The core difference

Both Runway and Mosaic give you SaaS metrics, dashboards, and automated reporting. The main differences are your model structure, what you can connect, and for whom the product is actually built.

Modeling flexibility

  • Runway lets you build a model around how your business actually works, with custom drivers, assumptions, and logic that update in real time as things change.

  • Mosaic comes with a fixed model structure. Teams that need to go beyond the defaults often end up back in Google Sheets.

Integration breadth

  • Runway connects to 750+ tools, including ERPs, CRMs, HRIS platforms, and your data warehouse, so your model always reflects what's actually happening.

  • Mosaic offers around 29 out-of-the-box integrations. If your stack includes less common tools, you may hit a wall and have to manually pull data to fill the gaps.

Product focus

  • Runway is purpose-built for FP&A. Every feature, every integration, and every product decision is made with finance teams in mind.

  • Mosaic was acquired by HiBob and is now part of an HR platform. The roadmap is pointed toward workforce planning, not modeling depth
