Orion Practice Management System vs. RightCapital

Entering billing time is a breeze. It is also easy to keep up with all billing through the Time Manager screen in conjunction with Fee Entry. It works great as a calendar, with the ability to designate entries as tasks, events and other topics. The calendar program synchs with Outlook, no need to enter deadlines in two separate programs. It is a breeze to run conflict checks and the Smart Timers Management option is very user friendly.

I think it is well suited for planners that are just starting out and have an appreciation for cash flow analysis for their clients. I think it is more bang for your buck in that regard. The cash flow analysis can be a helpful addition when discussing client finances because it's easy to say that goals will be reached, but it's better to describe, year by year, how a client's cash flow will look.

Again, as I mentioned before, RightCapital seems to be much more user-friendly for people starting out because of how intuitive the platform is. In addition, it beats on cost and flexibility, in my opinion. I think the cost per advisor with eMoney can be around $3600, and RightCapital is half that. Now there may be services that I will need as I grow that will compel me to switch, but I am not there yet and am unwilling to lose the features that RightCapital provides.
