| Competitor | Pros of ProConnect Tax Online |
|---|---|
| Drake Tax | ProConnect works fully in your web browser and connects directly with QuickBooks Online, which makes it a better fit if you use Intuit products already. It also lets you pay only for the returns you file, and you avoid large upfront costs. |
| UltraTax CS | ProConnect is cloud-based and removes the need to install heavy software. You can access your work from anywhere without extra hardware. That gives you flexibility that UltraTax CS, which is desktop-based, may lack. |
| CCH ProSystem fx Tax | ProConnect is easier to use for smaller practices. It offers a simpler, browser-based interface that fits better for teams that do not need the full complexity of CCH tools. |
| Lacerte Tax | ProConnect is more modern and integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks, which reduces manual work. It may also offer better value for practices filing mainly 1040s rather than more complex returns. |
| H&R Block software | ProConnect targets accounting firms and CPAs, which makes it more scalable for professional workflows. It includes built-in e-signatures and client portals, which are less common in consumer-focused H&R Block tools. |
| Competitor | Cons of ProConnect Tax Online |
|---|---|
| Drake Tax | Drake offers flat-rate pricing for unlimited returns, which can cost less over time for high-volume firms. It also has a strong reputation for responsive support, where users rate them higher than Intuit at times. |
| UltraTax CS | UltraTax CS includes a wider range of tax form types, especially for complex business, partnership, and corporate filings. That gives it an edge when you deal with more advanced tax scenarios. |
| CCH ProSystem fx Tax | CCH provides deeper functionality and broader tax compliance tools for larger firms with complex workflows. That added power may be missing in ProConnect’s more streamlined interface. |
| Lacerte Tax | Lacerte handles consolidated business returns and less-common forms with more flexibility. If your practice deals with complex filings, Lacerte might give you more control than ProConnect does. |
| H&R Block software | H&R Block includes live, in-person help and a physical office network, which ProConnect lacks. That may matter if you serve clients who expect face-to-face support or turnkey guidance. |
