Why founders switch

The Forecastr problem

A consultancy, not a platform

Every Forecastr plan includes a “dedicated financial analyst.” That means you’re paying for a person to build and maintain your models—not software that does it for you. You’re on their timeline, not yours.

Forecasting is all you get

Forecastr does financial modeling and that’s it. No bookkeeping, no bank connections, no cap table, no revenue recognition. You still need QuickBooks or Xero plus Carta plus spreadsheets for everything else.

30 days before you see value

Forecastr requires a 30-day onboarding process to build your initial model. That’s a month of paying $500–$1,000+ before you get your first forecast. Futureproof connects to your bank and shows you metrics in 30 minutes.

Your forecasting tool doesn’t do your books. Futureproof does.

Forecastr pulls data from QuickBooks Online or Xero—it doesn’t do your books. Your forecasts are only as good as the data in your accounting system. Futureproof eliminates the dependency: AI-powered bookkeeping feeds directly into your forecasting models. One platform, one source of truth, zero sync issues.

Futureproof: AI-powered bookkeeping with automatic categorization, bank reconciliation, and revenue recognition. Your books feed your forecasts in real time.

Forecastr: No bookkeeping. Requires QuickBooks Online or Xero. Your forecasts depend on data someone else enters into a separate system.

Your equity is as critical as your cash flow

Forecastr doesn’t manage cap tables. Need to model how a new round affects dilution alongside your revenue forecast? You’ll need Carta or Pulley on top of Forecastr on top of QuickBooks. Futureproof integrates cap table modeling directly with your financials—model dilution scenarios using your actual revenue data.

Track the metrics that actually drive decisions

Forecastr gives you projected metrics based on your financial model. But real-time operating metrics—burn multiple, LTV:CAC, gross margin by segment, actual MRR growth—require live data from your accounting system. Futureproof calculates all of these automatically from your live books, no analyst needed.

Futureproof: Automated SaaS KPIs calculated from live financial data. No spreadsheets. No exports. Real-time clarity.

Forecastr: Projected metrics from your financial model. Real-time actuals require a separate accounting tool. KPI dashboards only on Pro plan ($1,000+/mo).

Pricing

One platform, not a patchwork of tools

Futureproof: $1,000/month
All six AI agents — bookkeeping, AR, AP, FP&A, RevOps, investor relations — at $1,000/mo flat. No add-ons, no per-agent pricing.

Forecastr + Manual Tools: $2,500+/month all-in
Forecastr alone is $500–$1,000+/mo for analyst-built forecasting. To match Futureproof's coverage you'd add bookkeeping software + a bookkeeper ($550–$1,700/mo), Carta ($170/mo), and a SaaS metrics tool ($100+/mo) — $1,200–$2,500+/mo all-in.
