## Pricing FAQ

### What counts as a filing?

Starter is priced per filing or registration, starting at $75 each. A filing is a return Kintsugi files and remits for you, and a registration is a tax registration Kintsugi completes for you. Exposure monitoring, alerts, and CSV transaction imports are part of the Free plan, and there are no transaction fees.

### Is the Free plan really free?

Yes. The Free plan is $0 with no credit card required. It includes global exposure (nexus) monitoring across the US and 100+ countries, historical liability auditing, nexus threshold alerts, AI-powered product categorization, address validation, Kin, CSV imports, and no-code integrations. Registering, filing, and remitting start on the Starter plan.

### Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. Kintsugi has no long-term contract lock-in. Starter is billed per filing or registration, and Premium is flat-rate pricing with volume-based discounts.

### Are there implementation or onboarding fees?

No. There are no onboarding fees and no transaction fees. Starter includes onboarding assistance, and Premium adds dedicated onboarding and account teams with SLA-backed support.

### What is the Kintsugi Guarantee?

The Kintsugi Guarantee is included with Premium. It is our promise that your sales tax, VAT, and GST compliance gets done right: we catch issues before you do, respond in hours, and if a calculation we made or a filing error of ours leads to penalties or interest, we pay it. The full terms are in your agreement.

### How does Kintsugi compare to per-state pricing?

Kintsugi doesn't charge a subscription for each state. Exposure monitoring across every state is free, and on Starter you pay only for the filings and registrations Kintsugi handles, starting at $75 each. Premium moves to flat-rate pricing with volume-based discounts.
