Pros
| Competitor | Pros of Rightworks |
|---|---|
| Ace Cloud Hosting | Rightworks does not replace QuickBooks; it hosts it, and it publishes what that costs: Cloud for QuickBooks Online starts at $30 per user per month, Cloud Hosting at $85 and Cloud Hosting Pro at $110. Ace lists its QuickBooks hosting tiers as “Get Quote” and charges separately for extras such as Microsoft Excel at $5.99 per user per month plus a $5 Microsoft connection fee. The $110 Pro tier includes Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint through Microsoft SPLA and the Transaction Pro importer. |
| Quick Cloud Hosting | At $30 per user per month, Rightworks’ Cloud for QuickBooks Online tier sits just under Quick Cloud Hosting’s $33 entry plan for one user, and it adds managed migration off QuickBooks Desktop plus granular QuickBooks Online backups powered by Rewind. The infrastructure claims are specific rather than vague: SOC 1, 2 and 3 compliance, Tier III and IV geo redundant data centres, 99.99% uptime and automated 90 day backups. Cloud for QuickBooks Online and Cloud Hosting both come with a month free to try. |
| Apps4Rent | Cloud Hosting at $85 per user per month opens a workspace with more than 300 vetted accounting and business applications, Spark AI and business performance reporting built in. Apps4Rent’s dedicated plans include one user and then charge $26 per user per month for each additional person, plus $8.50 per user per month for Excel. Rightworks is an Intuit Solution Provider with 24/7 support, and it supports Mac, PC, mobile and tablet access with multi monitor and remote printing. |
| Summit Hosting | Summit prices QuickBooks hosting at $70 per user per month and then requires its Secure Workspace at $25 per account per month, so there is a platform fee before the first seat. Rightworks charges per user with no separate account fee, and its $85 tier already includes the app library, Spark AI and the Connect reporting tools. User access controls and a subscription management console come with the plan rather than as a paid add on. |
| gotomyerp Cloud Hosting | gotomyerp sells a single fully managed plan that starts at $230 per month for one user and still finishes with a quote. Rightworks names four levels, $30, $55, $85 and $110 per user per month, so a firm can match the tier to whether it runs QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop or a wider app stack. More than half of the top 25 accounting firms use it, and support is staffed by people who work with these applications daily. |
Cons
| Competitor | Cons of Rightworks |
|---|---|
| Ace Cloud Hosting | Ace publishes an entry point of $34.99 per user per month for QuickBooks hosting and sells managed security (Cloud Protect from $110 per user per month) and private dedicated servers (from $150 per user per month) as clearly separate products. Rightworks’ cheapest desktop route, QuickBooks Hosting at $55 per user per month, is marked for new customers only, so existing accounts cannot drop into it. Anyone wanting a dedicated box rather than a shared workspace has a clearer menu at Ace. |
| Quick Cloud Hosting | Quick Cloud Hosting starts at $33 per month for a single user with free setup and sells dedicated servers from $60 up to $320 per month, which undercuts the $55 and $85 Rightworks desktop tiers. The $30 Rightworks plan only covers QuickBooks Online, so a firm still on QuickBooks Desktop cannot use the entry price. Buyers chasing the lowest monthly figure will usually find it elsewhere. |
| Apps4Rent | Apps4Rent’s session based QuickBooks hosting is $24 per user per month and its dedicated Bronze plan $34.95 per month, both well below the $85 Cloud Hosting rate, and it is also an Intuit authorised host. A business that only wants remote QuickBooks Desktop access ends up paying for Spark AI, Connect reporting and a 300 app library it may never open. The extras are what justify the price gap, so they need to be used. |
| Summit Hosting | Summit charges $70 per user per month plus one $25 per account workspace fee, so multi seat firms can land under the $85 Rightworks seat rate. Summit also leans towards heavier and more customised application stacks, while Rightworks standardises the workspace around its own OneSpace environment. Highly bespoke or unusual applications are the place where that standardisation shows. |
| gotomyerp Cloud Hosting | gotomyerp builds each customer a dedicated AWS environment with a replica in a second AWS region and a documented continuity plan, and it prices per environment from $230 per month. Rightworks’ recovery story is automated 90 day backups and Rewind for QuickBooks Online, which is thinner than a second region replica. Firms with strict recovery targets tend to want the dedicated architecture spelled out. |
Reviews
- G2 Review (Rating: 4.7/5): Many highlight Rightworks for its time-saving document management that centralizes important information and simplifies QuickBooks access, with some calling the setup process easy enough to streamline payroll completion. Several also value the platform’s reliability, quick responses, and proactive software updates. A smaller group reports frustrating integration problems, limited permission flexibility, and an outdated interface that restricts customization.
- bbb.org Review: One complaint explains that after Rightworks purchased Transaction Pro, the company disabled version 7.0 and pushed customers to buy Transaction Pro 8, even though a free upgrade had reportedly been available until “yesterday”; the issue ended only after 2.25 hours on the phone and escalation through BBB. Another customer says the company continued billing after service cancellation and refused to stop charges despite there being “no attached virtual computer,” leading to repeated emails and calls.
- Capterra Review (Rating: 3/5): The lone review gives Rightworks Cloud Premier a perfect 5.0 for ease of use but only 3.0 for features and 1.0 for customer service, ending with a 0/10 likelihood to recommend. The low customer service score heavily impacts the overall 3.0 rating.
