For finance teams outgrowing Anaplan

Anaplan Alternative: Anaplan vs Fintastic

Finance teams moving from Anaplan to Fintastic often cite scenarios that add weight to the model, comparisons that only work when versions were built the same way, and pricing that shifts with users, data, and engine choice. In Fintastic, saving a version costs nothing in speed, versions compare however they were built, and one subscription covers unlimited users and data.

How does Fintastic compare to Anaplan?

Outcome
Fintastic
Anaplan
Saving what-ifs and versions
✓No cost to saving one
Build as many plans, forecasts, and scenarios as you want, each with its own setup. Adding more never slows the model, and you can compare any of them side by side in one click.
〰Each version adds weight
A scenario changes the numbers but not the structure, and each one adds weight to the model as you go.
Comparing versions
✓One click, however they were built
Versions compare in a click, however many you have and however differently they were built.
〰Versions need to match
Comparing two versions requires them to have been built the same way, so a structural change means rebuilding.
Big, detailed models
✓Full detail, full speed
Model your business at the level of detail you actually need, from day one. Nothing to choose upfront, and no flattening your data or building workarounds to keep things fast.
✓Engine chosen upfront
Models across many dimensions, with the engine picked before you start. Classic or Polaris, and the more capable one costs extra.
Planning across the business
✓One connected plan
Every team's numbers, financial and operational, live in one plan and flow through every scenario. Each scenario can look completely different without slowing the model down.
✓Models plus app subscriptions
A deployment mixes bespoke models your team or a partner builds with Anaplan built apps, each carrying its own subscription.
Getting to one connected plan
✓No integration step
The numbers already talk to each other, in every version.
✓Connected through integration
Models and apps are connected through data integration before their numbers talk to each other.
AI across the plan
✓Sees your whole plan
The Fintastic AI Agent is built into the platform itself. Ask it anything across your full plan and it answers from your live numbers, while respecting who is allowed to see what.
〰Scoped to one model or app
AI is scoped to the model or app it sits in, so a cross functional question depends on what has been connected first.
Whole team working at once
✓No slowdowns
The whole team can work at once, even during close and budget season. Everyone sees changes instantly, and the system scales with you instead of bogging down.
〰Depends on concurrency and size
Speed varies with how many people are working at once and how large the plan has grown.
Getting it live
✓Value in weeks, not months
Most teams go live in 12-16 weeks, with their first reports live in 3-4 weeks.
✓4 to 12 months
4 to 12 months to value, plus standing up the internal team that keeps it running.
Who owns the build
✓You stay in control
We build it alongside your team, so you own and run it yourself. Support is included in your subscription, with no separate contract.
✓Certified builders or a partner
Bespoke models are built and maintained by certified builders or an implementation partner, which means an internal Center of Excellence or a long term partner relationship.
Pricing
✓All-inclusive
One subscription based on your company size. Unlimited users, unlimited data, and ongoing support, all included.
〰Varies with usage
The bill moves with users, model size, data volume, which engine you run, and how many app subscriptions you hold.
Range of outcomes
✓Risk ranges built in
Run thousands of what-ifs on any plan to see your best, worst, and most likely outcomes, so you can plan around real risk instead of a single guess.
〰Discrete point estimates
Scenarios are discrete point estimates. Varying drivers across a range and returning a distribution is not native.
