Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Pigment yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Pigment | Tech-forward mid-market, driver‑based modeling, rapid scenario analysis | Deep driver‑based modeling ... enterprise‑grade power on short implementation timelines” GLM 4.7 FlashX · FP&A platforms · direct prompt · first choice
“Go with Pigment if you are forward-looking, have a modern finance team, and want a highly collaborative, visual, and agile scenario-planning tool.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · FP&A platforms · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Go with Cube (if you want to keep Excel) or Pigment (if you want a modern, web-native planning tool)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Financial reporting · direct prompt · first choice
“Pigment is arguably the fastest-growing modern FP&A tool... top-tier scenario planning and design clarity” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Financial modeling · direct prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid or be cautious about enterprise platforms (Anaplan, Workday Adaptive, Planful, Pigment)” Mistral Small · FP&A platforms · negative prompt · hard negative
“What to avoid when budget is tight ... overkill for a budget-conscious company” DeepSeek V4 Flash · FP&A platforms · budget prompt · hard negative
“Pigment and other enterprise platforms have pricing that "scales significantly with user count and data volume."” MiniMax M2.5 · FP&A platforms · negative prompt · soft negative
“It is on the expensive side for the mid-market, implementation is heavier... Avoid *Pigment* or *Adaptive*” Gemini 3.5 Flash · FP&A platforms · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Pigment. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 150 of the 186 answers that named Pigment and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Pigment's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Pigment, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at pigment.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
