What Quaderno does

Quaderno is a tax compliance platform for online businesses that sell across borders.

Monitor follows your sales against registration thresholds, including US economic nexus, and sends email alerts at 90% and 100% of a threshold. Tax Engine calculates the tax due at checkout through a REST API. E-Invoicing issues structured digital invoices and sends transaction data to tax authorities in Europe. Filing produces reports for your returns, or Quaderno can file them for you with the tax authorities.

Quaderno connects to platforms such as Stripe and Shopify, and developers can use the API for custom checkouts.

Pricing is based on monthly transaction volume. The pricing page lists four self-serve plans: Hobby (25 transactions a month, 1 user, 1 jurisdiction, 1 integration), Startup (250 transactions), Business (1,000 transactions) and Growth (2,500 transactions). The last three include unlimited users, jurisdictions and integrations. Enterprise is for businesses above 2,500 transactions a month and is handled through a conversation with the vendor. API calls are capped at 10 times the plan's transactions, and going over a plan's limit moves you to the next tier automatically. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and needs no credit card.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Covers monitoring, tax calculation, e-invoicing and filing in one platform
  • Higher plans include unlimited users, jurisdictions and integrations
  • REST API available for custom checkouts
  • Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required

Cons

  • No free plan is mentioned; only a 7-day trial
  • Hobby plan is limited to 25 transactions a month, 1 user, 1 jurisdiction and 1 integration
  • Exceeding the transaction limit moves you to the next tier automatically
  • Businesses above 2,500 transactions a month must contact the vendor for Enterprise
  • Plan prices could not be confirmed from the official pages provided

Our take

Quaderno suits online sellers, SaaS companies and platforms that want one tool covering threshold monitoring, tax calculation, invoicing and filing, rather than assembling separate services. Developers get an API for custom checkouts, and the plans scale with transaction volume. It fits less well if you need a permanent free tier, since only a 7-day trial is mentioned. Hobby is limited to 1 user, 1 jurisdiction and 1 integration. Exceeding a plan's transaction limit triggers an automatic upgrade. We could not extract plan prices from the pricing page, so check the official site for current costs before deciding.
