Where Fiscari is stronger
Checkpoint is a broad, international platform, and Thomson Reuters' UK marketing leads on cross-border research, Digita integration and ONESOURCE. If your research is UK tax for UK clients, the question is whether you need that breadth — or a tool built only on the UK sources you would cite to HMRC.
Built for UK tax, not adapted to it
Every source in the corpus is UK: legislation, HMRC manuals, VAT notices and tribunal decisions. Thomson Reuters' Checkpoint pages in the UK lead on Checkpoint World, its international research product covering 180+ jurisdictions.
Conversational, cited answers to UK questions
Ask in plain English and get the answer with the paragraph it rests on. Thomson Reuters' CoCounsel AI for Checkpoint has so far been announced for US tax.
A UK price you can find
Fiscari is published from £19.50 per user / month, with a free tier. Thomson Reuters' UK Checkpoint pages lead to a demo request, so the price comes after the conversation.
No suite to buy into
Sign up and put real client questions through it today. Checkpoint in the UK is positioned alongside Digita and ONESOURCE; Fiscari works on its own, with an API if you want it inside your own software.

What Fiscari cannot do
Three things worth knowing before you switch, including the cases where Thomson Reuters Checkpoint is the better buy.
-
We cannot help you outside the UK
If you advise on cross-border structures, or need foreign legislation and treaties, Checkpoint World does something we simply do not do. Buy it for that work.
-
We are not part of a compliance suite
Checkpoint sits alongside Digita and ONESOURCE. Fiscari is a research tool with an API, not part of your tax compliance software. If research inside that software is the point, weigh that honestly.
-
No proprietary commentary
We answer from public UK primary sources only. If your team relies on Thomson Reuters' editorial content, losing it is a genuine cost rather than a rounding error.
Worth a look if…
-
You use Checkpoint mostly for UK questions
Run twenty recent UK questions through both and compare what each returns, and what each refuses.
-
A solo or small practice
Start where the pricing is published and there is a free tier to test it on your own work.
-
Your work is genuinely international
Keep Checkpoint. We are UK-only and would rather tell you now than after you have paid.
Try it on your hardest question
Put a real client question in and check the citations yourself. Free to start, no sales call.
