Pigment

Pigment is an AI-native, integrated business planning (xP&A/EPM) platform founded in Paris in 2019, built to replace spreadsheets and legacy planning tools like Anaplan with real-time, collaborative, multi-dimensional modeling powered by agentic AI. Rather than adding AI features onto a static planning tool, Pigment built agentic AI as a foundational layer: the Modeler Agent turns a natural-language description of what a user wants to build into a fully governed, documented planning model, while the Analyst Agent continuously scans live data to surface trends, anomalies, and decision-ready insights without a person manually digging through reports. A third capability, the Planner Agent, is in preview and will simulate scenarios and generate recommendations in real time.

The platform runs on Graphite, Pigment's patent-pending elastic modeling engine, which lets organizations add data, users, or scenarios without needing to pre-size the system or interrupt other teams' work, and unifies data across Finance, Sales, HR, and Supply Chain into one governed source of truth. Pigment connects to enterprise systems (SAP, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, HiBob, Databricks, BigQuery) and, notably, ships a native MCP Server that lets teams query live, governed planning data directly from Claude, ChatGPT, or Mistral rather than exporting data into a separate AI tool. Pigment has raised $145M in a Series D round (led by ICONIQ Growth) reaching a $1B valuation within five years of founding, and serves enterprise and mid-market customers including Figma, Carta, Siemens, Unilever, Danone, Supercell, Fivetran, ClickUp, and Anthropic itself, which uses Pigment for its own strategic planning.

Pigment does not publish self-serve pricing; every deployment goes through a custom enterprise sales and implementation process, with third-party pricing intelligence (Vendr) reporting entry-level list pricing around $995/month billed annually for smaller deployments and full enterprise contracts (100+ users, multiple departments) individually negotiated with tiered user pricing and dedicated professional services that can add 20-50% to first-year costs. Independent reviewers position Pigment as delivering faster time-to-value and a more modern UI than legacy tools like Anaplan at roughly 40-50% of the cost, making it best suited for mid-market and upper-mid-market organizations (roughly $50M-$10B in revenue) prioritizing implementation speed and adoption over extreme dimensional complexity, while very large enterprises with the most complex consolidation needs may still need to pair Pigment with a dedicated close/consolidation specialist tool.

Pigment does not publish self-serve pricing; every deployment is custom-quoted through an enterprise sales process ("Request a demo" is the only path to pricing on the official site). Third-party pricing intelligence platforms report entry-level list pricing around $995/month billed annually for smaller/mid-market deployments. Full enterprise contracts (100+ users, multiple departments, complex data models, advanced integrations) involve a platform fee plus tiered per-user pricing, negotiated individually based on data complexity and modules (Modeler Agent, Analyst Agent, MCP Server, industry-specific templated applications). Implementation typically requires separate professional services for data integration, model configuration, and training, which third-party benchmarks (Vendr) estimate at roughly 20-50% of first-year subscription value. Contracts commonly span multiple years with annual true-ups for user growth; multi-year commitments and prepayment can unlock meaningful discounts according to buyer-side benchmarking data.
