Numeral is the best alternative to Sphere
See why 2,500+ customers prefer Numeral for end-to-end sales tax compliance
Fully managed solution
Both Sphere and Numeral automate many aspects of the tax compliance process, including handling registration, filing, and remittance obligations. However, as a fully -managed solution, Numeral goes further in making sales tax compliance hands-off for customers. Our tax experts even call states on your behalf and retrieve and respond to tax correspondence via a virtual mailbox.
Dedicated white-glove support
Sphere offers a dedicated account manager, but only if you file in 10 or more regions. Numeral makes comprehensive white-glove support available to all customers who file with us. Since sales tax compliance is critical for companies and is complicated, Numeral's tax experts are here to help via phone, email, or chat, or you can schedule a meeting.
Exemption certificate management
Sphere doesn't list exemption certificate management among its product offerings. Numeral provides this critical service that many B2B physical goods companies and SaaS companies rely on when selling into certain industries. Numeral will collect, verify, store, and manage exemption certificates and apply exemptions so you don't charge tax when you shouldn't.
While Anrok primarily serves SaaS companies, Numeral offers a flexible AI-native tax automation platform built for SaaS, ecommerce, marketplace, and enterprise businesses.
Companies that prefer Numeral's in-house filing process, dedicated 24/7 service, and simple pricing will find making the switch from Anrok effortless, thanks to Numeral's X-week onboarding process and white-glove service during migration.

You do not have to manage any part of sales tax compliance if you don't want to. Numeral provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use dashboard with one simple login to complete user actions, receive notifications, or review recent activity but you can choose to allow your account to run on autopilot and never use the dashboard if that's your preference.
