Accounly is the best alternative to Sphere
See why 3,500+ customers prefer Accounly for end-to-end sales tax compliance.
Both Sphere and Accounly automate many aspects of the tax compliance process, including handling registration, filing, and remittance obligations. However, as a fully -managed solution, Accounly 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.
Sphere offers a dedicated account manager, but only if you file in 10 or more regions. Accounly makes comprehensive concierge support available to all customers who file with us. Since sales tax compliance is critical for companies and is complicated, Accounly's tax experts are here to help via phone, email, or chat, or you can schedule a meeting.
Sphere doesn't list exemption certificate management among its product offerings. Accounly provides this critical service that many B2B physical goods companies and SaaS companies rely on when selling into certain industries. Accounly will collect, verify, store, and manage exemption certificates and apply exemptions so you don't charge tax when you shouldn't.
