The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Adverity no published pricing and no tiers; every quote is bespoke, which the vendor states plainly; Anaplan workspace is licensed by memory consumed, so a model that grows as the business adds SKUs, regions or scenarios generates a bill increase without a single new user being added, and teams end up optimising models for licence cost rather than clarity.
  • They diverge on capability: Adverity covers Data aggregation, Anaplan covers Hyperblock calculation engine.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Adverity

  • Consolidating marketing data from many advertising platformsnot Anaplan
  • Transforming and harmonising campaign data across sourcesnot Anaplan
  • Monitoring data quality before it reaches reportingnot Anaplan
  • Feeding a BI tool or warehouse with marketing datanot Anaplan

Anaplan

  • Sales territory and quota planning across thousands of reps where a change to segmentation must reflow quota immediatelynot Adverity
  • Demand and supply planning at SKU and location level for a manufacturer with tens of thousands of itemsnot Adverity
  • Workforce planning that ties headcount, cost and capacity to a revenue plan across dozens of business unitsnot Adverity
  • Replacing a spreadsheet estate where the master planning model has become too large and too fragile for Excel to open reliablynot Adverity

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adverity

  • No published pricing and no tiers; every quote is bespoke, which the vendor states plainly
  • An ETL and data layer rather than a reporting tool, so it needs a BI destination alongside it

Anaplan

  • Workspace is licensed by memory consumed, so a model that grows as the business adds SKUs, regions or scenarios generates a bill increase without a single new user being added, and teams end up optimising models for licence cost rather than clarity.
  • Model building requires certified Anaplan modellers using a proprietary formula language, and the labour market for that skill is small, so most customers stay dependent on a systems integrator long after go-live.
  • Thoma Bravo took the company private in 2022 in a $10.7bn deal, and customers have since reported firmer renewal terms; a private-equity owner optimising for cash flow is a real factor in a multi-year planning contract.
  • Native reporting and visualisation are weak for anything beyond planning grids, so most customers push data out to Power BI or Tableau for executive reporting, adding another tool and another latency point.
  • Implementations are long. A connected planning programme across finance and supply chain routinely runs six to eighteen months before the first production plan, which is difficult to justify when the business wants a forecast this quarter.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Adverity: Does Adverity offer transparent published pricing?

No. Adverity does not publish fixed pricing plans. Instead, each customer receives a custom quote tailored to their specific needs and requirements, as stated on their pricing page.

Source
Anaplan: Why is Anaplan expensive even when user counts are low?

Because workspace is licensed on the memory your models consume as well as on users. Large models cost money regardless of how many people log in.

Adverity: How is Adverity pricing determined?

Adverity pricing is based on individual customer requirements. Interested buyers must complete a form and contact the sales team to receive a customized quote, making it quote-only with no published rate card.

Source
Anaplan: Do we need a systems integrator?

Almost always for the first implementation. The proprietary modelling language and the scale of typical models make an experienced partner or an internal certified team effectively mandatory.

Anaplan: Who owns Anaplan?

Thoma Bravo, which took it private in 2022 for $10.7bn.

Anaplan: Can it replace our BI tool?

No. It is a planning and calculation platform; most customers still export to Power BI or Tableau for reporting and dashboards.
