Wrightsoft Right-Suite Universal and Amply Energy both appear on ACCA's approved software list for full residential Manual J. They sell different platforms and billing models. Wrightsoft publishes a yearly Windows residential package. Amply publishes monthly and yearly per-user cards for an iPad Pro LiDAR workflow. LoadCalcStack does not rank a winner.

> Verified fact: Wrightsoft RSU Residential Package page (retrieved 2026-09-27) lists Yearly subscription, USD $900 for the USA package. The same page lists Canada at $925/year and Combined USA & Canada at $1,125/year.

> Verified fact: Amply Energy pricing page (retrieved 2026-09-27) lists Monthly at $200/user/month (1 month minimum; cancel any time) and Yearly at $2,160/user/year (save 10%; equivalent $180/user/month). The FAQ repeats those options and lists optional paid 1:1 onboarding at $50 with co-founder Eric.

> Verified fact: Wrightsoft's residential package page describes a Windows-based Right-Suite Universal residential package with Right-J (ACCA) and Right-D (ACCA) among the listed modules. Amply's pricing FAQ markets room-by-room iPad Pro LiDAR scans that build Manual J as you go, requires an Apple iPad Pro with LiDAR, and points Manual D work to existing duct tools plus Amply room loads.

> Verified fact: ACCA's approved software page (retrieved 2026-09-27) lists Wrightsoft Right-J8 under full residential load calculation and Amply Energy under full residential load calculation with a LiDAR-capable devices note. Confirm the live ACCA list before relying on approval status.

> Editorial judgment: Choose Wrightsoft when you want a full Windows design and permitting package at the published $900/year USA floor. Choose Amply when you want an on-site iPad Pro LiDAR Manual J workflow at the published $200/user/month (or $2,160/user/year) card. This is a posted yearly Windows suite versus a posted iPad LiDAR subscription — not a cheaper-versus-premium ranking. Normalize for seats, hardware, modules, and training time before treating either number as "cheaper."

> Unverified: Hands-on accuracy, rebate/permit template acceptance by jurisdiction, Amply seat/contract terms beyond the public cards, and Wrightsoft mobile completeness versus the desktop RSU package were not independently verified.
