The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Fyle billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill; TurboTax do It Yourself federal filing ranges $0 to $149 with state returns billed separately at up to $139, so price rises sharply once a return needs more than the free simple-return tier

Where each one falls short

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

Fyle

  • Billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
  • The Growth plan carries a 5 user minimum and the Business plan a 10 user minimum, so the entry cost is set by the floor rather than the team
  • API access and the Sage Intacct and NetSuite integrations require a paid tier
  • ACH reimbursements and project expense tracking sit above the entry plan
  • Both published plans are billed annually
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations with 250 or more employees

TurboTax

  • Do It Yourself federal filing ranges $0 to $149 with state returns billed separately at up to $139, so price rises sharply once a return needs more than the free simple-return tier
  • Expert Assist and Full Service tiers add $89 to $209 or more on top of the DIY price for human review or full preparation
