Here’s what customers are saying

"Anrok shines with several features valuable for companies navigating complex tax obligations. Its physical nexus tracking is particularly useful, helping companies monitor sales tax exposure across regions, states, and even down to specific cities and home-rule jurisdictions."
Rachel M.
"Anrok's platform is highly intuitive, with no-code integrations that make setup and ongoing use straightforward for finance teams. It offers real-time tax calculation, extensive compliance automation, and detailed reporting, making it easy to track and manage global sales tax obligations."
Marie-Eve P.
"The integrations with NetSuite work flawlessly—sales tax is added to invoices automatically, updates flow through smoothly, and the overall accuracy of reporting is consistently impressive. The platform’s automation eliminates manual intervention, which not only saves time but also greatly reduces the risk of human error."
Leslie C.

What makes Anrok different from Kintsugi

AI you can trust, with experts behind every decision

Kintsugi's agentic AI makes autonomous compliance decisions without human validation or a transparent audit trail. That's a risk your revenue can't afford. Anrok combines explainable AI with licensed, in-house tax specialists who review every registration and return, so your filings are always accurate, traceable, and audit-defensible.

Integrations that just work

Anrok maintains deep native integrations with Stripe, NetSuite, Chargebee, QuickBooks, Shopify, WooCommerce, and more, with no ongoing endpoint management required. Kintsugi's API integrations rely on customer-managed updates, meaning engineering lift today and maintenance risk tomorrow.

Real global coverage, not early-stage pilots

Anrok provides full-service compliance (registration, filing, and remittance) across 100+ countries with tax calculation support. Kintsugi's international coverage is limited to the US, Canada, and select EU pilots, with no verified full-service global filings. If you're scaling internationally, there's no substitute for verified coverage.
