Cons
No published pricing, and third-party estimates put annual cost in the tens of thousands of dollars
Excel-centric design means the tool inherits Excel's own version-control and file-size limitations at scale
Implementation and services fees can push total cost well past the base subscription
Growth and Enterprise tier pricing is not public, requiring a sales conversation
$30/month per user on Essentials adds up fast for larger finance teams
