Frequently asked questions
Zamp is a sales tax tool that helps U.S. ecommerce sellers calculate, collect, and file state sales tax. It offers core sales tax functionality, but lacks some of the cost-saving benefits of TaxCloud, such as our participation in the Streamlined Sales Tax program.
The best fit ultimately depends on your company’s priorities. It’s worth noting that Zamp offers users fewer built-in savings than TaxCloud, and its monthly price tag can be a bit high for some businesses.
TaxCloud features transparent pricing, robust compliance functionality, and live customer support from trained tax experts, making it the superior choice for many companies.
For small businesses, TaxCloud is the clear winner. Its affordable Starter plans, seamless integrations, and free SST services in 24 states make it the better option for companies that have fewer resources to work with than large enterprises might.
Zamp charges standard service fees that vary based on transaction volumes. Users have noted that this can make it difficult to get a sense of how much they’ll be paying upfront. Customers have also pointed out that if your account is suspended or deactivated, Zamp charges a reactivation fee to bring it back in good standing.
Both platforms offer automated tax calculation, collection, filing, and remittance. However, TaxCloud’s long-standing role as a certified SST provider makes it the better option for companies doing business in the 24 participating states.
TaxCloud even provides personalized audit support, so you’ll have everything you need if your business becomes the target of regulatory scrutiny.
It couldn’t be simpler! Just follow these 6 steps below, and you’ll be looking at a smooth and secure data migration:
- Export your company’s historical sales and tax data from Zamp.
- Connect TaxCloud to your preferred ecommerce platforms and accounting tools.
- List each state where your business collects sales tax — don’t forget your registration details and filing schedules.

- Start streamlining your sales tax calculation, collection, filing, and remittance with TaxCloud.
