Compare ROBS providers side by side
Use this local comparison to select 2 to 4 maintained ROBS provider records and inspect the same public fields side by side: source-check date, public pricing status, displayed setup and ongoing fees, source limits, provider source links, review links, and affiliate disclosure. The starting view (Guidant Financial, Benetrends Financial, FranFund) is a convenience default, not a recommendation.
A published price means the provider had a public page stating that fee when the record was checked. Quote-only, incomplete, or unavailable pricing means the public source did not support a complete comparable fee, so the table preserves the uncertainty and directs you to get current written terms.

How to read the comparison
The table is intentionally non-ranking. It helps you notice differences that affect provider due diligence: whether pricing is public or quote-only, whether a usable official source was available, what date the source was checked, and where to reopen the provider pages before relying on the record.
Source-check dates establish when the listed public source was last reviewed for this record. They do not prove that a provider will offer the same price today, include every needed service, accept your rollover source, handle your employee population, or support a later sale, shutdown, correction, audit, or plan termination.
Before hiring any provider, request the current written scope and fee schedule. Confirm setup tasks, recurring administration, employee eligibility work, Form 5500 support, valuation support, audit-response help, legal or tax access, pass-through fees, refund terms, cancellation terms, and any referral or affiliate economics.
