OneStream alternative · mid-market EPM

A OneStream alternative
that keeps Excel — and the source code.

Konsolidat is a OneStream alternative for mid-market finance: engine-driven statutory consolidation (intercompany elimination, NCI, CTA), allocations and budgeting, delivered through =EPM() in the workbooks you already use. MIT licensed — $0 self-host license, hosted from $3,500/month, 4-week pilot from $25,000. Not a Marketplace clone; a lower-cost, lower-lock-in close engine.

Who this is for

A OneStream alternative —
not a OneStream impersonator.

Buyer guides usually name Board, Cube, Planful and Redwood as OneStream alternatives. Konsolidat belongs in that set when statutory consolidation and Excel fluency matter more than a packaged CPM operating system.

Choose Konsolidat when

  • You need IFRS/GAAP group close (IC, NCI, CTA), not only FP&A planning
  • Finance must stay in Excel — =EPM(), not a new modelling UI
  • You are roughly 10–500 finance users and cannot swallow a 12–24 month SI programme
  • You will self-host (data residency) or take a 4-week paid pilot
  • Your GL is Dynamics 365 F&O, ERPNext, or SAP S/4HANA via pilot

Stay on OneStream when

  • You depend on the OneStream Marketplace / XF solutions catalogue
  • You want a single vendor OS for close, planning, account recs and tax in one SI programme
  • You need hundreds of packaged solutions and a global partner bench
  • A seven-figure license and 12–24 month rollout is already funded and politically locked

Why teams look

Why finance teams look for a
OneStream alternative.

01

Seven-figure TCO before the first clean close

License plus SI fees commonly run $2M–$5.5M over three years on the public bands we use on the homepage TCO table. Konsolidat’s license line is $0; you pay infra, a fraction of an FTE, or a hosted subscription.

02

12–24 month implementations

Enterprise CPM rollouts are programmes. Konsolidat is designed to reach a working consolidation in weeks to three months — or a fixed-scope 4-week pilot.

03

You export to Excel anyway

The logic lives in OneStream; the analysis ends up in Excel. Konsolidat makes Excel the native interface via =EPM() formulas and keeps the engine open (ClickHouse + dbt).

The unfair advantage

The one EPM you
actually own.

OneStream, like Board, Cube and Planful, is a closed platform you rent. Konsolidat is open-source EPM you can inspect, fork, and self-host.

FAQ

OneStream alternative —
common questions.

What is a good OneStream alternative?

It depends on the job. If you need the Marketplace and a full CPM OS, stay on OneStream or look at Board/Planful. If you need statutory consolidation, Excel fluency and mid-market cost, Konsolidat is built for that: IFRS/GAAP close on ClickHouse + dbt, =EPM() in Excel, MIT self-host or hosted from $3,500/month. Cube is the usual spreadsheet-native FP&A pick; it is not a statutory consolidation engine.

Is Konsolidat a OneStream alternative?

Yes — for mid-market-to-enterprise finance teams that want engine-driven consolidation and to stay in Excel. It is not a feature-for-feature replacement of XF, Marketplace solutions, or a global SI programme.

How does Konsolidat compare to Board, Cube, and Planful as a OneStream alternative?

Board and Planful are commercial suites with their own UIs; Cube is closed spreadsheet-native FP&A. Konsolidat is the open-source, self-hostable option with statutory IC/NCI/CTA in the engine. See the table above and the mid-market TCO page.

How much does it cost vs OneStream?

Self-hosted Konsolidat has no license fee (MIT); ops is typically 0.3–1 FTE plus cloud. Hosted from $3,500/month. Pilot from $25,000. OneStream typical 3-year licensing $1.5M–$4M plus $500K–$1.5M implementation. Ranges, not quotes.

Can it handle statutory consolidation?

Yes — multi-entity IFRS/GAAP with FX translation, CTA, intercompany elimination, NCI and ownership changes, validated by 26 automated tests on every run. Details: open-source IFRS consolidation.

Does it keep my team in Excel?

Yes. Results come through =EPM() worksheet functions. See Excel-native financial consolidation and the =EPM() formula reference.
