Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: Connected Planning, billed in Units through a contract. A Unit bundles user seats, workspace, and access to the planning platform. Your price scales with the number of Units you commit to, which you size to your specific needs. There are no separate tiers or instance sizes to choose between. Instead, you configure the quantity of Units based on how many users and how much workspace your organization requires. Because it is a contract model, you commit to a set quantity for the agreed term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A Unit bundles user seats, workspace, and access to the planning platform. Workspace is the modeling space where your planning models and data live. You size the number of Units to match how many users and how much workspace your organization needs.
Product access covers the planning platform with AI-driven scenario planning, calculation engines, and data integration. You also get security and administration controls, role-based access, application lifecycle management across development and production, workflow approvals, and mobile access to plans and tasks.
Both factors shape the number of Units you commit to. A Unit combines user seats and workspace together, so cost scales with the total quantity of Units. You size that quantity to your specific needs. There are no separate charges metered independently for users versus workspace.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing of anaplan basically puts it out of reach for all but the largest companies. A SME-based pricing structure would greatly expand the potential market for Anaplan.
With the Classic product - performance can easily become an issue, especially with large data sets. Polaris supposedly fixes this issue, but at a significant extra cost.

Fast Real-Time Reporting and Scalable Multidimensional Modeling in Anaplan
Reviewed on Jun 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Anaplan is the Polaris engine. Its sparse data approach gives us more flexibility with dimensionality without constantly running into space constraints. Data Orchestrator has also reduced our reliance on third-party integration tools by acting as a built-in hub for push/pull data flows. Workflow has made approvals and task handoffs much smoother across teams, and the recent NUX updates have made dashboards noticeably more intuitive to use. I also see a lot of potential in the new Co-Modeler to speed up model building and project deployment through AI-assisted configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides are that the UX features aren’t very flexible compared to other reporting tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is solving problems across supply chain and financial planning. It is helpful for planning and scenario-based use cases. Previously, users used to maintain different Excel files and versions for their zone and product, and consolidation, reconciliation, and reporting were challenging tasks. Anaplan provides a single platform where they can plan and report, and the reconciliation can be calculated by the platform itself according to the design built for that application. It has various connection with third party platform which make it easier to load data and report them and use them for planning
