call is one transaction, so cost tracks invoice volume
  • The free option is limited to the Streamlined Sales Tax programme, in up to 25 states and only for qualifying businesses
