Power shouldn't come at the cost of speed
Enterprise-grade planning with a spreadsheet-familiar interface—no months-long learning curve required.
Trusted by fast-moving teams
The core difference
Both Runway and Pigment give you scenario planning, real-time collaboration, and cross-functional alignment. The main differences are how quickly your team gets up to speed, how well it works like the tools you already use, and whether the platform is built exclusively for finance.
Time to proficiency
Runway teams are up and running in weeks, not months. No long onboarding, no external consultants required.
Pigment users report three to six months before they feel fully autonomous, and most teams find they need a certified implementation partner to get going.
Spreadsheet fluency
Runway works like a spreadsheet, so the way your team already thinks about models translates directly. No new mental model required.
Pigment has its own proprietary interface and formula language. If your team lives in spreadsheets, those skills don't carry over.
Right-sized for finance
Runway solves the finance modeling problem exceptionally well—depth over breadth, without paying for modules you won't use.
Pigment spans finance, sales, HR, and supply chain. Most companies end up with only finance using it, paying for complexity they don't need.

Platform breakdown
Honest reviews—The good and the bad
”Runway has allowed me to immediately reference any part of our model with ease, and to segment in any way I can imagine. We can now get down to vendor level BvA analysis.”
“Runway makes complex modeling a lot easier. It's just better and easier than an Excel spreadsheet.”
”The system is incredibly powerful, easy to use, easy to implement and learn, and they have a very responsive team of real people.”
“There's somewhat of a learning curve but not as steep of a learning curve as other FP&A software.”
”The options are limitless on the dimensions that you can create and link within your various models.”
”Some bugs here and there, a bit sus, but support is so fast it barely matters.”
”The onboarding specialist listens to feedback and actually implements improvements.”
“Many up front hours required for implementation. But this is easier than competitors like Anaplan.”
“Runway helps me plan for any "what if" scenario, to compare simultaneously without affecting my model, and then easily update as decisions are made.”
