SteuerGo against TurboTax
TurboTax is a US product with expert tiers. SteuerGo is a German product that has served 3.6 million users according to its own home page, and covers German returns only.
The privacy policy lists US-based services such as Cloudflare and Google tools for web delivery and tracking.
Points against
SteuerGo files German returns only and shows no human adviser option on the pages we read. The pricing page returned a not-found error. The privacy policy lists Cloudflare Inc. and Google, Meta and Microsoft services with US destinations, so the stated German hosting does not cover every part of the site.
