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 a fraction of the cost. For most UK SMEs (10-500 employees), PerkIQ replaces 80% of what a consultant project delivers at roughly 5% of the price.
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 for a £15k+ 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 a £15k-£50k+ budget for the audit alone

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 for the 99% of UK SMEs that just want a clear answer to 'is our benefits package working?', PerkIQ delivers that answer in five minutes for a fraction of consultancy fees, and lets you re-run it whenever you want.
