Pricing

The Drake Tax software license must be purchased separately; the hosting fee does not include the annual software license fee.

  • The hosting fee is $104 per month, per user.

  • At this time, an annual payment option is not available. In order to make the service available as soon as possible, we have launched with the monthly payment option only.

  • If you cancel within 30 days, you will receive a refund of the amount paid, less a $50 cancellation fee.

  • There is no trial or demo of Rightworks available.

    Discounts are available for accounts with 10 or more users. Our on-boarding team will be able to provide you with more details.

  • The hosting fee includes 40GB of storage, per user, on the Rightworks Desktop. Overages are charged a fee of $1 per GB over the 40GB/user.

  • Each subscriber must maintain at least one active user subscription at all times.

Tip  If you use Drake Accounting, review Drake Accounting - Decreasing Storage & the Overwrite Forms Option for additional tips.

Account Suspended (Payment Failure)

If payment fails when attempting to use the credit card on file, the account will become "suspended." To correct this, you will need to:

  • Log in to the Drake Software Support website with your Drake Software credentials.

  • From the left menu, select Account > Manage Rightworks.

  • Click Edit Card to update your card information.

  • Account Suspended

  • You are returned to the Manage Rightworks page. Read the Terms and Conditions, check the boxes that you agree, then click Pay Now.
    Click Pay Now

Important   After your account is in the "Suspended" status for more than a month, it moves into "Shutdown" status. Once it has moved into "Shutdown," you no longer have access to Rightworks. If you are "Shutdown," you can repurchase Rightworks by paying your past-due amount, then selecting a new plan and completing onboarding.

Rightworks will only maintain your hosted data for 90 days after the account is moved to the "Shutdown" status.

Cancellations

To cancel your subscription,

  • From the Select an Action drop list, choose Cancel Subscription.
    Cancel

  • Verify the deactivation information displayed. Please note:

    • All seats will be deactivated.

    • The deactivation will occur on the last day of the current month.

    • You may continue to use the seats until the site is deactivated.

  • Select a cancellation reason, then click Submit Order.
    Select a reason

Caution  If you cancel your subscription, Rightworks will only maintain your data for a 90 day period starting on the first day of the month following the month of cancellation. Ensure that you have moved your data prior to submitting your cancellation. For example, if you decide to cancel on April 15, the 90-day retention period begins on May 1.
