A nexus check from your own orders, with no contact form
Avalara's free assessment asks for your business information. Nexustally measures every state's threshold from your orders file and never sees your data.
| Nexustally | Avalara free risk assessment | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | In your browser tab. No account. Your orders file is never uploaded. | Online form; asks for business information, which Avalara says it may use to contact you |
| Price | Free: every state's status, totals and checks for any number of orders, with full rows for the first 10 states. Pro: $12 for 7 days, $15/month or $69/year. | Free (standard also free; premium $10,308.38) |
| What it does | Checks your orders export against every state's economic nexus threshold. It doesn't calculate tax at checkout, register you or file returns. | High-level economic nexus estimate and state rules; standard adds physical nexus analysis and a 1-year lookback |

FAQ
What does Nexustally do?
It reads your orders and, for each state, measures your sales and transactions over the period that state uses, compares them with its economic nexus threshold and tells you whether you're over, close or under. It doesn't calculate tax, register you or file returns.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Your file is read by JavaScript in your browser tab and never sent to us or anyone else. Orders aren't stored, so closing the tab clears them. Your settings (as-of date, home state, company name) can be saved in this browser.
Which files can I use?
CSV, tab-separated or Excel with one row per order or line item. A date, a ship-to state and an amount are required; order ID, country, channel and customer type are optional. Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce exports are recognised. Download the template to see the layout.
What's free?
Importing any number of orders, the counts (states over, close and under), every check, plus full rows for the first 10 states, which are the ones over or closest to their threshold. Pro shows and exports everything: all states, the Excel workbook, and the state, monthly and order CSVs.
What isn't covered?
Physical nexus (offices, staff, inventory — including Amazon FBA inventory), local thresholds in Alaska and home-rule cities, Pennsylvania's $10,000 notice rule, registration start dates, tax rates and taxability, and income or gross-receipts taxes.
Is this tax advice?
No. Nexustally applies a rule table taken from the Sales Tax Institute economic nexus chart as of August 1, 2026, checked against several state sources, to the data you provide. Thresholds change; confirm with each state or your tax adviser before registering.
