    Why advisors switch from FMG to Aspen.

    1. From "cookie-cutter" to a website that's actually yours

    The most common complaint about FMG is that advisor websites look too similar across firms, same templates, same structure, same feel. Aspen's AI website builder is chat-based with live preview and generates a unique site for your firm. Live in days, not the weeks-long template buildouts FMG advisors describe.

    2. From paying for AI as an upsell to AI as the product

    FMG gates AI-powered content to its Premium tier and uses it to customize existing templates. With Aspen, AI is the engine, generating original emails, social posts, guides, and more from your knowledge, included in every account.

    3. From basic campaign scheduling to real automation logic

    FMG users consistently flag the same gaps: missing conditional logic, weak multi-step triggers, and limited reporting. Aspen has a visual automation builder with branching, conditional routing, versioning, and run history, plus AI that builds entire playbooks from a simple prompt.

    4. From slow, expensive setup to live in days

    FMG charges setup fees and pulls you into a long design process that drags on for weeks or months, time you could be spending growing your firm. Aspen has no setup fees, and your Aspen agent builds and gets your site live in days, not months.
