Portfolio Management and Retirement Planning Software | Alternatives to Empower

I used empower back when it was Personal Capital so some experience with the tool. Any other “full view” portfolio management softwares that you are using?
I’m considering the software that Root Financial makes available which checks the mark on retirement planning.
I also liked how Empower can look across all accounts to understand mix of underlying assets across funds and accounts. Plus, the fee analyzer and scenarios are pretty cool features.
Before setting up with them again, I wanted to hear from MTB on any other solutions you are using. Thanks

Piere is worth checking out. You can get full service for free for life if you sign up this year. In the future it changes to paid subscription.

I like Monarch Money. It's $100/year, but the most full-featured one that I've found.

I use Monarch and love it. But, it’s really limited on the portfolio management side. Great aggregation but not much else.

Over on Bogleheads, I know Pralana Gold is popular for retirement planning/modeling. It's not "slick" like something online as it's spreadsheet based and works best in Excel. I think it's possible to get it to work with something free like LibreOffice.
I wound up buying it at the end of last year as I was able to get Excel at a good discount. If things go as planned, early retirement for me is in striking distance and wanted to go ahead and start figuring out what that looks like. Tbh, I haven't spent much time using it as work has just been too busy.
The nice thing with Pralana since it's spreadsheet based that once you buy it there is no other fees and can use that year's version for as long as you want.
Though I just looked at their forum, apparently they are moving to an online model this year and will no longer offer new versions of the spreadsheets after this year but will still support the existing ones.
Their is also a Bronze version which is completely free if you want to give a test drive.

Thanks, will look at this one.
Right Capital via Root Financial for $299 one time
NewRetirement is another one with decent reviews.

Does Monarch let you see your total exposure to individual stocks based on your portfolio of ETFs and mutual funds? That’s the only thing Empower doesn’t do that I think would be cool.

Monarch does not have robust portfolio management. It gives general trends of how investments are performing versus SP500 but that’s about it.
