The verdict at a glance

Juno scores higher overall (71 to 70), but the right pick depends on what you weight.

Filed is AI software for US accounting firms that reads client source documents, drafts and reviews returns inside the firm's existing tax software (CCH Axcess, UltraTax, Lacerte, Drake, ProConnect, GoSystem) and proposes planning strategies, sold as one flat firm-wide plan.

Juno is AI tax prep automation for small and mid-size US tax and CPA firms: it extracts data from client documents, builds workpapers, flags review items and pushes approved data into Drake, Lacerte, ProConnect or CCH Axcess for 1040, 1120, 1120-S and 1065 returns.
