Numeral is the best alternative to Vertex
See why 2,500+ customers prefer Numeral for end-to-end sales tax compliance
Modern, intuitive software
Vertex dates back to 1978, and its antiquated interface shows that it's still an old-school enterprise software solution at heart. While Numeral's AI-native platform is robust enough to support major enterprise workflows, its modern user interface makes navigation effortless.
Dedicated reps, not just a ticket number
Vertex offers premium support for an extra fee, but online reviews are full of complaints about the lack of upfront training, the ticket-based support system, and outsourced support services. Numeral offers all of its clients premium-level support that includes a dedicated account representative and access to tax experts via email or chat.
Easy, transparent pricing
Vertex's focus on large enterprises is clear, as its tools come at a high price that startups and smaller companies may struggle to justify. While Vertex doesn't disclose costs online, the company charges high licensing fees plus fees for basic services. Numeral has transparent pricing with standard charges for filing and registration and no contracts required. Numeral also provides nexus tracking at no extra charge, so you don't incur costs just to understand your tax obligations.
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.
