Keep your current process if neither product fits the required evidence, integration or data-use terms. Check tax-year coverage, source-document traceability, reconciliation, export formats and client permissions. A practice manager is not a filing engine. A vendor demonstration is not a measured pilot.
Current prices are not verified. Request a quote for the exact product, seats and usage limits. Compare setup, host software, data preparation and review work as well as subscription cost. Usage credits, software seats and managed services are different purchasing units.
These alternatives address adjacent project tasks. Choose according to the output needed, rather than treating every product as a substitute.
Use the same project inputs and record output quality, correction effort, workflow handoffs and total cost. Confirm the required integrations and data-use terms. Choose on your acceptance criteria, not an unsupported performance score.
