Anaplan's Hyperblock engine is excellent for connected planning — but statutory consolidation (intercompany elimination, NCI, currency translation) is a workaround, per-user pricing scales painfully, and your team leaves Excel for Anaplan's modeling UI. Konsolidat is built for the close, and keeps Excel.
IC elimination, NCI, and CTA aren't Anaplan's home turf — they become custom modules. Konsolidat handles them in a purpose-built engine.
Workspace and per-seat costs climb as you add users. Konsolidat is MIT — no per-user fees, ever.
Anaplan modeling lives in its own web UI. Konsolidat delivers results through =EPM() in the workbooks finance already uses.
An honest comparison for a 10–500 user enterprise group over a three-year horizon. Figures are typical ranges, not quotes.
| Capability / Cost factor | Konsolidat | Anaplan |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Year licensing | $0 (MIT) | $$ per-user, scales |
| Implementation | Low–moderate | Moderate–High |
| Time-to-value | Weeks–3 months | 6–12 months |
| Excel-native UX | ✓ =EPM() native | ✗ No |
| Statutory consolidation (IC / NCI / CTA) | ✓ Engine-driven | ⚠ Limited |
| ERP integration (SAP / Dynamics / ERPNext) | ✓ via OData | ⚠ Connector / ETL |
| Source code access | ✓ Full MIT | ✗ |
| Vendor lock-in | None | High |

Anaplan, like every commercial EPM, is a closed SaaS you rent — the model, the data, the roadmap, all on the vendor’s terms. Konsolidat gives you the whole application to run on your own infrastructure, inspect, fork, and own.
Konsolidat is an open-source EPM alternative to Anaplan: Excel-native consolidation, allocation, budgeting and variance on a ClickHouse + dbt backend, connected to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and ERPNext, with no license fee under MIT. It's a lower-cost, lower-lock-in option — not a feature-for-feature replacement in every niche.
Self-hosted Konsolidat has no license fee (MIT); your only cost is operating it. A managed option is available. Anaplan typically involves six- to seven-figure licensing plus implementation over three years.
Yes — multi-entity IFRS/GAAP consolidation with FX translation, CTA, intercompany elimination, NCI and ownership changes, validated by 26 automated tests on every run.
Yes. Results come through =EPM() worksheet functions in the spreadsheets finance already uses — no new modeling UI to learn.
