Where the difference shows up

What matters most in the workflow and buying decision.

Security certification

CASA Tier 3 certification means independent manual penetration testing across all 14 OWASP ASVS categories. Ezymigrate has no published security certification, which matters when you hold passports, health records, and financial documents.

Easier to evaluate

Matter gives practices a direct browser-first path from the website, so teams can inspect the product quickly instead of starting with software shaped around another primary market.

Built for Australia

Matter focuses on Australian migration law, MARA compliance, and Department of Home Affairs processes. Ezymigrate expanded across countries, but it was designed around New Zealand’s regulatory framework first.

Automation across the practice

Matter runs on Neudash, so reminders, deadline alerts, and client status updates can be automated across the file. Ezymigrate offers useful AI cover letters, but that is still a narrower workflow story.

Clearer client portal experience

Matter keeps the portal in plain language so clients can upload documents, read updates, and complete requests without repeated staff coaching.

Decision guide

Choose the product that matches the job.

Stay with Ezymigrate if the broader footprint matters more

Stay with Ezymigrate if you need Xero integration immediately, rely on a wider cross-country feature footprint, or already run comfortably inside its operating model.

Choose Matter if you want Australia-first workflow

Choose Matter if you want software built around Australian migration work, a cleaner branded client experience, and less admin around document chasing, reminders, and status updates.

More detail

Who each product was built for

Ezymigrate launched in Auckland in 2011. It was New Zealand's first client management software for licensed immigration advisers, purpose-built for the NZ regulatory environment.

Since then, Ezymigrate has expanded to cover Australia, Canada, and several other countries. New Zealand remains its primary market, and the product still reflects that heritage.
