EezyCloud vs Rightworks: An Honest Comparison
Rightworks (formerly Right Networks) is the biggest name in QuickBooks hosting. They’ve been in the market the longest, host the most applications, and have deep partnerships with Intuit and tax software vendors. But being the biggest doesn’t always mean being the best fit for your business.
Here’s a straightforward comparison so you can decide which provider matches your needs.

Where Rightworks Wins
Application Catalog
Rightworks supports 3,000+ applications. If you need an obscure Windows application hosted alongside QuickBooks, Rightworks is more likely to have it pre-qualified and tested.
Tax Software Ecosystem
Rightworks has the deepest tax software hosting infrastructure. Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, UltraTax, CCH — all thoroughly supported with dedicated technical staff familiar with tax preparer workflows.
Market Tenure
Rightworks has been in business longer. If you value track record and brand recognition with your partners or clients, Rightworks is the established name.
Intuit Partnership
Rightworks is an Intuit Authorized Commercial Host with the deepest Intuit partnership. If Intuit certification matters to your business or clients, Rightworks carries that credential.
Where EezyCloud Wins
Dedicated vs. Shared Infrastructure
This is the biggest technical difference. EezyCloud provisions a dedicated Azure virtual machine for each customer. Rightworks runs multiple customers on shared infrastructure.
What this means in practice:
- Month-end close: Your performance stays consistent on EezyCloud. On Rightworks, every customer closing books simultaneously competes for the same resources.
- Large file operations: Rebuilding a 500MB company file doesn’t slow other users on EezyCloud. On shared infrastructure, it impacts everyone.
- Tax season: CPA firms on Rightworks share infrastructure during the busiest time of year. EezyCloud customers maintain their own dedicated resources year-round.
BYOL (Bring Your Own License)
EezyCloud fully supports BYOL. Rightworks requires you to license QuickBooks through them.
Cost impact example (5-user Enterprise):
- Own Enterprise licenses (BYOL): $0 additional/year
- Rightworks license requirement: $1,740-4,200/year on top of hosting
Over 3 years, BYOL saves $5,000-12,600 in license costs alone.

Pricing Transparency
EezyCloud: $58.30/user/month. That’s the price. No tiers, no plan confusion, no “contact us for pricing.”
➜ view EezyCloud pricing — no long-term contracts required
Rightworks offers multiple plans ($55-190/user/month) with different application access levels. The $55 plan is restrictive — most businesses end up on the $80-120 range, and tax firms on the $150-190 plans.
Integrated POS
EezyCloud offers EezyPOS — a native point of sale system that integrates directly with hosted QuickBooks. No other hosting provider offers this. If your business processes retail transactions, EezyCloud is the only single-vendor solution for hosting + POS.

Can I migrate from Rightworks to EezyCloud?
Yes. Export your QuickBooks company file from Rightworks and we’ll migrate it to your dedicated Azure environment. Most migrations complete in 24-72 hours.
Does EezyCloud support the same tax software as Rightworks?
EezyCloud hosts Drake, Lacerte, ProSeries, UltraTax, and other major tax software. Rightworks has a larger pre-qualified catalog, but we host all commonly used tax applications.
Is EezyCloud’s SOC2 certification equivalent to Rightworks?
Both are SOC2 Type II certified, which means both have independently audited security controls. The certification standard is the same.
Why is Rightworks more expensive if it’s shared infrastructure?
Rightworks’ pricing reflects their brand position, 3,000+ app catalog, Intuit partnership, and established market presence — not necessarily superior infrastructure.
