Compare/PracticeWings vs. Canopy
3 reasons firms switch from Canopy
Canopy has strong features. What it doesn't have is a predictable bill and a portal that holds up when your clients need it most.
Pricing you can actually predict
Canopy starts cheap then layers on add-ons: Smart Intake credits, e-signature modules, transcript tools, tax resolution. PracticeWings includes everything in your tier.
Portal that holds up during tax season
Canopy portal crashes during peak load are well-documented, including a 1,500-client firm that lost full days of work. PracticeWings is built for the pressure of tax season.
Easy to leave if you want to
Canopy's cancellation process is notoriously difficult, with firms reporting ignored requests and unexpected charges. We make it easy to leave because we earn your business every year.
