Ekam vs Value Research
Value Research is a independent fund & stock research. Ekam is the household ledger — every account and asset class in one honest number, built from statements you already have. Here's how they actually differ — and where Value Research is the better tool.
A broker-agnostic personal-wealth aggregator built on statements you already have — no broker login — folding equity, mutual funds, US stocks, EPF, FDs, bonds and cash into a single net worth, with advisor-grade analytics on top and nothing to sell you.
India's best-known independent mutual-fund and stock research house — star ratings, screeners and model portfolios — with free tools and paid advisory tiers.
Value Research tells you which funds to trust; Ekam shows you what holding them does to your overall wealth.
Where Ekam fits better
- Live, auto-synced holdings and a real net worth instead of a manually-maintained portfolio.
- Quantitative portfolio risk analytics rather than editorial ratings.
- Covers equity, US stocks, EPF, FDs and cash, not just funds and stocks.
- Offline-resilient and self-hostable.
Where Value Research is stronger
- The most trusted independent fund research and ratings in India.
- Decades of historical data, analyst reviews and model portfolios.
- Editorial depth and fund-manager interviews Ekam doesn't produce.

Two plans, no add-ons, and no trial — Individual is free forever, not a runway: one net worth across every Indian asset class for one person, with unlimited accounts, imports, holdings, XIRR, end-of-day prices, in-app alerts and the whole Indian tax year (realised gains, the estimate and harvesting room), plus 12 months of rolling history and 2 open goals. Family (₹3,999 a year + GST) covers six people under one roll-up with a per-member view, and folds in the Wealth Lab — stress test, liquidity ladder, tax drag, real return, fund-rating changes — plus foreign assets and accounts, the tax year per member, the Sunday email digest, and unlimited history and goals; people beyond six are ₹399 + GST each a year (introductory, ₹499 later) on the same invoice, up to 12. Prices exclude GST. Billing is not open yet: accounts opened before it starts keep a founding price of ₹2,499 + GST a year for as long as they stay subscribed. Schedule FA/Form 67, PDF reports, an estate register and a CA share link are described as on the way, not sold. A Wealth Advisor tier (₹9,999/yr reference price) for CAs, RIAs and family offices managing several clients' books is on the roadmap, not yet built or sold.
Fund Advisor ₹1,495/quarter or ₹4,999/yr (GST incl.). Stock Advisor list ~₹12,000/yr with promos. Manual portfolio, not broker-linked.
Sources & methodology
Capabilities were compiled from Value Research's own pages and reputable reviews (checked June 2026). Indian fintech features and pricing change frequently and are often promo-driven; treat figures as point-in-time. "Partial" marks a real but narrower capability or one we could not fully verify — hover any dotted mark above for the specific caveat.
