── ── Where Canopy is strong

Canopy treats IRS resolution as a first-class product rather than a feature, which is the honest reason resolution-heavy firms pay more for it. It publishes Standard at $74/user/mo, Plus at $109 and Premium at $149 on annual billing, then prices modules separately — Tax Workflow Automation from $34 per client credit, Close Automation at $10 per connected client per month, Tax Resolution at $50/user/mo, and KBA at $1.25 per credit — so the bill moves on two axes at once.

Choose Canopy if

If notices, transcripts and collections are a real line of business, Canopy's Tax Resolution module has no equivalent here and paying more for it is rational.

Choose deciqAI if

If you are a 1040 or bookkeeping-first practice paying for resolution tooling you rarely open, and the work still done by hand is chasing clients, deciqAI covers that at a flat price with nothing metered per client.

deciqAI vs Canopy — FAQ

Is deciqAI cheaper than Canopy?

On the published numbers, yes — Canopy Standard is $74/user/mo on annual billing before add-ons, deciqAI is flat from $30/mo. But they are not the same purchase: deciqAI has no invoicing, no e-signature and nothing resembling transcript pulling, so a lower price also buys less surface.

What does Canopy actually cost?

Two things stacked. The tier — Standard $74, Plus $109, Premium $149 per user per month on annual billing — plus consumption: Tax Workflow Automation from $34 per client credit, Close Automation $10 per connected client per month, Tax Resolution $50/user/mo, KBA $1.25 per credit. A comparison quoting only the tier understates it.

Does deciqAI handle IRS notices?

No. Notice and transcript work is flagged for a person rather than drafted, because it is judgment work with professional-responsibility exposure. If that is a meaningful share of your year, Canopy is the right tool and this is not a substitute.
