Addepar brings the numbers. Landytech brings the depth.

Landytech’s team manages data migration and custodian re-mapping as part of onboarding. Because Sesame includes risk analytics, accounting outputs and self-serve reporting natively, firms switching from Addepar typically find they can retire adjacent tools they’d built up around it — a separate risk vendor, a GL, a reporting analyst — rather than needing to re-implement them alongside the new platform.

Yes. Sesame One supports the full range of assets typically held by a single family office, including public markets, private equity, real estate, hedge funds and direct investments. Where Addepar provides strong performance and benchmarking analytics, Sesame goes further with a full risk analytics suite — VaR, factor decomposition and stress testing via native MSCI BarraOne and RiskMetrics integrations — built directly into the platform.

No. Sesame’s report builder is drag-and-drop and designed for the investment or ops team to use directly — tailoring visuals, headers, benchmarks and metrics in minutes, with no technical build and no add-on module to purchase. Clients report cutting reporting time from around three days to three hours per month.

Sesame One replaces fragmented spreadsheets and point tools with a centralised data layer and automated reporting; clients typically save more than 80% of the time previously spent on reporting. Commercially, Sesame’s pricing is a base fee plus a per-family fee with all core features included — customised reporting, alerts and PMS access carry no additional charge. Addepar’s pricing is generally structured around assets under management, so cost tends to rise as the family office’s assets grow, with services and training quoted separately.

Sesame One onboarding is measured in weeks to months, not years — Landytech’s team manages custodian connections, entity mapping and report configuration directly with your team throughout. If timeline matters to your committee, it’s worth asking any vendor for a written implementation schedule with milestones before signing.

No — flexibility is the design principle, not a trade-off. Larger, more standardised platforms can be slower to adapt to a specific firm’s data model or reporting requirements. Sesame’s data model, analytics and reporting are built to be configured around each firm’s operating model from the outset, so the platform adapts to you rather than the other way round.

It can, particularly for family offices with principals or structures outside the US. Landytech is headquartered in London and operates under UK and EU GDPR, with each client’s data held in its own physically isolated database. Addepar is a US company, and client data is typically subject to US legal frameworks such as the Patriot Act, under which US authorities can compel disclosure without the client’s consent. Worth raising directly with any vendor as part of due diligence if data jurisdiction is a consideration for your family.

Every Landytech client is assigned a dedicated Client Success Manager — a named person who knows your structure and reporting cadence, rather than a ticketed support queue you log a request into and wait on. It matters most in the moments a platform alone can’t solve: an unusual entity structure, a report a principal wants reshaped by tomorrow, a new custodian relationship to onboard.

Sesame One includes aLi, an AI agent that acts as an analyst — querying data, processing private fund documents, and generating charts and insights in seconds from plain-English questions, with no manual builds required. aLi is natively integrated into Sesame’s data layer, so it draws on the same accounting-grade, risk-aware data as the rest of the platform.

Sesame One is built to institutional security standards, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certification. Each client’s data is stored in a fully physically isolated database, ensuring strict separation and enhanced protection, with granular user permissions and full audit trails.
