Frequently asked questions
Direct answers about pricing, the product, the company, and your data.
Pricing
How much does Prophit.ai cost?
Two self-serve plans, priced flat per organization: Starter at $199/month and Professional at $599/month. There are no per-state, per-filing, per-transaction or per-module fees on these plans. Enterprise is contract-defined. A 30-day free trial includes the core compliance workspace.
Is exemption certificate management an extra charge?
No. Sales-side and purchasing-side exemption certificate management are included in every plan, including the free trial — certificate management is core to how the platform decides taxability, not a separate SKU.
Does the price change as I add states?
No. The $199/month and $599/month plans are flat per organization regardless of how many states you have obligations in. Plans differ by users and locations, not by state count.
Product
What does Prophit.ai actually do?
It is an indirect tax management system: sales tax compliance, purchasing (use) tax compliance, exemption certificate management on both sides, filing-ready worksheet preparation, analytics, and an AI assistant — plus standalone Sales Tax and Use Tax calculation engines (early access) that integrate with source systems through an API.
How is taxability determined?
Determinations run deterministic-first against published, source-pinned tax content, with a machine-learning fallback when no deterministic rule applies, generative-AI adjudication feeding review queues, and agentic watchers that keep the underlying state content current instead of waiting for a manual matrix update.
Is Prophit.ai AI-native or is AI a feature?
Prophit.ai was built AI-native rather than adding an AI feature to an existing product: generative AI runs in document ingestion, taxability classification, validation, and the in-app assistant, with machine learning and deterministic rules running in parallel and every material decision gated by human review.
Does a human review the AI’s decisions?
Yes, by design. Human review gates material decisions: calculations, corrections and filing-ready outputs are approved by a reviewer, and unresolved facts fail closed rather than being guessed. AI raises coverage; the review controls keep it defensible.
Does Prophit.ai file my returns for me?
The platform prepares filing-ready worksheets and return packages per state and period for your reviewer to approve — it does not submit returns on your behalf today. If fully managed filing is your deciding requirement, our vendor guides say plainly which competitors serve that profile better.
Where does the tax content come from?
From published, source-pinned research: the Sales Tax Atlas carries 51 state and DC guides, more than 8,000 product-treatment records and over 3,800 county and city rate pages, each pinned to the official source it came from. The same content layer drives calculation, so you can audit the rates before trusting them.
Company
How long has Prophit.ai been around?
Prophit.ai was founded in 2019 and has run production tax decisions for taxpayers since 2020 — use tax first, expanding into full sales tax compliance more recently — so the AI-native architecture has six years of production history behind it, not a launch-week demo.
How do I try it?
Start the 30-day free trial from the homepage — no charge, one user, one location, with the core compliance workspace including both exemption certificate managers. Self-serve paid plans start immediately; Enterprise starts with a conversation.
Data and integrations
What systems does Prophit.ai integrate with?
QuickBooks connects directly today, transaction history loads from CSV/Excel exports of any billing or ERP system, documents load as PDFs or images through an OCR and AI-extraction pipeline, and the API covers real-time calculation. Additional real-time ERP and billing connectors (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Stripe) are in development.
How hard is it to switch from another sales tax platform?
Switching is a two-step data problem — data in, data out — plus a one-time implementation. AI-assisted ingestion normalizes your existing exports, and your data comes back out augmented with determinations and review history. The switching guide covers per-vendor export checklists and cutover timing.
