Frequently asked questions about Pigment
What is Pigment?
A business planning platform for larger organisations — financial and operational modelling, forecasting and scenario analysis in one system, replacing the web of linked spreadsheets that planning usually accumulates.
Who is it for?
Finance and strategy teams in mid-size to large companies where planning spans several departments. It is enterprise software: value depends on having enough complexity to justify implementation.
Is Pigment free?
No — it is listed as paid with a score of 4.5 on ToolFlect. Pricing is quoted rather than published, as is standard for enterprise planning platforms. Expect a contract rather than a self-serve subscription.
What are the limitations?
It models what you tell it, so any forecast follows from your assumptions rather than describing the future. Implementation is substantial, and deploying it into an organisation that does not plan will not create a planning process.
Use cases for Pigment
Replacing linked spreadsheet models
When planning depends on a chain of workbooks maintained by one person, consolidating removes both the fragility and the single point of failure.
Multi-department planning
Where headcount, marketing and revenue plans must reconcile, one platform lets each team work in its own area against shared assumptions.
Scenario analysis for decisions
Comparing options against one baseline is useful for board discussions — a structured way to compare assumptions, not a prediction.
Pricing
Pigment is recorded as paid with a score of 4.5 on ToolFlect. Pricing is quoted rather than published and usually includes implementation. Compare against the analyst time your existing spreadsheet models consume. Confirm terms with the vendor.
Alternatives to Pigment
- Anaplan — the established enterprise planning incumbent.
- Adaptive Insights — Workday’s planning product.
- Runway Financial — lighter and startup-oriented.
- A disciplined spreadsheet model — adequate for many smaller organisations.

Before you commit
Fix the planning process first
Decide who owns which assumptions and how often plans are revised. A platform over an undefined process produces the same disagreement, more expensively.
Budget for implementation
Enterprise deployments take months of configuration and training. Sizing only the subscription understates the real cost.
Be explicit that scenarios are not forecasts
Model output reflects your inputs. Anyone reading a scenario should understand it illustrates consequences of assumptions rather than predicting outcomes.
