The short version

  • Only TaxJar has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: TaxJar both published plans include only 200 orders per month, so higher volume costs more; Tokeet the published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • They diverge on capability: TaxJar covers Tax calculation, Tokeet covers Reservation manager.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

TaxJar

  • Both published plans include only 200 orders per month, so higher volume costs more
  • The Starter plan at $39 per month allows only 3 data import integrations
  • AutoFile state filings are metered: Starter includes 2 credits a year and each extra filing costs $50, Professional includes 4 and each extra costs $55
  • Real time tax calculation API access requires the Professional plan at $99 per month
  • Phone support, a Customer Success Manager and a dedicated onboarding specialist require the Professional plan
  • The developer sandbox requires the Professional plan
  • The 10% saving requires annual billing

Tokeet

  • The published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • The suite is assembled from separately built applications, so navigation, terminology and data handling differ between Automata, Rategenie and the core product and staff need training on each.
  • Add-on apps mean the base subscription understates running cost, and a realistic quote requires listing which apps you will enable before comparing against an all-in competitor.
  • Support is largely ticket and knowledge base driven with limited hands-on onboarding at the entry tier, which is a problem given how much configuration the automation layer needs.
  • Accounting is limited to cost tracking and owner statements rather than full trust accounting, so managers in jurisdictions requiring segregated client funds still need external bookkeeping.
