Compare/vs Benefits Consultants
Side-by-side
PerkIQ vs Benefits Consultants
Hiring an external consultant (firms like Mercer, WTW, Aon, or smaller UK specialists) for a one-off benefits audit and recommendations.
Consultants give you a bespoke, human-led report. PerkIQ gives you a structured diagnostic you can re-run every six months. For most UK SMEs of 10 to 500 employees the real difference is shape: a consultant is a project you commission and receive once, and PerkIQ is a subscription you can re-run the week something changes.
Feature-by-feature
Choose PerkIQ if
- You're 10-500 employees and want a quick, structured view
- You want to track improvements over time, not a one-off snapshot
- You can implement actions in-house once you know what's needed
- You don't have a budget line for a one-off consultancy project
Choose Benefits Consultants if
- You're 500+ employees with complex multi-country requirements
- You need bespoke modelling (e.g., redesigning a DC pension scheme)
- You want a human-led project with full implementation hand-holding
- You have budget for a standalone audit project
Pricing
PerkIQ
Free for the Snapshot. One paid plan from £85/mo (annual) covering the full diagnostic, action tracker, provider matching, surveys, analytics and team features. The price is set by your team size, not by which features you need.
Benefits Consultants
Quoted per engagement rather than published, and priced as a project. Re-running the exercise next year means commissioning it again.
Right tool for the job
PerkIQ isn't trying to replace the deep, bespoke work that a senior consultant does for an FTSE 250 redesign. But most UK SMEs just want a clear answer to 'is our benefits package working?', and PerkIQ gives that answer in minutes, at a published price, and lets you re-run it whenever you want.
