Comparison: Keeper

The Keeper Alternative That Starts With Income

Keeper scans spending to surface deductions. That only works if the income side is already correct — and for platform earners, it usually is not.

The Keeper Way

Built for a different job

Ease of Use

"Not built for platform income."

  • Deduction-led: assumes income is already understood
  • Bank feed shows net payouts, hiding platform fees
  • US-focused tax rules and filing flow
  • Multi-currency income is not consolidated

The PlatformTaxHub Way

Automated, Unified, Clear

Automatic Tax Estimates

"Worldwide income tracking, with country-specific tax logic where it is live."

  • Platform fees captured as a deductible category in their own right
  • AI deduction discovery informed by your income mix
  • Country-specific rules beyond the US

When Keeper is the better choice

Keeper is the right choice if you are filing in the US and want deductions found for you rather than entered by you. Bank-feed scanning with human review catches write-offs that people routinely miss, and having an integrated filing path at the end of it means the year closes inside one product. If your income is US-based and reasonably simple, and the deduction side is where you are losing money, stay with Keeper.
