CouponMate vs Taxhub

Browser extension that automagically searches for coupons

Coupon Identification & Collection Methodology:
In terms of backend end technology, we act as a meta crawler for codes using a variety of methodologies, from standard natural language processing to optical character recognition.

Every minute of the day, we’re actively crawling retailer’s sites, parsing their emails, SMS blasts, and social feeds while simultaneously monitoring other media outlets to source the latest and greatest codes.

Overall Site Support:
We detect code response, as in success or failure of a coupon specific to each site, on any type of site: static HTML, ajax-based or even mixed mode sites.

Overall, we monitor roughly 200,000 domains and variants for coupon codes currently. Roughly 80,000 of those have codes at the moment. Even if a site isn't supported for automatically applying a code, you're able to view coupons any time.

Automation / Coupon Validation:
We algorithmically validate coupons for sites enabled for full automation (aka Find Best Coupon functionality) daily. The moment we see a code applied that comes back “invalid”, “expired”, or a similar explicit failure — we remove it from our database. This allows for a sort of collective intelligence for all users to benefit from.

Platform to give CPA tax access to startups

Taxhub began out of the need to solve the two main problems in personal tax return industry. Consumers have two choices when it comes to getting their taxes done. They can either go to a traditional franchise tax prep firm and get charged an arm and a leg for something that take then less than an hour to do or they can attempt the cheaper option and go through the extremely frustrating task of going online and trying to do it themselves.
