Sustainability leads at multi-site companies often receive Jupiter Intelligence outputs through a consultancy or a group risk team rather than choosing the platform themselves. The figures are rigorous and run to 2100, and the next question is who at each site uses them, and when. For a lender, an investor or a model risk committee, staying with Jupiter is a sound choice. This guide compares seven alternatives for the companies that own and run the sites.
Which are the best alternatives to Jupiter Intelligence in 2026?
The seven main alternatives to Jupiter Intelligence in 2026 are SmartResilience, XDI Climate Risk Hub, S&P Global Climanomics, Moody's Climate on Demand, Risilience, Climate X and Mitiga Solutions EarthScan, and each one was chosen for a different reason.
# | Platform | Why we chose it |
|---|---|---|
1 | It connects a costed adaptation measure for each site with early warnings and runbooks for the teams on site | |
2 | It calculates a modelled damage cost for each physical asset, in engineering detail an auditor can test | |
3 | It expresses physical risk as a financial cost per asset under a published methodology | |
4 | It builds physical climate metrics on Moody's RMS catastrophe models, with an expected-cost and a bad-year view | |
5 | It assesses physical and transition risk in one model | |
6 | It shows asset-level loss metrics in the form lenders and investors work with | |
7 | It offers a free trial, so teams can test it on their own sites before buying |
A note on who wrote this. SmartResilience publishes this article and is one of the seven platforms compared. Every platform is assessed on the same five criteria and described in the same format, including a real limitation.

What is Jupiter Intelligence, and who is it built for?
Jupiter Intelligence is climate risk analytics software that projects how physical hazards such as flood, heat and wind affect a location or a portfolio between now and 2100, and its homepage describes the offer as "decision-grade risk intelligence for financial institutions". What matters if you are evaluating it:
Who it is for: Jupiter is built first for banks, lenders, asset managers and insurers, and it also serves real estate and infrastructure owners that need long-horizon analysis across many locations.
What teams use it for: Teams use Jupiter to screen a portfolio's exposure to physical hazards, prepare climate disclosures, assess how physical risk affects counterparties and test the return on adaptation investments.
What you get: ClimateScore Global gives you more than 22,000 metrics for any of 22.3 billion locations, under three scenarios in five-year steps to 2100, through a web application, an API or tailored analytics support. API stands for application programming interface.
Why it matters if you run sites: Your lender, insurer or consultancy may already use Jupiter data about your estate, so knowing what it measures helps your team answer their questions and decide whether you need a platform of your own.
What does Jupiter do well?
Jupiter does five things well, and each one makes a specific job easier for the team implementing it:
Getting a climate model through internal review: Jupiter's MRM Accelerator gives your risk function the validation documentation it needs to approve a climate model before the figures go into a disclosure or a capital decision. MRM stands for model risk management, the formal review many banks and large listed companies apply to every model they use.
Building a business case for adaptation: Your team can use the Adaptation Hub to calculate avoided losses and return on investment (ROI) across more than 10 adaptation strategies, a capability Jupiter added in July 2025 and extended with Arcadis through the PRICE framework in June 2026. That gives finance a return figure to weigh against the cost of each measure.
Answering detailed questions about any location: Your analysts can pull more than 22,000 metrics for a site anywhere in the world, so a question about a plant in another country does not need a separate study.
Showing that the data has been tested independently: Jupiter was one of only two of nine vendors that shared data for CarbonPlan's 2024 comparison of climate risk scores, which gives your team something concrete to point to when an auditor asks about data quality.
Reporting to several frameworks from one source: Jupiter states that Compliance Hub aligns with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the expectations of banking supervisors, including the UK Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the European Central Bank (ECB).
Key takeaway: If your main audience for climate risk data is a lender, an investor or a model risk committee, Jupiter is a strong choice and staying with it is a defensible decision.
Why do companies look for an alternative to Jupiter Intelligence?
Companies look for an alternative to Jupiter Intelligence for five reasons: its focus on financial institutions, the absence of real-time monitoring and alerting from its published material, the step from an adaptation figure to site operations, how much hazard detail is published and how pricing works. Each reason points to different options:
A focus on financial institutions: Jupiter's homepage leads with financial institutions, whose UK climate obligations come from the PRA under supervisory statement SS5/25 of December 2025, and products such as counterparty modelling and model validation reflect that buyer. Retailers, manufacturers and other operators that carry no PRA obligation often look at SmartResilience, XDI or Risilience, which start from the company that owns the assets.
Real-time monitoring and alerting: Jupiter's product pages do not describe real-time monitoring, weather alerting or site notifications, and its projections run in five-year steps. Teams that need site-level warnings also find public services limited, since the UK government's flood warning service cannot send warnings for surface water flooding. SmartResilience is the option in this comparison whose published material describes alerts sent to site teams.
Connecting an adaptation figure to site operations: Teams that want each adaptation measure linked to an alert, a named responder and a site runbook look for a platform that holds all three, a choice our comparison of consultancy reports and software platforms explores. SmartResilience links measures to alerts and runbooks, and XDI's Automated Resilience shows where adaptation would reduce the most risk.
Published hazard detail: Jupiter's current product pages do not list hazards by name, and its demo request page lists flood, wind, heat, cold, wildfire, drought and hail. Teams that need to document hazard coverage for a reviewer often look at S&P Global Climanomics or XDI, which publish more methodology detail.
How pricing works: Jupiter does not publish a pricing page and routes buyers to a demo. Mitiga Solutions offers a free EarthScan trial, while SmartResilience, like Jupiter, quotes per engagement.
How we compared the alternatives
We compared every platform on the same five criteria, chosen for a company that owns and runs its own sites, using only each vendor's published material as checked on 19 October 2026. The core criteria, and what each one means in practice:
Site-level output: The platform reports risk for each individual site the company runs, so a property team can see which store, plant or warehouse carries the most exposure rather than a single portfolio score.
Costed adaptation: The platform puts a cost and an expected return on adaptation measures at each site, so finance can compare a flood barrier at one site with raised equipment at another.
Alerts before an event: The platform sends a named person at the site an alert before a weather event arrives, so the site team has time to protect stock, staff and equipment.
Evidence an auditor or insurer can test: The assumptions are transparent and every figure has an audit trail, so the sustainability team can answer an assurer's questions and a broker can use the record at renewal, as our guide to what assurers ask for on physical climate risk sets out.
Disclosure outputs: The platform produces outputs for IFRS S2, the ISSB climate standard, for the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) and for CSRD, so one dataset supports the annual report.
The order of the list reflects fit for a company that runs its own sites. A bank or an insurer would weigh the same criteria differently, and Jupiter would rank higher on that list.
"The adaptation business case went to the board in March. By November, the twelve site managers it covered were still asking what they should do differently."

The best Jupiter Intelligence alternatives
The seven best Jupiter Intelligence alternatives for a company that runs its own sites follow, each in the same format.
1. SmartResilience
Best at: SmartResilience is best at helping companies act on climate risk at the sites they own and run, from a costed adaptation measure to a warning before the event.
SmartResilience is climate risk management software that links the cost of each adaptation measure at a site to an early warning and a site response.
What it does well:
Financial exposure per site: Finance and risk teams see average annual loss (AAL) and climate value at risk (CVaR) for every site, under RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5, for any year to 2100.
Cost of risk avoidance: Property teams see the cost of each physical adaptation measure against the loss it avoids, drawn from an engineering library of measures.
Early warning with runbooks: Facilities and operations teams receive tiered alerts by SMS, email and dashboard, each tied to a site-level runbook, and every alert and response is logged as an evidence trail for insurers.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: SmartResilience covers physical climate risk, and transition risk comes through a partner, so a group strategy team that needs both in one model is better served by Risilience. SmartResilience is also not built around bank-style model risk validation, where Jupiter's MRM Accelerator is the stronger fit.
Facts: SmartResilience quotes per engagement, assesses flood, heat, wind, water stress and wildfire at site level, monitors 10 extreme weather types and produces IFRS S2 aligned, UK SRS, CSRD and ASRS disclosure outputs.
Who it suits: SmartResilience suits multi-site companies that own or operate their sites and need one dataset behind the capital plan, the site response and the disclosure, as our comparison of software for multi-site UK estates sets out.
2. XDI Climate Risk Hub
Best at: XDI is best at calculating an engineering-level damage cost for each physical asset.
The XDI Climate Risk Hub quantifies the cost of extreme weather and climate change impacts to physical assets, and XDI is part of The Climate Risk Group.
What it does well:
Asset damage costing: Engineering and asset teams receive a modelled cost of climate impacts for each physical asset rather than a score.
Adaptation targeting: Analysts can use XDI's Automated Resilience to identify where adaptation would deliver the greatest reduction in risk.
Scenario choice: Risk teams can run SSP, RCP and NGFS scenarios, where SSP means Shared Socioeconomic Pathway, through the Hub, an API or a report.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: XDI's published material does not describe alerting or site notifications. Jupiter offers more metrics per location and a dedicated model validation product.
Facts: XDI does not publish rates, delivers through the Climate Risk Hub, an API and reports, and names CSRD, TCFD, the EU Taxonomy, ISSB and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules among the frameworks it supports.
Who it suits: XDI suits engineering, infrastructure and property teams whose damage figures will be challenged by an auditor or an in-house engineer.
3. S&P Global Climanomics
Best at: Climanomics is best at producing a loss figure per asset that rests on a published methodology.
S&P Global Climanomics expresses physical risk as a projected financial cost per asset, working bottom-up from asset type, location and value.
What it does well:
Financial impact per asset: Reporting teams see projected costs from changing hazard exposure as a percentage of each asset's value.
Named hazards: S&P's published material covers extreme heat and cold, wildfire, water stress, drought, coastal and fluvial flooding and tropical cyclones.
Long horizon: Analysts can review results across eight decades under four emissions scenarios.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: S&P's published material does not describe alerting, site notifications or a costed adaptation tool for a single site. Jupiter's Adaptation Hub and SmartResilience both put a return on adaptation measures.
Facts: S&P Global does not publish rates for Climanomics and routes buyers to a demo request, models financial impact per asset and designs its scenario outputs to support TCFD-aligned reporting.
Who it suits: Climanomics suits sustainability reporting teams preparing for external assurance who already work with S&P Global data.
4. Moody's Climate on Demand
Best at: Climate on Demand is best at delivering physical climate metrics built on Moody's RMS catastrophe models.
Moody's Climate on Demand combines global climate models with the probabilistic catastrophe-modelling framework Moody's RMS developed over three decades.
What it does well:
Two financial views: Finance teams receive Mean Financial Impact metrics for the expected cost and Tail Risk Financial Impact metrics for the bad-year cost.
Several levels of analysis: Analysts can work at real asset, company, facility or sovereign level through separate editions.
Scenario range: Risk teams can project to 2100 under RCP and NGFS scenarios.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: Moody's developer documentation does not describe alerting or costed adaptation measures, and it does not set out a hazard list. Delivery is API-led with file-based batch workflows, which suits a team with data engineering support.
Facts: Moody's does not publish rates for Climate on Demand, delivers it through an API in Standard and Pro editions and projects physical risk to 2100 under RCP and NGFS scenarios.
Who it suits: Climate on Demand suits risk and insurance teams whose brokers and underwriters already work with Moody's RMS models.
5. Risilience
Best at: Risilience is best at assessing physical and transition risk in one model.
Risilience assesses physical and transition risk through a single analytical lens on its Riise platform, and names Tesco, Nestlé and Barclays among its clients.
What it does well:
Two risk types, one model: Strategy teams avoid reconciling one vendor's physical output with another vendor's transition output.
Financial quantification: Finance teams can use the Financial Quantification module to express risk in money terms.
Planning modules: Sustainability teams can work through transition and mitigation planning in the same platform.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: Risilience does not set out its hazard list, output resolution or framework mapping on its site, and its published material does not describe alerting. Jupiter publishes far more detail on locations, metrics and scenarios.
Facts: Risilience does not publish rates, covers physical and transition risk on the Riise platform and does not name its hazards or disclosure frameworks on its site.
Who it suits: Risilience suits group strategy and sustainability functions at large consumer and industrial businesses that need both risk types in one model.
6. Climate X
Best at: Climate X is best at preparing a property-heavy company for lender and investor scrutiny.
Climate X translates physical climate risk into financial loss metrics at asset and portfolio level through its Spectra platform, and names banks, real estate investment trusts, insurers and asset managers as its buyers.
What it does well:
Asset and portfolio loss metrics: Property and finance teams see financial loss estimates for each asset and for the portfolio.
Adaptation costing: Asset teams can use Climate X Adapt to model the capital cost and return of adaptation measures.
Regulatory reach: Reporting teams get outputs mapped to IFRS S2, CSRD, the EU Taxonomy and PRA SS5/25, among other frameworks.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: Climate X serves much the same financial-sector buyer as Jupiter, and its published material does not describe alerting or site notifications. Our guide to Climate X alternatives covers these trade-offs in more detail.
Facts: Climate X does not publish rates, delivers Spectra, Adapt and Carta as separate products and names IFRS S2, CSRD with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the EU Taxonomy and PRA SS5/25 among its frameworks.
Who it suits: Climate X suits property-heavy companies under active lender or investor scrutiny that want to see their estate the way their financiers see it.
7. Mitiga Solutions EarthScan
Best at: EarthScan is best at letting teams test a platform on their own assets before committing budget.
Mitiga Solutions is a spin-out of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and its EarthScan platform was originally developed by Cervest before Mitiga acquired Cervest's assets.
What it does well:
Try before buying: Sustainability teams can run EarthScan Pro on their own sites at no cost before a procurement process starts.
Long baseline: Analysts see simulations from 1970 to 2100 built on CMIP6 and CORDEX climate model data, two widely used international climate model datasets.
Disclosure module: Reporting teams can use Mitiga's Disclose module, which Mitiga aligns with CSRD, IFRS S2, TCFD, the EU Taxonomy and California's SB 261.
Where Jupiter or other options still win: Mitiga's published material does not describe alerting or site notifications, and API access sits on paid enterprise plans only. Jupiter offers adaptation return modelling, which Mitiga's site does not describe.
Facts: Mitiga does not publish rates but offers a free trial, covers flood, wildfire, wind, heat, drought and precipitation, and aligns its Disclose module with CSRD, IFRS S2, TCFD, the EU Taxonomy and SB 261.
Who it suits: EarthScan suits sustainability teams with a limited first-year budget who need to show results internally before a larger procurement.
How to choose the best platform for your use case: five questions to ask
The right platform depends on who has to act on the data, and five questions sort most buyers:
Who is the main audience for your climate risk data? If it is a lender, an investor or a model risk committee, staying with Jupiter Intelligence is a defensible answer.
Will an auditor or an engineer test each loss figure in detail? XDI or S&P Global Climanomics gives your team more published methodology to stand on.
Do you need transition risk in the same model as physical risk? Risilience is built for that.
Do you need to prove value before a procurement process starts? Mitiga Solutions' free EarthScan trial lets your team test first.
Do your site teams need warnings before weather events, linked to the adaptation plan? SmartResilience is built for that job.
SmartResilience ranks first in this comparison because it is the one platform whose published material covers all five criteria, and alerts to site teams are the criterion no other platform here describes. For a company that owns and runs its own sites, that makes it the default choice. Our eight questions to ask before you buy help you get each vendor's answers in writing before you decide.
FAQs
How much does Jupiter Intelligence cost?
Jupiter Intelligence does not publish rates. Its site has no pricing page and routes buyers to a demo or a conversation with an expert, so cost depends on the products, the number of locations and the delivery route. Ask for pricing as sites are added or removed before you sign.
Does Jupiter Intelligence offer early warning or real-time alerts?
Jupiter Intelligence's product pages do not describe real-time monitoring, alerting or site notifications. Its products project physical risk forward, in five-year steps to 2100, to support portfolio, disclosure and adaptation decisions. Companies that need a warning before an event usually add an operational platform.
Which hazards does Jupiter Intelligence cover?
Jupiter's demo request page lists flood, wind, heat, cold, wildfire, drought and hail, and Jupiter added a subsidence metric in July 2025. Its current product pages describe coverage as multi-hazard without naming each peril, so ask for the full hazard list and resolution in writing.
Is Jupiter Intelligence suitable for companies that are not banks or insurers?
Jupiter Intelligence works with corporates as well as financial institutions, and names real estate and infrastructure among its sectors. Its homepage leads with financial institutions, and its model validation and counterparty products are built for that buyer. Operators who need site-level alerts usually pair it with an operational platform.
We received Jupiter data through our consultancy. Do we need our own platform?
Consultancy-delivered Jupiter data often works well for a one-off assessment or a disclosure. A platform of your own makes sense when the figures need to drive capital decisions and site responses year-round, or when the estate changes faster than the consultancy refresh cycle.
What happened to Cervest, First Street and Sust Global?
MSCI completed its acquisition of First Street on 3 August 2026, as our guide to MSCI alternatives covers. ISS STOXX announced its acquisition of Sust Global on 5 August 2025. Cervest's assets went to Mitiga Solutions, and EarthScan now runs under Mitiga.
Can SmartResilience be used alongside Jupiter Intelligence?
Yes, in the sense that the two answer different questions. A lender or a consultancy may run Jupiter analysis on your estate, while your own teams use SmartResilience to cost adaptation per site and respond to warnings. Check with both vendors before assuming any data exchange between them.
How SmartResilience helps you turn an adaptation ROI figure into action at every site
After a climate assessment, most sustainability leads hold a return figure for each adaptation measure, and the next step is deciding who acts on it at each site. We work with your team on that step, so the same data supports the capital plan, the site response and the disclosure:
A cost of risk avoidance for every site: Your finance and property teams see which measure on which site avoids the most loss for the money, so the capital request carries a ranked list rather than a recommendation.
Early warning tied to each measure: Your facilities teams receive site-specific alerts with operational runbooks, an average of more than 12 hours before an event, monitored 24/7 across 10 extreme weather types.
An evidence trail for insurers and auditors: Every alert and every response is logged, which gives your broker proof of proactive risk management at renewal.
Disclosure from the same dataset: Your reporting team draws IFRS S2 aligned, UK SRS and CSRD outputs from the figures behind the capital plan.
A live platform: Your team adds or retires sites as the estate changes, and the outputs update continuously rather than waiting for next year's report.
Sainsbury's runs early warning with us across 1,000+ sites. When Storm Franklin reached one of its stores on 21 February 2022, the site had 12 hours' warning, lost no property or stock and opened the next day, avoiding a £3m loss at a town where Storm Eva in 2015 had cost £3m and six weeks of interruption. Its Divisional Operations Manager described the platform as "a unique, real-time application for our property estate that communicates risk in a clear contextual format."
At a larger scale, a global fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturer rolled SmartResilience out to 53 countries in six weeks and has mitigated £70m of climate resilience risk over a 10-year horizon. Across all clients, SmartResilience runs on more than 3,500 sites in more than 50 countries. If your next decision is how to turn an approved adaptation case into a plan your site teams can run, that is where we start together.
