Overview
Sphere (Getsphere) provides a customs compliance platform for mid-market to enterprise logistics operations. It automates customs processes and trade compliance documentation.
Our verdict
Sphere is an AI-native indirect tax compliance platform (sales tax, VAT, GST) for global software businesses, with customs and import-duty features described as launching in late 2026. It is not yet a dedicated customs product.
Strengths
- Public, transparent starter pricing at 100 dollars per region per month with no implementation or one-off setup fees
- Public API with documented Stripe billing integrations and white-label options for platforms
- Backed by a 21M dollar Series A from a16z, with Y Combinator and Felicis participation
- Public status page reporting 100 percent uptime for app and APIs
Watch-outs
- Positioned as indirect tax compliance, not dedicated customs or global trade software; customs capability is roadmapped for late 2026
- No published security or compliance certifications (no SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA or PCI on any official trust page)
