Looking for a TaxDome alternative?
TaxDome is a polished, US-built suite that many UK firms use happily. But it's priced in dollars, per user, billed annually upfront on licence terms of one to three years — and it was designed around US tax practice. If that shape doesn't fit your firm, here's a UK-built comparison.
Dollars, seats, and multi-year commitments
TaxDome's pricing starts at $800 per user per year (Essentials), billed annually upfront, with licence terms of one to three years. For a five-person UK firm that's a $4,000+ annual commitment, in a foreign currency, paid before you've run a single job through it.
Sodium bills monthly, in pounds, by client count — free for up to 5 clients, from £25/month (+VAT), with up to 25 users included. There's no annual lock-in to negotiate your way out of if your circumstances change.
Designed for UK practice
TaxDome grew up around the US tax season, and UK firms adapt it to UK work. Sodium starts from the UK side: Companies House is part of the core client record, workflows are built around UK filing rhythms, engagement letters and proposals follow UK conventions, and support runs on UK hours. It's founder-owned — built by Duane Jackson, who previously founded KashFlow and Staffology.
Sodium also includes a built-in MCP server, so AI assistants like Claude can work with your practice data — client queries, task updates, reporting — with your permission.
What TaxDome does well
TaxDome's client portal — with its award-winning client mobile app — is genuinely class-leading, and the breadth of the suite (documents, signatures, payments, CRM, workflow) means one subscription replaces several tools. Firms that fully commit to it, and whose workflows match its assumptions, get a lot for their money.
