The short version

  • Only Dinero has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Dinero free Starter plan is capped to businesses with revenue under 100,000 kr, forcing an upgrade to Starter+ at 245 kr/md (annual) once that threshold is crossed; Avalara plans start at $699 per state per year, so multi-state sellers multiply that figure rather than paying one subscription
