Mid-market EPM · lower TCO

A cheaper alternative to OneStream and Anaplan — and Tagetik — for mid-market finance.

Konsolidat is the lower-cost OneStream / Tagetik / Anaplan alternative for groups of roughly 10–500 finance users: Excel-native statutory consolidation, MIT self-host at $0 license, hosted from $3,500/month, 4-week pilot from $25,000. You give up Marketplace catalogues and Hyperblock modelling languages. You keep the close, the source code, and Excel.

3-year TCO

What “cheaper” actually means.

Typical ranges for a 10–500 user enterprise group. Same bands as the homepage comparison. Not quotes — actual cost depends on users, entities, and SI scope.

Hosted Konsolidat add-ons: + $500–$1,500/mo per ERP connector; + $300–$800/mo per legal entity. Self-host ops: typically 0.3–1 FTE + ClickHouse/Airbyte infra (low five figures/year). Planful and Board sit between Cube-like mid-market SaaS and OneStream; they are still licensed platforms, not $0-license OSS.

Mid-market, defined

Who this cheaper alternative is for.

Mid-market here means

  • Cannot (or will not) fund a 12–24 month SI programme
  • Need statutory consolidation — IC, NCI, CTA — not only connected planning
  • Want to keep Excel rather than retrain onto Anaplan or Tagetik UI
  • GL is Dynamics 365 F&O, ERPNext, or SAP S/4HANA (pilot)
  • Finance users roughly 10–500

What you give up vs the three majors

  • OneStream Marketplace and XF solution catalogue
  • Anaplan Hyperblock / connected-planning modelling language
  • Tagetik disclosure management and CPM process depth
  • A global partner bench that has implemented the same product 400 times

Honest gap list (same as homepage): automated cash-flow statements, multi-GAAP parallel reporting, and rolling forecasts are on the roadmap — not claimed as shipped.
