AppealSeal vs AppealMyTax
AppealSeal charges $100 flat for a California-only packet you file yourself. We do the same thing for $49 across seven states, and show you your overpayment and comps free first.
Them
AppealSeal
Flat $100 one-time packet, California only, you file it yourself (Prop 8 decline-in-value)
$100 flat
AppealSeal and AppealMyTax run the same kind of model, a flat-fee evidence packet you file yourself, with no cut of your savings. The two real differences are price and where each one works. AppealSeal is $100 flat and serves California only, built around the Prop 8 BOE-305-AH decline-in-value appeal (appealseal.com, retrieved July 2026). AppealMyTax is $49 flat, about half the price, for the states we carry real parcel data in, and you see your exact overpayment and your real comps free in 30 seconds before you pay.
Coverage
California only, Prop 8 decline-in-value (AppealSeal, retrieved July 2026). 7 states with real parcel data (Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas), about 22.7M properties (us).

Multi-year math
Same you-keep-100% model, half the price, and far wider reach. AppealSeal is $100 and works only in California; we are $49 across seven states of real parcel data. If your home is in one of our states, you pay half as much for the same do-it-yourself packet and see your exact overpayment and real comps free before spending a dollar.
AppealSeal: pros & cons
Strengths
- ✓ Flat, honest pricing ($100 per packet), no contingency and no cut of your savings, the same philosophy as us
- ✓ Purpose-built for California Prop 8 decline-in-value appeals, a state we do not cover
- ✓ Generates an assessor-ready comparable-sales packet you file yourself and keep 100% of the savings
- ✓ Free market-analysis check before you buy
Limitations
- ✗ California only, so it cannot help a Texas, Florida, or other out-of-state homeowner at all
- ✗ $100 flat is about double our $49 for the same do-it-yourself packet
- ✗ New and small (launched April 2026), with a limited track record versus established filers
- ✗ Single-state focus means no coverage in any of the seven states where we carry real parcel data
Why AppealMyTax wins
- ★ Same flat-fee, file-it-yourself model at $49 instead of $100, about half the price, and you keep 100% of the savings either way
- ★ Real parcel data across 7 states with real parcel data, about 22.7M properties rather than a single state
- ★ See your exact overpayment and your actual comparable parcels free in 30 seconds, no signup, no email, before you pay
- ★ Every comp in our packet is a real, checkable parcel in your county's own appraisal roll, refunded in full if any comp is not verifiable
