TaxJar vs Square

Based on the data on this page, Square is the stronger choice for most WooCommerce Marketplace store owners — 3.4★ vs TaxJar's 1.8★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.

Pricing entry tiers: TaxJar at Free, Square at Free. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.

Square has the larger user base (129 reviews vs 4), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. TaxJar's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage store owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Square; mid-market and enterprise store owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — TaxJar's 4-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Square's broader-but-shallower coverage.
