What counts as a snapshot in FP Alpha's pricing?

The All-In-One plan includes 55 snapshots a year spread across the tax, estate, and insurance areas. Before you size a plan, ask the vendor exactly how snapshots are counted against your typical client work so the allotment matches your volume.

FP Alpha for independent advisors: AI planning depth past the tax return

Q: Is FP Alpha worth the premium over Holistiplan?

It depends on what you'll use. Holistiplan starts at $749/year and covers tax. FP Alpha's $1,995/year buys AI reading of estate documents and insurance policies on top of tax. If estate and insurance reviews are part of your service promise, the premium buys real work; if tax is most of what you'd run, start cheaper.

Q: Does FP Alpha replace an estate attorney or insurance specialist?

No. It reads documents and surfaces provisions and planning opportunities as a first pass. Drafting and legal judgment stay with the client's attorney, and every recommendation that reaches the client is yours to make and review.

In a sentence: FP Alpha's AI reads the documents clients hand you — tax returns, wills and trusts, insurance policies — and surfaces planning opportunities across all three areas, at $1,995/year for the All-In-One plan with 55 snapshots. It costs more than a tax-only tool, and it should: the fit is a firm that wants estate and insurance depth, not just tax.

The short version:

What it does: upload a tax return, trust, will, or insurance policy, and the AI extracts what matters and flags planning opportunities you can raise with the client.
The breadth: tax, estate, and insurance in one platform, which is the practical difference from tax-only tools like Holistiplan.
What it costs: All-In-One is $1,995/year with 55 snapshots across the three areas. Beyond that, modules are priced on credits, and enterprise plans are custom.
The honest math: Holistiplan's entry tier is $749/year. Pay FP Alpha's premium when you'll actually use the estate and insurance depth.
The compliance line: the AI surfaces opportunities from documents; every recommendation that reaches a client is yours.

What does FP Alpha do for an RIA?

Advanced planning usually stalls at the documents. Clients hand you long ones — trusts, policies, returns — and the analysis waits until someone has time to read them. FP Alpha's AI does the reading: it extracts the key data and provisions, then surfaces planning opportunities in each area for you to evaluate.

For an independent firm that can't keep an estate attorney and an insurance analyst on staff, that's the draw. You get a structured first pass across all three disciplines, and you decide which findings are worth a client conversation.

What does FP Alpha cost?

The All-In-One plan is $1,995/year and includes 55 snapshots across tax, estate, and insurance. Past that allotment, modules run on credit-based pricing, and enterprise plans are quoted custom. Ask the vendor exactly how snapshots are counted against your typical client work before you size a plan, and confirm current pricing while you're at it.

Against the field: Holistiplan starts at $749/year for tax only. FP Alpha's premium is buying the two extra disciplines, so the real question is whether your service model uses them.

How does FP Alpha sit with an RIA's compliance obligations?

Treat it as a research layer, not a recommendation engine. The AI reads documents and points at opportunities; you verify each finding against the source document and own any recommendation the client hears. Estate documents in particular still belong with the client's attorney for drafting and legal judgment.

Beyond that, the usual rules apply. Client documents are sensitive data, so include the vendor in your Regulation S-P privacy review. Client-facing outputs you send get archived under the books-and-records rules (Advisers Act Rule 204-2), and your compliance officer signs off before rollout. The checklist lives in our RIA compliance guide.

FP Alpha or Holistiplan: which fits your firm?

	FP Alpha	Holistiplan
Coverage	Tax, estate, and insurance	Tax
Entry price	$1,995/year (All-In-One, 55 snapshots)	$749/year (up to 30 households)
The fit	Firms selling advanced planning across all three areas	Firms leading with the tax conversation

Strong if…

Estate and insurance reviews are part of your service promise, not just tax planning.
Your clients bring real document stacks: trusts, multiple policies, business returns.
You want one subscription doing the advanced-planning first pass across all three areas.
$1,995/year pencils out against the planning fees and client retention it supports.

Maybe not if…

Tax is most of what you'd use; Holistiplan covers that from $749/year.
Your volume could blow past 55 snapshots and you haven't priced the credit-based modules with the vendor.
Your CRM and meeting-note basics aren't in place yet; sequence those before advanced planning.
You expect the AI to replace the estate attorney or insurance specialist; it's a first pass, not a signature.
