FilingLab vs ClearTax

ClearTax’s tech, paired with hands-on CAs.

ClearTax (now “Clear”) is fantastic if you want to file your own ITR or run e-invoicing at enterprise scale. It is less suited to a founder who wants the filing handled, the deadlines tracked, and a real CA on call. That is what we do.

Why customers switch

The four things ClearTax customers tell us tipped them over

1

CAs do the work, not you

ClearTax’s flagship products are DIY first — ITR, e-invoicing, ITC reconciliation. CA-assisted is a paid add-on, often ₹3,999+ for capital-gains cases. Every plan we sell is CA-led from the start, with a named expert.

2

One bill instead of three

ClearTax tends to price ITR, e-invoicing, e-waybill, and TDS as separate SaaS subscriptions. Our flat monthly fee bundles GST returns, TDS returns, ROC compliance and notice handling.

3

Compliance calendar tied to a person, not a notification

ClearTax sends you reminders. We send you a CA who has already started the filing — you sign the document at the end.

4

Direct assignment migration from Clear

Free migration in 5-7 working days. We pull your historical filings, reconcile them against 26AS / 2A / 2B, and surface gaps before they become notices.

Where ClearTax is genuinely better

Credit where it’s due

The most mature DIY ITR product in India — beautiful UX, free for salaried

Enterprise e-invoicing and e-waybill SaaS used by Swiggy, Flipkart, Titan

Multi-channel filing through WhatsApp / Microsoft Teams / Zoom

Taxcloud for CA firms — strong B2B2C reach

Strongest security narrative in the segment (ISO 27001 + quarterly VAPT, called out prominently)

Hard-number proof points: “₹5,346 Cr refunds delivered” — credible scale

Who should not switch

Stay where you are if…

If you are an individual taxpayer comfortable filing your own ITR, ClearTax is excellent and free. Same if you run an enterprise that needs production-grade e-invoicing APIs at scale. Our value emerges when you want a CA to do the work, not just provide a SaaS to do it yourself.
