Result

countX fits if your problem is VAT registration abroad – that is what it is built for. KudTax fits the daily bookkeeping: reconciling channels, payments and documents, DATEV export, e-invoicing and OSS reporting from one cockpit. The two can run side by side.

Pricing compared

Net monthly prices at three typical volumes. Where a provider does not bill by orders, the derivation is given below – and the table says “not stated” instead of guessing.

KudTax: €0 up to 25, €19 up to 100, €49 up to 500, €99 up to 1,000, €129 up to 2,000, €149 up to 3,000 orders a month; above that Enterprise on request. Every feature in every tier, plus VAT.
countX

OSS filing +€99/month, VAT return €89 per country per month, VAT registration €499 per country, DATEV export €0. Preparatory bookkeeping with JERA is priced on request only.
What the price does not include
  • VAT return €89/month per country, VAT ID registration €499 per country.
  • OSS filing €99, Intrastat €99 per country, pro-forma invoices €99 per month.
  • Preparatory bookkeeping (JERA) priced on request only.

What countX does well

  • VAT registrations and ongoing filings in 16 countries including the UK and Switzerland – something KudTax does not do.

  • Free tier with an Amazon sales overview and warehouse setup recommendations.

  • Dedicated contact and complimentary registrations on the Professional tier.

Where countX hits its limits

  • Bookkeeping is a partner product (JERA) with no public price – a per-order comparison is not possible.

  • OSS filing costs €99/month extra; OSS reporting is included in every KudTax tier.

  • The bookkeeping page names only Amazon and eBay as marketplaces.

  • Net/gross, minimum term and trial are not stated; the .de domain is a parked domain.

What KudTax does differently

One plan, every feature

No module kit: marketplaces, payment providers, OSS reporting, e-invoicing and AI matching are included in every tier. The price depends on order volume alone.

Every channel in one reconciliation

60+ marketplaces, shops, payment providers and invoicing tools come together in one cockpit – payouts, fees and refunds are matched against documents.

Booking-ready for your target system

Export to DATEV, Lexware, sevDesk, BMD, SAP and more – as a posting batch with tax keys and document links, GoBD-aligned.

Start for nothing

Free for good up to 25 orders a month, no payment details. Tax advisors work directly in the account, per client.
