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.

Anaplan Excels at Connected Planning with Real-Time, Scalable Collaboration
Reviewed on Nov 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is one of the best tools for connected planning. It helps eliminate many of the issues organizations face in their day-to-day planning and budgeting activities. Organizations can work in a highly connected way by using Anaplan, which brings teams and processes together.
It offers a range of capabilities, such as real-time calculations and scenario mapping, flexibility with low-code development (without heavy IT dependency), scalability for large datasets, collaboration and governance, and cloud-based accessibility so everyone works on the same instance of the model. It also provides user-friendly dashboards and integration capabilities. These factors are what make it stand out compared with other contemporary tools in the market.
These are the factor which pushes me to use anaplan whenever a connected planning requirement is presented Infront of me.

These are the factor which pushes me to use anaplan whenever a connected planning requirement is presented Infront of me.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Anaplan is good for connected planning, there are still some areas that could be improved, as noted below.
In my experience, Anaplan is best suited for models with relatively low calculation complexity, because it cannot handle complex calculations (such as iterative or circular logic) when working with huge and sparse datasets. It also doesn’t offer the full range of formulas available in Excel or some other BI tools. For ad hoc analysis, users still tend to prefer Excel over Anaplan.
Due to scalability limitations, sometimes teams have to split their model vertically or horizontally to achieve more optimized performance. Finally, it doesn’t provide BI reporting capabilities at the level that today’s market demands.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my previous role, our team ran a 15-day planning and budgeting process that depended heavily on Excel templates. Every day, someone had to maintain those templates, update formulas, and rebuild the planning and budgeting report, which took about 3 hours a day. That added up to roughly 45 hours of manual effort per planning cycle, and it delayed the information users needed to make decisions.
To solve this, I used Anaplan to move the entire process into a single model. I built the calculation logic directly into the model, so formulas no longer had to be updated manually, and I set up the reporting so it refreshed automatically as data changed.
As a result, users could see the report immediately instead of waiting for the daily manual update. We removed around 8 hours of daily effort, about 120 hours per cycle, and reduced the risk of formula errors and version issues. The team could spend that time analyzing the numbers instead of preparing them.

Powerful Platform for Connected Workforce Planning
Reviewed on Nov 03, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve worked extensively with Anaplan across Recruiting, Budgeting, Organization Design, and Compensation, using it to support everything from open-role management and workforce planning to organizational analysis and compensation processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, when we raise a support request, it feels like they follow a process where someone with the least knowledge gets assigned to us first. They mostly just read from a script, and it takes several back-and-forth passes before we’re finally able to connect with an expert.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’ve used Anaplan to solve several workforce planning challenges across Recruiting, Budgeting, Organization Design, and Compensation. A common problem across these areas is bringing together large amounts of workforce data, complex business rules, and processes that would otherwise require multiple spreadsheets, manual reconciliations, and handoffs between teams.
