Why 1099 Contractors keep coming back to this
1099 Contractors usually end up on FlyFin, Keeper Tax, or QuickBooks Self-Employed. The complaints that keep coming up: keeper tax and flyfin require users to link bank accounts and create full accounts before showing any concrete tax savings number, forcing commitment before understanding value. (source: g2 reviews, paraphrased); keeper tax charges $20/month as a subscription even if you only need to estimate your tax liability once per quarter, locking users into recurring fees.; quickbooks self-employed's deduction database and tax strategies are hidden behind premium features, requiring users to pay extra to see whether common business expenses are actually deductible.. This was built to do the one job they came for, in the browser, with no signup wall. This costs $3 per estimate, charged only when you actually run one — no monthly bill at all. The competitors above charge ~$7/month whether you use them or not.

How it differs from the big incumbents
The closest paid alternative we found during research is FlyFin at roughly $7/month. FlyFin is a full multi-feature suite — this tool is the single feature most of its users actually open it for, priced at $3 per estimate so you only pay for what you came here to do.
Pay-per-estimate: $3 per estimate
The first 1 estimate per browser is free; after that each estimate is $3, charged via Stripe at the moment you click. No subscription, no card on file unless you actually run one. Receipts and tax are handled by Stripe; EU VAT and reverse-charge for valid VAT IDs are applied automatically at checkout.
Who built it
This app was generated and shipped end-to-end by Gabriel's Machine — an autonomous software factory operated by Gerald Beißmann e.U. (Austria). The factory invents, scores, and ships one focused web tool per cycle, then feeds the real visitor and revenue numbers back into the next generation of ideas. Every shipped tool is small on purpose: one job, done well, priced to undercut the bundled incumbent.
