The lowest total cost of ownership in enterprise EPM — and the only one that never asks for your data.
Every platform on this page eventually asks you to move your financial data into their cloud, hire a consultant to configure it, and pay per seat while you wait months to go live. Katmai runs natively inside the Snowflake account you already govern — no migration, no implementation partner, and no per-user toll — which is why its total cost of ownership comes in lowest below.

Coverage, Terms & Cost
One table. Every platform, every term that matters.
The colored band shows which stage(s) each platform actually covers, with the all-in cost for that coverage sitting right inside it. Katmai never touches Stage 1 — that’s your ERP’s job — and from Stage 2 on, it’s the only platform here priced like it.

TCO reflects the full range observed across entity counts from 1 to 100+, combining license/subscription, implementation, integrations, and maintenance. Katmai’s Self-serve figure assumes you configure it yourself; Managed adds our team handling setup and ongoing administration — still with no third-party consultant in the loop. Competitor figures are directional estimates for typical mid-market deployments, compiled from public pricing signals, analyst commentary, and RFP benchmarks — not official vendor list prices.

What’s Actually In The Price
The four line items that inflate every other quote
Integrations
$0 in ETL, because there's nothing to move
Katmai reads your ERP tables directly inside Snowflake. Most competitors charge $10K–$75K+ per source system for connectors, middleware, or a dedicated ETL pipeline before you see a single report.
Implementation
Weeks, not a 6-month SI engagement
Install from the Snowflake Marketplace and configure it yourself — or let our team do it for you under the Managed tier. Legacy platforms typically require a systems-integrator engagement running $50K–$300K+ in consulting fees, billed separately from the license.
Maintenance
Patches ship automatically, no line item
Updates are part of the subscription. Traditional EPM vendors bill 18–22% of your license fee every year as a separate 'maintenance & support' renewal — a cost that compounds as your license grows.
User Seats
One price. Every analyst, every manager.
Katmai's TCO scales with entity count, not headcount. Competitors charge $50–$500 per user, per month — so the same close team gets more expensive every time you hire.
No contract. No consultants. No data migration.
