01Competitive Landscape

Narrative analysis

Areas of relative strength - Integrated suite: planning, portfolios, and platform operations are offered by a single vendor (with custody/trading partnerships). - Stated low headline fees: vendor materials advertise low headline model portfolio and platform fees. - Client communication: emphasis on visual outputs and exportable reports. Where competitors can be stronger - Voyant: broader adoption in many firms, a larger third-party training ecosystem, and clearer per-licence pricing documentation. - CashCalc: lower entry price for adviser licences and a wide calculator library. - Custody/platform layer (Seccl and others): if a firm wants maximum control and builds its own experience on APIs, a custody-focused provider may be more directly aligned than an integrated, opinionated end-user platform. Adoption trends / market proof - The vendor cites asset milestones and third-party rankings as proof points in communications. These items are meaningful signals for buyers but are frequently published in vendor materials and should be validated via independent reports and references.

	Timeline Planning	Voyant (UK)	FE CashCalc (UK)
Starting Price	Nominal trial followed by a monthly subscription in the low-hundreds GBP	Monthly subscription in the mid-hundreds GBP for initial adviser licence	Lower per-adviser licence pricing, positioned as cost-effective
Typical Use Case	Firms wanting visual stress-testing with an integrated path from planning to platform and portfolios	Firms needing established cashflow planning workflows and broad adoption	Firms needing cashflow and multiple calculators at lower per-seat cost
Key Strength	Historical scenario stress-testing and an integrated product path (planning→platform→portfolios)	Mature planning ecosystem; wide adoption; established training materials	Cost-effective; broad calculator suite alongside cashflow
Key Weakness	Limited public third-party review footprint; methodology debates; platform tie-in may be UK-specific	May require additional tools for full operations stack	May be less end-to-end vs integrated planning+platform+custody
