Which one fits your firm
Choose Spark AI if
- US accounting and tax firms already on Rightworks cloud hosting that want a secure AI assistant.
- Firms wanting AI research, document summarization, and drafting suited to accounting work.
- Practices that want AI inside a SOC-compliant hosted environment rather than a public chatbot.
Think twice about Spark AI if
- Firms not on Rightworks hosting. Spark AI is bundled with the Cloud Hosting plan, not sold alone.
- Solo practitioners wanting a cheap standalone AI tool. Spark AI comes with a hosting subscription.
- Firms outside the US, where Rightworks focuses its hosting and AI.
Choose TaxDome if
- Solo and small firms that want one platform for client portal, workflow, e-signatures, billing, and tax organizers.
- Tax-heavy practices that send pre-filing questionnaires and want clients to complete them inside a branded portal.
- Firms outside the US (UK, Australia, Canada, Europe) that need practice management without US-only platform limits.
Think twice about TaxDome if
- Practices that want to try before committing. TaxDome offers no free trial.
- Firms with no tax work in their service mix. The tax organizers are the main draw.
- Teams that want an email-as-spine workflow rather than a tax-organizer-led client portal.
