How we compiled this
Official pricing/security pages were re-fetched via WebFetch on 2026-06-15 for each vendor (cubesoftware.com/pricing + /security, datarails.com/pricing + trust center, jirav.com/business-pricing + jirav.com/pricing, pigment.com/pricing[404] + /security, abacum.ai/pricing + /product/security, venasolutions.com/resources/pricing + /trust, planful.com/pricing[404] + /platform, drivetrain.ai/faq, causal.app/pricing[redirect to Lucanet]). WebSearch corroborated compliance and acquisition facts. Mosaic (mosaic.tech) was acquired by HiBob; excluded as a standalone FP&A vendor. Causal was acquired by Lucanet on 31 Oct 2024; causal.app/pricing now redirects to a Lucanet xP&A page with NO self-serve prices, and self-serve signup is no longer offered, so the legacy Capterra figures ($0 Free / $250 Startup) are treated as historical-only and monthlyUsd is set to null (a null beats a stale guess). All FP&A vendors in this vertical are quote-only EXCEPT Jirav, which publishes flat annual/monthly prices. Vena GDPR downgraded to null (trust page lists SOC 1/2, ISO 27001, PCI but does not state GDPR as a certification). Per-seat is noted where applicable. accessedAt 2026-06-15.
