Pigment (Workforce Planning) review and pricing

Modern Anaplan challenger with WFP-credible scenario depth.

By Pigment · Founded 2019 · Paris, France · private

Pigment is the modern Anaplan challenger, founded 2019 in Paris with operations in London and New York, with a $148M Series C in 2022 led by Iconiq Growth and follow-on funding through 2024. The product is a modern planning platform with FP&A roots, expanding aggressively into workforce planning across 2023-2025. Strengths: modern UX, modelling depth that approaches Anaplan without the Anaplan-modelling-language learning curve, strong French and UK enterprise traction, aggressive AI-driven product velocity, and a credible answer for buyers who want Anaplan depth without Anaplan friction. Trade-offs: WFP-specific packaged content less mature than Visier or ChartHop on the HR side, customer base in WFP still building, pricing opaque, and the FP&A heritage means Pigment is more naturally Finance-led than HR-led (this is a feature for finance-led WFP buyers, a constraint for HR-led ones).

Visit Pigment (Workforce Planning) Vendor pricing Compare to SAP SuccessFactors Workforce Planning
Best for

Finance-led mid-market and lower-enterprise (500-10,000 employees) wanting Anaplan-grade modelling depth with modern UX, especially in Europe; or finance teams already running Pigment for FP&A who want to add WFP on the same platform.

Worst for

HR-led buyers wanting packaged HR-anchored WFP (Visier, ChartHop better), Workday HCM customers (Adaptive bundled), or buyers needing the broadest enterprise reference base (Anaplan better).
