After negotiation, it feels fair, but it also feels like they nickel and dime. There's an additional charge for every single thing. I feel like that's an outdated form of pricing where most companies these days offer more of a package that you purchase.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Avalara shows that it generally works on a slightly different model than their competitors, which usually offer an enterprise model based on revenue for the organization overall. Avalara focuses their pricing more on a counter or clicks based on the number of transactions or pings against the system. That can add up very quickly if sending over, for example, quotations, orders, and invoices. This is always something that has to be thought through upfront in terms of what that volume may look like because otherwise the cost can escalate and get out of hand. Then there is a need to look at the other functionality that may be needed, such as use tax, other countries, and reporting because those are separate add-on modules as well with separate licensing costs.
