Result

Pathway fits pure Shopify merchants with a DATEV firm who mainly need the posting batch. KudTax fits when several marketplaces, payment providers and documents have to come together, e-invoicing and OSS reporting should be included without add-ons – and the price must not run away with volume.

DATEV Buchungsdatenservice, foreign currencies and PayPal creditor rules +€25/month each.
What the price does not include
  • Onboarding fee €29–149 by plan (waived on the annual term).
  • Modules €25–50/month each: DATEV Buchungsdatenservice, foreign currencies, PayPal creditor rules, single-item posting, e-commerce P&L.
  • Support packages: Relax +€200, Slack/phone €750, check-in call €500, quarterly audit €350 per month.

What Pathway Solutions does well

  • Very deep Shopify integration, including Shopify Payments and an invoice-printing app.

  • Dedicated SaaS plans for subscription businesses (Stripe Billing, Chargebee).

  • Large user base and many tax-firm partners.

Where Pathway Solutions hits its limits

  • Price climbs steeply with volume: €119.99 at 1,000 orders versus €99 at KudTax – and €189.99 versus €129 at 2,000 orders.

  • Key pieces are add-ons: DATEV Buchungsdatenservice, foreign currencies, single-item posting and an e-commerce P&L cost €25–50/month each.

  • OSS here means revenue split by destination country, not a filing.

  • Fast support (24h, key account) only on the Relax tier at +€200/month.
