The comparisons, and one table.
Every cell below is a published, verifiable fact as of August 2026 — where a vendor does not publish something, the cell says so. Each linked comparison states plainly where the other tool is stronger.

The comparisons
Epoch SRA vs Full Monte: an honest comparison
Where Barbecana's MSP-native tool is stronger, where we are, and the one-afternoon test.
Epoch SRA vs Primavera Risk Analysis: an honest comparison
The enterprise incumbent vs a PM-operated Excel add-in — different bets on who does the work.
Epoch SRA vs Safran Risk: an honest comparison
A risk platform for organizations vs a sharp tool for the person who owns the date.
Epoch SRA vs @RISK: same math, different machine
Same Monte Carlo math — but @RISK has no schedule model, and the schedule is the hard part.
Epoch SRA vs Deltek Acumen Risk: an honest comparison
A governance suite for scheduling departments vs an afternoon tool for the PM in the chair.
RiskyProject vs Epoch SRA: an honest comparison
The closest price class: a standalone scheduler-plus-risk tool vs analysis on the plan you already have.
Do you need schedule risk analysis at all?
Sometimes single dates are enough. Three structural reasons they stop working, and a free test.
Epoch SRA costs €119/month, €990/year, or €1,300 perpetual + €350/year maintenance. Epoch SRA computes entirely locally; schedule data never leaves the machine.
The 7-day trial is full-featured and starts in the add-in: no signup, no card, no sales call.
