Best for
- Contractors who need a full residential design and permitting package on Windows
- Shops that want Manual J and Manual D in one Right-Suite Universal package
- Teams linking load data into energy / code tools listed by the vendor
Standout features
- Published $900/year USA residential package price
- Modules listed include Right-J (ACCA) and Right-D (ACCA)
- Third-party energy/code link claims (Energy Gauge, RESCheck, REM/Rate, and others)
Tradeoffs
- Windows desktop package; not a browser-first SaaS floor like Cool Calc's $50/user/mo
- Annual $900 is a larger up-front commitment than monthly web tools
- Learning curve and support experience vary by shop (third-party comments; not a field test)
Wrightsoft sells Right-Suite Universal residential packages. The USA residential product page publishes a yearly subscription price. We have not hands-on tested Wrightsoft.
