Yes. A couple of years ago I built a tool with several (not all) *A and other FFPs for comparing earning and burning rates. However, it is a bit out of date now and does require some fairly detailed knowledge of how the programs work.

Unfortunately I came to the conclusion that because there is so much complexity, and the rules are always changing, it is pretty much a full time job to maintain such a tool. So I haven't taken it further.

Also status benefits are not equal across FFPs (other than the minimum published *A benefits) and thus need to be taken into account for any comparison.
