Transparency alternatives to Countx
Other Tax compliance software vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Countx. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 37 that differ from Countx on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Countx has 9 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Countx” is the one that closes them.
