| What you need | Jirav | Pineapple Analyst |
|---|---|---|
| Time to get a client live | About 2 months on average, per G2 reviewers. Every client runs through a 15-step setup, and Auto-Forecast needs two full years of actuals before it works. | Under 5 minutes per client to connect data and publish a dashboard. |
| Training before my team is productive | 4 core software classes plus an 8-module go-to-market curriculum, each module about an hour with homework, plus weekly office hours. A steep learning curve is the top complaint in reviews. | None required. Run it yourself, have us build it for you, or get personalized training if you want it. |
| Dashboards I can build | Dashboards, a KPI library and templates built in Jirav's report builder. Reviewers cite limited visualization types and slow report loads. No prompt-built reports. | Anything you can describe: scenarios, forecasts with manual inputs, new pages, and views that combine sources. Save it as a template and roll it out to every client. Answers draw on a custom knowledge base for your firm and each client. |
| My whole book in one view | Each client is set up as its own company account in the Partner Portal. We found no firm-wide comparison view in Jirav's pricing or help pages. | Every client in one place. Compare across the industries you serve, see averages, rank clients, or compare anything else you want. Prompt it, or have us build it. |
| What my clients see | White labeling with your firm logo. Unlimited read-only client users, plus up to 15 client admin or editor users. | Your brand on every plan, no setup fee. Each client logs into their own dashboards, plus the AI analyst if you turn it on. Unlimited read-only client users. |
| Clients asking their own questions | No AI assistant or client-facing AI described. Clients view, comment on and share published dashboards and reports. | Clients ask anything in plain English, follow up on the answer, and get responses drawn from every source connected. The firm turns the AI analyst on or off for each client. |
| Data I can connect | QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, NetSuite and Sage Intacct; payroll from Gusto, ADP RUN, Paychex, Paylocity and others; Excel and Google Sheets. No native CRM. | QuickBooks Online, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Excel and CSV today. Any custom integration, financial or not, built on request and can be included in firm onboarding. The list keeps growing. |
| Forecasting and scenarios | Its core strength: driver-based models, workforce planning, AI auto-forecasts, up to 5 scenarios and 7-year forecasts on CFO Enterprise. | Any scenario you can describe, plus forecasts and budget vs actual built from a prompt, shaped to each client, with assumptions and manual inputs you add. |
| Support and commitment | Partner Success Manager; support by ticket or email. Demo-led, no free trial advertised, and contract terms aren't published. | An AI support agent for quick answers, plus direct access to the people who build the product. Free trial, no credit card. Month to month. |
| How I'm billed | Plans start at $50/mo (Controller Essentials) and $150/mo (CFO Enterprise). The billing unit isn't stated, and partner wholesale rates are quote-only. | Per client company per month, tiered by book size, with prices you can see before a call. Unlimited firm users and read-only client users. About $43 per client at a 100-client book. |
The 2-month figure is the average implementation time reported by Jirav's G2 reviewers. The training curriculum is from Jirav's partner and services pages.
Deep FP&A modeling. Jirav is built for driver-based planning: staffing plans, bottoms-up revenue models, AR and AP forecasting, up to 5 scenarios and forecasts out to 7 years. If your engagement is a full financial model you maintain every month, Jirav was made for that.
More accounting and payroll systems. Jirav connects NetSuite, Sage Intacct and QuickBooks Desktop, plus eight payroll and HR systems including Gusto, ADP RUN and Paychex. We connect QuickBooks Online and build other connectors on request.
Structured enablement, if you want it. For firms that want to be taught how to package, price and sell FP&A, Jirav's partner program comes with a Partner Success Manager, CPE-eligible classes and a go-to-market curriculum.
When to pick Jirav over us: your service is deep FP&A modeling, with workforce plans, drivers and multi-year forecasts, or your clients run NetSuite, Sage Intacct or QuickBooks Desktop. In either case, book the Jirav demo. It's a strong tool for that job.
Ready in 5 minutes, not 2 months. Jirav's reviewers report about two months to implement. Its own onboarding guide runs 15 steps for every new client, its Auto-Forecast needs two years of history, and its training stacks four software classes on top of an eight-module curriculum with homework. A client goes live on Pineapple Analyst in under 5 minutes. You show value on the first call, not after a quarter of setup.
No FP&A degree required. Jirav works best when your team wants to become modeling experts, and a steep learning curve is its most common complaint. With us, the work is describing what you want to see. Prompt it yourself, or have us build it. When you're stuck, an AI support agent answers right away and real people are a message away.
Build once, roll out to every client. Jirav is set up one client company at a time. Save any prompt-built dashboard as a template and push it across your whole book, then see every client in one consolidated view: compare the industries you serve, see averages, rank clients, or compare anything else you want.
Reporting beyond the basics. Jirav's reviewers ask for more chart types and dashboard tiles, and mention slow report loads. Ours builds whatever view you describe, scenarios with your own manual inputs included, and answers draw on a custom knowledge base of your KPI definitions and each client's goals.
AI that does more than forecast. Jirav's AI generates forecasts from history. Ours builds dashboards from a prompt, and the optional AI analyst lets a client ask "why did margin drop in March?" and then "which customers drove it?" You switch it on or off per client.
The whole business, priced in the open. Jirav covers accounting and payroll, with no native CRM, and its partner pricing is quote-only. We connect HubSpot today and build any custom integration a firm needs, and our pricing is published.
About two months on average, according to Jirav's G2 reviewers. Its onboarding guide covers 15 setup steps per client, and Auto-Forecast needs two full years of actuals. A Pineapple Analyst client goes live in under 5 minutes.
Jirav partners take four core software classes and an eight-module go-to-market curriculum, each module about an hour with homework, plus weekly office hours. Pineapple Analyst requires no training: run it yourself, have us build it, or get personalized training if you want it.
Yes, for forecasting. Jirav's Intelligent Auto-Forecast builds forward-looking forecasts from historical actuals. No AI assistant or client-facing chat is described as of October 28, 2026. Pineapple Analyst builds dashboards from a prompt and offers an AI analyst clients can question.
Not natively as of October 28, 2026. Jirav connects accounting and payroll systems plus Excel and Google Sheets, and points to a third-party tool, Coefficient, for other business data. Pineapple Analyst connects HubSpot alongside QuickBooks Online and builds custom integrations for any other source.
Often, but check your quote. Jirav lists plans starting at $50/mo and $150/mo without stating the billing unit, and partner wholesale rates aren't public. Pineapple Analyst is about $43 per client at a 100-client book, with white label and unlimited users included.
Bring one real client. We'll connect the data and build the dashboard with you in one meeting, so you can compare that to a two-month rollout on your own numbers.
