Avalara migration guide
You’re not alone — see why others left Avalara for TaxCloud.
“We were moving away from Avalara mainly because of the pricing, but also due to bad customer service.” — Tony Adornato, VP of Finance, Avanquest.
“We paid around $25 to $30k for TaxCloud, compared to $100 to $150k with Avalara. The pricing difference is huge.” — Grant Singleton, CTO, PangoBooks.
“Avalara was very expensive, and their customer support was not responsive. Every issue required a consulting contract, and they rarely helped us fix their mistakes.” — Richard Bell, Owner, UntilGone.

This guide isn’t a DIY walkthrough — it’s the same step-by-step checklist our team uses to guide real migrations, tested across hundreds of sellers and merchants who’ve migrated from Avalara to TaxCloud.
