What’s the Best Financial Planning Software According to Advisors and Why?

10 May 2022

What the best financial planning software is turns out to be THE question once you decide to use a financial planning software. As with any purchasing decision, there are many considerations to take into account. Who is the best depends on a lot of factors, including your own practice and way of working, which survey you read, and which advisors you ask. We could talk until we are blue in the face about why we love our features, but it may mean more to you coming from someone else. Here are some words straight out of the mouths (or, rather, the keyboards!) of financial advisors as to why THEY think we are the best.

Advisors’ clients love RightCapital

What makes us even happier than our advisors sharing how much they enjoy RightCapital is when they share how much their clients enjoy our software and our outputs. We’ve created visual representations that are easy to explain and therefore easy for clients to understand. Our client portal and mobile app help clients stay involved in their finances which helps them to build trust with their advisors.

RightCapital listens to advisors

As a relatively new disruptor to the financial planning software scene with a smaller team who takes an immense amount of pride in what we do, we take feedback seriously. Our support team keeps the product team updated as to what comments and requests they receive from current clients and when developing new features, we look to the industry and try to learn as much as we can about what advisors are looking for.

Speaking of new features, did you know we come out with weekly enhancements and updates? If you’re interested in learning more about recent advancements, we rounded up our favorite updates from 2021 and from Q1 this year.

RightCapital’s Snapshot changes the game

One of our most raved about new features is Snapshot, a totally customizable plan summary for clients. Advisors have been vocal about their enthusiasm, gushing in support chats “The new Snapshot feature is excellent and I love it”, “I love the ability to add the text box and move it around the Snapshot”, and “I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Snapshot”. We were pumped to roll this out and have been getting a kick out of the positive feedback, both from current subscribers and those who wish their own financial planning software could produce something of the same quality.

RightCapital’s support team is top-notch

Our support team receives high marks day in and day out on our survey platforms after onboarding sessions, phone calls, and in-platform chats, but it’s so nice to see the praise on Twitter, too! Outside of social media, we were also excited to lead the rankings in support within the 2021 Kitces Report on various financial planning software companies released earlier this year.

RightCapital has the look

We all know that looks aren’t everything in real life, but they definitely make a difference when it comes to financial planning software and outputs that you can show your clients. We went through a significant rebrand in the fall of 2021 and we are proud of our design and how our charts and graphs help clients visualize their financial futures. 


Hopefully you found this advisor feedback helpful to help you determine if RightCapital is the right financial planning software for you. The next step would be to schedule a demo to see it all for yourself!
