Pricing
CustomVic.ai does not publish self-serve pricing; it sells an enterprise Autonomous Finance Platform under custom, quote-based contracts. Core AP automation features are bundled into a fixed monthly platform fee, with transaction-based (per-invoice) pricing layered on top in volume tiers that carry discounts as invoice volume grows. Third-party marketplace listings note Vic.ai has been shown with a free-trial or pilot option for teams testing automation before committing to a paid contract, and G2/SoftwareSuggest listings confirm no public entry-level price is disclosed. For context, manual invoice processing typically costs $10 to $15 per invoice, while Vic.ai customers report costs dropping to roughly $1 to $2 per invoice after implementation, which the company positions as the basis of its ROI case; exact quotes depend on invoice volume, ERP complexity, and number of entities. Prospective buyers must request a demo or quote directly from Vic.ai's sales team for current figures.
EnterpriseWorkday Adaptive Planning does not publish pricing; every deployment is custom-quoted through Workday sales. Third-party pricing intelligence sources report three commercial tiers (Standard, Professional, Enterprise), each priced per Planner user per year at roughly $300-$1,200, plus a separate annual platform fee of $30,000-$120,000 that scales with entity count. Three license types are counted separately: Planner (full create/modify rights, highest cost), Viewer (read-only self-service reporting, roughly 20% of the Planner unit price), and Office Connect (Excel-based access, its own license count). A simpler industry estimate for standalone deployments cites roughly $20-40 per employee/year, with implementation costs typically equaling 100-150% of the first-year subscription fee. Co-terming the Adaptive Planning renewal with an existing Workday HCM or Financials contract can unlock an 8-16% discount versus a standalone renewal. Contact Workday sales for a quote specific to your organization's entity count and module needs.

AI-powered enterprise planning that connects to any ERP, HCM, or CRM
Vic.ai Pros & Cons
Pros
- Very high invoice processing accuracy without templates or manual coding setup
- Deep native integrations with major ERPs including SAP, Oracle NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics
- Consolidates invoice processing, PO matching, approvals, payments, and expense management in one platform
- Continues learning from customer data, improving automation rates like no-touch processing over time
- Strong reported ROI, with customers citing large reductions in per-invoice processing cost and staff hours
Cons
- No public pricing; buyers must go through a sales-led demo and quote process
- Built for mid-market and enterprise AP volumes, which can be more platform than small businesses need
- Irregular invoice formats and complex vendor or contract setups can still require manual exception handling
- Implementation involves ERP integration work, so onboarding is not instant for complex environments
Workday Adaptive Planning Pros & Cons
Pros
- AI (Planning Agent) is natively embedded with no separate copilot or third-party tool to manage or migrate to
- Native MCP server lets teams work with governed planning data directly inside Claude or ChatGPT
- Proven ROI: Forrester documented 249% three-year ROI with payback under six months for a composite enterprise
- Extensive out-of-the-box integration framework (300+ systems) with no third-party connector tools required
- Backed by Workday's scale and 7,000+ enterprise customers, with strong analyst recognition (Gartner Magic Quadrant, TrustRadius Top Rated, G2)
Cons
- No published pricing; per-planner-user fees ($300-$1,200/year) plus a separate $30,000-$120,000/year platform fee make total cost opaque until a custom quote
- Implementation is a significant undertaking, averaging 4.5 months even for experienced deployment partners
- Three distinct paid user types (Planner, Viewer, Office Connect) complicate quoting and license management
- Advanced Planning Agent skills are being rolled out progressively through 2026, so full AI capability isn't uniformly available on day one
- Best value is realized when co-termed with an existing Workday HCM or Financials contract; standalone renewals lose an 8-16% bundling discount
