# Shippity vs SalesTaxAssistant

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shippity at none against SalesTaxAssistant's 1. Shippity also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). SalesTaxAssistant's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SalesTaxAssistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Shippity asks for nothing beyond the download.

SalesTaxAssistant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shippity has 1.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Shippity ships an update every 2 months, SalesTaxAssistant daily. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
