What you would be giving up
Vena Solutions is most often brought in for a finance team that wants governance and audit over budgeting but refuses to give up excel formulas, replacing a shared drive full of departmental budget workbooks with routed templates and tracked submission, consolidating actuals from more than one erp into a single reporting set without a data warehouse project, running monthly rolling forecasts where the model is complex enough to need real spreadsheet logic. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Vena Solutions is broadly right and the question is cost, the Vena Solutions pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Accounting category lists everything the directory holds, and best accounting tools ranks them.
Vena Solutions runs on web, windows, excel add-in. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
