| Crypto-heavy investor | Both work |
| Need CA review | Both offer CA-assisted plans |
| Want tax-loss-harvesting tools | Quicko |
| Salary filing through employer plan | ClearTax (employer partnerships) |
CA-assisted option
Both offer CA review and direct filing. Costs:
- Quicko CA-assisted: Rs 2,000 - 8,000+ depending on complexity.

For complex tax situations (audit, foreign income, business + investments), a direct CA engagement (not via platform) may still be best.
