FP&A & Financial Planning: AI Visibility Ranking

Financial planning and analysis platforms for budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. Right now, Anaplan is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 59 and the #1 spot in 38% of answers. Head-to-head: Anaplan vs Mosaic →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Anaplan and Mosaic are nearly tied; nobody has pulled away.

Anaplan leads by only 3 points despite being the first pick 38% of the time, because Mosaic actually shows up in more answers overall. Pigment is the strangest case: ChatGPT scores it at 63 while Claude barely registers it at 13, a 50-point gap that suggests the models have sharply conflicting views of its relevance. Workday Adaptive Planning trails the field badly at 29.6 despite the brand recognition it carries outside of AI recommendations.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Drivetrain (7.6), Abacum (7.5), Power BI (6.8), Looker (4.3), Vareto (4). 60 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 41/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
