Why FP&A leaders choose Centage over Cube
What real users are saying

Spreadsheet-based, doesn’t scale with your growth
As a fundamentally spreadsheet-based solution, Cube is prone to bugs, and fixing errors is complex. Users say it’s difficult to present data in a representative way without intervention from Cube's consulting team.
Public feedback reveals that the platform is not as intuitive as purported and comes with a learning curve. Onboarding is slower than expected for some and requires professional onboarding assistance. Updating new source data is a slow, manual process.
Cube is limited to 8 dimensions and offers only summary drilldowns, so it’s not ideally suited for a company that surpasses a certain level of complexity, or that will need to modify its FP&A process as it grows.

Formula-free, drag & drop functionality, ongoing high-level support after implementation
Centage’s formula-free design eliminates spreadsheet formula errors. Our unique in-house Advisor role helps customers with implementation, training, and consulting on best practices for budgeting models and reporting options within the tool, throughout their time using the product.
Centage’s FP&A software is fully customizable and presents no limitations in terms of the # of budgeting dimensions or the granularity of drill-down analysis. As your company grows, Centage’s drag & drop functionality means you can easily create a new budget for a new location, profit center, service line, etc, and update your models to be more robust and detailed as your needs change.
The FP&A solution that best fits your needs
We know there are a lot of FP&A software solutions out there — you’re here looking for the one that best fits your needs.
On one side, some of our competitors offer a less robust feature set (basically an Excel add-on) and a quick “set it and forget it” implementation with little to no follow-up support. If you’re a small business with no plans for major growth, these may work better for you.
On the other side, there are high-cost, high-maintenance enterprise software solutions — this will be a better fit if you’re a major company with a huge workforce.
Centage delivers powerful budgeting, forecasting, and data analysis typically only enjoyed by large enterprises, at a price point that makes it accessible for growth-stage businesses. It’s the only formula-free FP&A software.
