How is Fintastic different from Anaplan?

Fintastic uses one unified architecture that handles both dense and sparse data, while Anaplan requires choosing between two separate engines on different workspaces. Fintastic supports unlimited concurrent users with auto-scaling and lets finance, revenue, workforce, and operations plan in one model.

How long does it take to migrate from Anaplan to Fintastic?

Enterprise deployments typically take 4 to 6 months. Customer teams reach self-sufficient model building proficiency within 3 to 4 weeks. Most Fintastic customers spend 3 to 5 hours per week versus 20 to 25 hours on legacy platforms.

Does Fintastic require a Center of Excellence?

No. Fintastic is designed for your team to own the build. Analysts can build and maintain models themselves without a dedicated Center of Excellence or a systems integrator on retainer.

How is Fintastic priced compared to Anaplan?

Fintastic uses subscription pricing based on company size with unlimited users, data, and support included. Anaplan combines platform fees, tiered user licenses, per-application module costs, and workspace upcharges as you grow.

Can Fintastic and Anaplan run in parallel during migration?

Yes. Fintastic offers co-implementation that lets you run in parallel with your existing platform during transition. Your team retains full ownership of the build throughout.

What happens to my Anaplan models when I move to Fintastic?

Fintastic's implementation team co-builds the new models with your team using the unified architecture. There is no equivalent to Anaplan's Classic-to-Polaris workspace rebuild.

Outcome

Fintastic

Anaplan

Plan at full detail without slowing down

✓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.

✓Detailed modeling, set upfront

Models your business across many dimensions, but you pick one of two setups before you start (Classic or Polaris), and the more capable one costs extra. That early choice shapes your speed and makes changing course later hard.

Stays fast when the whole team is in

✓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.

✗Slows and locks users

Speed depends on which setup you chose and how big the plan gets. When many people work at once, some get locked out or slowed down, and loading new data can drag the whole team down.

Value in weeks, not months

✓Reporting in 3 to 4 weeks

Most enterprises are live in about 4 months, with reporting on real numbers running in the first 3 to 4 weeks. Your team spends only 3 to 5 hours a week getting there.

✗Value in 4 to 12 months

Delivers planning value, but projects usually run 4 to 12 months, plus extra time to build an internal team that can keep it running.

Finance, sales, and ops plan together

✓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.

✓Planning in separate apps

Teams can plan together, but each works in its own app (finance, workforce, supply chain), and those apps have to be connected before their numbers can talk to each other.

AI that works across all your data

✓Sees your whole plan

Smartastic 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.

✗AI inside single apps

It has AI, but its tools (PlanIQ, CoPlanner, Agent Studio) each work inside one app at a time, so they can't reason across your whole plan.

You own the platform, not your consultants

✓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.

✗Relies on consultants

Setup and ongoing changes usually rely on outside consultants to do the work.

Pricing you can predict

✓All-inclusive

One subscription based on your company size. Unlimited users, unlimited data, and ongoing support, all included.

✗Usage-based pricing

Your bill moves with several things at once: how many users you have, how much your plan grows, how much data you use, and whether you are on Polaris.

Run every scenario without slowing down

✓No scenario limits

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.

✓Scenarios with limits

Scenarios are supported, but a scenario can change the numbers and not the underlying setup. Every new one makes the model heavier, so you can hit limits, and a real change means rebuilding from scratch.

See the full 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.

✗Not available

What Happens When Your Planning Platform Finally Keeps Up.

Teams using Fintastic report faster cycles, fewer firefights, and more time spent on the decisions that actually matter.

In my finance career, it’s rare to see an interconnected platform of this scale support iterative scenario planning without sacrificing speed or reliability. Fintastic has been a meaningful addition for Priceline.

Before implementing Fintastic, business stakeholders couldn't easily create or maintain scenarios. Now there are multiple scenarios that are easily managed and compared, allowing us to plan ahead and make more data-driven decisions.
