Latest observation
If you want retirement planning with multiple account types and client-friendly visuals, the “best” choice usually depends on whether you’re an advisor, a planner, or a DIY user. But for most professional use cases, these are the top options:
Best overall for comprehensive retirement planning
MoneyGuidePro
- Excellent for retirement planning

- Widely used by financial advisors
Best for visual appeal and client presentations
eMoney Advisor
- One of the best for interactive client visuals

Best for DIY / individual planning
Boldin (formerly NewRetirement)
- Good if you’re not a professional advisor

If you tell me whether you’re an advisor vs. individual, plus your budget and whether you need tax planning, Monte Carlo, or household-level reporting, I can narrow it to the best 1–2 choices.
