TaxDome Pricing: What Tax Pros Say and How Paloma Compares

TaxDome pricing runs from $700 to $1,200 per seat per year, and its Pro plan has gone up about 67% since 2024. In tax pro reviews, the price itself gets mixed feedback, but one theme comes up again and again: paying a full seat for every person on your team.

I'm Abby, CEO of Paloma. TaxDome is a well loved product, and plenty of firms are happy paying for it. This page isn't a takedown. It's a look at what tax pros are actually saying, what TaxDome costs today, and how Paloma's pricing compares so you can decide what fits your firm.

What tax pros are saying about TaxDome pricing

We read through TaxDome reviews on Capterra, where tax and accounting pros share what they pay and whether it's worth it. Here's what stood out. We've left reviewers' names out.

What people like

A lot of reviewers feel TaxDome gives them a lot for the money.

• A firm president called it "Incredibly feature rich for the price point." (November 2025)
• A firm owner wrote: "Excellent value. Very comprehensive capabilities for my current bookkeeping business and future tax business." (August 2026)
• A CPA partner titled their review "Hard to Learn but Worth the Price." (February 2025)
• Several reviewers said price was one of the main reasons they chose TaxDome over other tools.

What people push back on

The most common pricing complaint isn't the base price. It's paying for every extra person.

• An enrolled agent wrote: "The pricing is high to add additional users and there are constant issues going on. The fees are constantly increasing." (February 2026)
• A firm president said: "Second user price is too much. Assistant rates should be more reasonable for small companies that are trying to keep overhead low." (August 2026)
• An owner accountant wanted to give an assistant scheduling access and wrote: "Needs to be a per firm price, not per user." (February 2025)
• Another owner, who otherwise had "no significant complaints," added: "I lack appreciation for two price increases in two years." (February 2025)

So the picture is pretty balanced. Many firms feel TaxDome is worth what they pay. The friction shows up when a small firm wants to add an assistant, a part time helper or seasonal staff, and each one costs a full seat.

What TaxDome costs today

Here's TaxDome's current pricing, straight from its pricing page, checked November 5, 2026. Every price is per seat, per year.

A few billing details matter for small firms:

• All plans are billed upfront, even on two and three year terms. Installments are only offered when an invoice is over $9,000.
• Essentials is for a single user, so adding anyone means moving to Pro.
• In 2024, TaxDome's own blog listed Pro at "$50 per month per user billed annually," which is $600 a year. Today Pro is $1,000 per seat per year on a one year term, about a 67% increase.

What Paloma costs

Paloma is priced by how many clients your firm serves, not by how many people are on your team. Adding preparers, assistants or seasonal help doesn't change your Paloma price.

Here's what's included:

• AI intake forms. Custom client questionnaires you send instead of paper organizers or basic form tools.
• Document collection and parsing. Clients upload their documents, and Paloma reads them, pulls the values out and files them into categorized folders.
• Data overview. Your tie out, with line item values linked back to the source document.
• Automated client reminders. White labeled reminder emails sent from your firm's own email.
• Secure return delivery. Finished returns go back to clients through the portal.
• Google Drive sync. Two way sync with your firm's cloud storage.

Paloma works alongside your tax software, like Drake, and we've completed SOC 2 Type 1. You can see more about our client intake, tax organizer and secure file sharing features.

How the two compare for different firms

Per seat and per client pricing land differently depending on how your firm is built. Here are a few hypothetical firms, using TaxDome's one year Business pricing and Paloma's pricing. We used Business because it's the plan TaxDome marks "Most popular," and it includes TaxDome's AI features, like AI powered reporting. These aren't real customers, and the two products don't do exactly the same things, so treat this as a starting point.

Because Paloma doesn't charge per seat, the savings grow as your team does. An assistant or a seasonal helper adds a full seat on TaxDome and nothing on Paloma. Even against TaxDome's lower priced Pro plan, Paloma comes out lower for each of these firms, but it's always worth running your own numbers. Beyond the sticker price, Paloma is built for firms whose biggest time sink is intake and chasing documents, and the hours you save there matter as much as the subscription.

When Paloma is a good fit

• You're a newer firm. The Firm Starter Pack is built for firms getting started.
• Your team changes during the year. Adding an assistant or seasonal helper doesn't change your Paloma price.
• Your biggest headache is intake and documents. If tax season means chasing clients for W-2s and retyping numbers, that's exactly what we're built for.
• You already have tax software you like. Paloma sits in front of Drake and similar tools instead of asking you to switch.
• You want monthly pricing. No large upfront payment before busy season brings in revenue.

When TaxDome may be the better fit

• You want one system for everything. If you need a CRM, client portal and team chat in a single platform, TaxDome covers more ground than we do.
