Cube: finance consolidation software platform

Cube publishes no prices. Checked 16 October 2026, its pricing page names Bronze, Silver and Gold and puts a Get quote button on each one, but it does publish the scale limits behind them: one legal entity, up to ten, up to fifty. Buy it if finance lives in Excel and your entity count is small. Skip it if you need a rate card.

Cube in brief

Cube publishes no prices.

Price: None, quote only · Quote-based, three tiers plus a scoped Strategic option
Best for: Excel and Google Sheets finance teams under fifty legal entities
Watch out for: You give up headroom past fifty entities.

The short answer

Buy Cube if your finance team builds in Excel and Google Sheets and has no intention of stopping, and if you want the numbers in those spreadsheets to come from one governed model rather than from last month's export. Buy it too if your headcount is growing faster than your legal entity count, because every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited dimensions and unlimited dashboards.

Skip it if you run more than fifty legal entities or more than one terabyte of data, because that puts you in the Strategic conversation rather than a published tier. Skip it if you consolidate across currencies on a small budget, since multicurrency consolidation is an add-on on Bronze and Silver and only included on Gold. And skip it if single sign-on is non-negotiable and Bronze is your budget.

Where Cube fits

Cube's whole design decision is that finance keeps the spreadsheet. Cube Web, plus native Excel and Google Sheets, is on every plan including Bronze, so an analyst goes on building in the grid while the actuals, the dimensions and the business logic come from a governed layer underneath. That is a different proposition from a platform that asks your team to rebuild its models in a new modelling language, and it is the reason Cube shows up on shortlists where the real blocker is adoption rather than functionality.

The second thing that decides fit is the entity count, because that is what Cube's packaging is built on. Bronze covers one legal entity, Silver up to ten and Gold up to fifty, and a fourth option described as Strategic covers teams running more than fifty entities or more than one terabyte of data. Nothing else in the tier table moves nearly as much. So the sizing exercise before any sales call is a list of your legal entities, including the dormant ones and the ones you acquired and never wound up, because that list tells you which column you will be quoted from.

Users deliberately do not drive the price, and that is unusual enough to be a reason to look. Cube states that every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited dimensions and unlimited dashboards, and its own pricing FAQ confirms that users are not capped on any plan. In a category where a budget owner who logs in twice a year still costs a seat, handing read and submit access to every department head without a repricing conversation changes how widely you can roll the thing out.

Where your team works decides the tier more than what the product does. Cube Web and the spreadsheet surfaces are on Bronze, while Slack, Teams, PowerPoint and Google Slides, workflows, MCP and headless deployment for AI assistants, SSO, SCIM and advanced role based access control all start at Silver. Two of those are governance items rather than conveniences: if your security team requires single sign-on and automated provisioning, Bronze is off the table regardless of how few entities you run.

Cube positions the AI layer as included rather than as an upsell, and the detail that matters for an auditor is traceability. Cube says the AI agents for data, analysis, planning and reporting are in every plan, and that every answer traces back to the source transaction or assumption. The platform is SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant, and queries respect the roles and permissions you set. For a controller who has to explain where a number came from, that provenance claim is the one worth testing in a demo rather than taking on trust.

Cube pricing

Cube publishes no prices. Checked on 16 October 2026, the pricing page is titled Transparent and Upfront Pricing, names Bronze, Silver and Gold, and puts a Get quote button on every one of them. No figure appears anywhere on the page. What the page does publish, and what makes it more useful than most quote-only pages in this category, is the scale limits that separate the tiers: the entity caps, the training hours and which surfaces and controls arrive at which level. Those limits are what the quote is a function of, so they are what to work with.

What Cube publishes

Bronze: Not published, quote only (Custom quote)One legal entity, Cube Web Workspace plus native Excel and Google Sheets, dashboards, dimensions and roles, the FP&Agents, unlimited users and dimensions, four training hours.
Silver: Not published, quote only (Custom quote)Everything in Bronze, up to ten legal entities, Slack, Teams, PowerPoint and Google Slides, workflows, MCP and headless deployment for AI assistants, SSO, SCIM and advanced role based access control, twelve training hours.
Gold: Not published, quote only (Custom quote)Everything in Silver, up to fifty legal entities, multicurrency consolidation included, premium support included.
Strategic: Not published, scoped with Cube (Scoped with Cube)For teams running more than fifty entities or more than one terabyte of data. Adds unlimited connections, user packages and premium support.

Plan names, entity caps and inclusions are from the Cube pricing page as read on 16 October 2026. No price is published for any tier, so every price cell above says so rather than guessing.

Four things set the number, and the first one is arithmetic you can do before you call.

Your legal entity count, which is the metric the tiers are drawn on. One entity puts you on Bronze, up to ten on Silver, up to fifty on Gold, and past fifty you are in a Strategic conversation. Count the entities you report, then count the ones that exist on paper, and ask what happens commercially when you acquire something mid-term and cross a boundary you had priced for.
Which surfaces your team needs, because that is the Bronze to Silver step. Slack, Teams, PowerPoint and Google Slides, workflows, MCP and headless deployment, SSO, SCIM and advanced role based access control all start at Silver. If a security review will insist on single sign-on and automated user provisioning, Silver is your floor and the entity count stops being the deciding factor.
Whether you consolidate in more than one currency. Multicurrency consolidation is included on Gold and listed as an add-on on Bronze and Silver. A company with eight entities and two reporting currencies therefore has a genuine choice between Silver plus an add-on and Gold, and the only way to make it is to get the add-on priced rather than assume it is small.
What you intend to build on and how much hand-holding you want. Premium Support+, Additional Modules and API Access are the three add-ons Cube says are available with any plan, and none carries a published price. Training hours are in the tier instead of an implementation fee: four hours on Bronze, twelve on Silver and Gold. If your model build is more than a few days of work, ask who does it and what happens when the twelve hours run out.

What costs extra

Premium Support+, Additional Modules and API Access, which Cube lists as available with any plan and prices on none of them.
Multicurrency consolidation, shown as an add-on on Bronze and Silver and as included on Gold.
Strategic scope for teams past fifty entities or one terabyte of data, which Cube describes as adding unlimited connections, user packages and premium support, scoped with you rather than priced on the page.

Implementation and commercial terms

The rows below are what the Cube pricing page confirms as of 16 October 2026. Read the entity caps as the commercial model rather than as feature trivia, because they are the only published numbers on the page.

Published price: None, quote only. Three tiers, each with a Get quote button.
Tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, plus a Strategic option scoped with Cube.
Entity caps: One on Bronze, up to ten on Silver, up to fifty on Gold.
Users: Unlimited on every plan, along with unlimited dimensions and dashboards.
Implementation fee: None published. Training hours are in the tier: four on Bronze, twelve on Silver and Gold.
Support: Standard on all three tiers, with Premium available as an add-on on Gold.
Free trial: A Try it free call to action sits alongside Get a demo, with no published length or terms.
Security: SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified, HIPAA compliant, by Cube's own statement.

Budget Cube from your entity list and your security requirements, in that order, then treat everything else as negotiation. Decide which tier your entity count lands you in, check whether SSO and SCIM force you up a level, and get multicurrency consolidation and API Access priced as named lines before you sign rather than after you have built on them. Because no figure is published, the only way to sanity-check the quote is to run it against a competitive one: Datarails publishes seat and integration counts but no price either, and Lucanet publishes a full feature comparison and a twelve month minimum licence term with no figure attached. Two quotes discipline each other better than one quote and a hunch.

What Cube gives up

You give up headroom past fifty entities. The published tiers stop at fifty legal entities and one terabyte of data, and beyond that Cube sells a Strategic plan that is scoped with you and described rather than packaged. A group running sixty reporting entities is not buying from the price page at all, and should expect a conversation closer to an enterprise consolidation sale. If your entity count is high and climbing, look at OneStream and Lucanet, both of which build their packaging around group structure rather than around a cap.

You give up multicurrency consolidation in the lower tiers, and that gap is at the awkward end of the range. The tier table lists it as an add-on on Bronze and Silver and included on Gold, so the mid-sized group with ten entities across two or three countries is exactly the buyer who finds the feature they need sitting one tier up or behind a separate line. Price both routes rather than assuming the add-on is a rounding error, and get the answer in writing before the order form is drafted.

You give up single sign-on on the entry tier. SSO, SCIM and advanced role based access control start at Silver, which means Bronze is a tier a security review can veto for reasons that have nothing to do with finance. Plenty of single-entity companies with mature IT policies will find they cannot buy the plan their size suggests. Work out which team holds that veto before you build a business case around the cheapest option.

You give up the comfort of a published number, and the reassurance of the page title does not change that. A page called Transparent and Upfront Pricing that carries no figure is still a page you cannot budget from, so your first finance meeting is about a range you have invented rather than a rate you can cite. The practical consequence is evaluation time: you need two or three quotes to know whether yours is normal, and that is work a published rate card would have saved you.

You give up implementation certainty beyond the training allowance. Cube publishes no implementation fee and offers training hours instead, four on Bronze and twelve on Silver and Gold, which is a generous way to describe onboarding and a thin way to describe a model build. If your chart of accounts is messy, your entities run different account structures, or your historical data needs mapping before it is useful, ask who does that work, how long Cube expects it to take, and what the rate is once the included hours are gone.

How Cube compares

Nobody in this group publishes a price, so the useful comparison is what each vendor publishes instead. Cube publishes entity caps and training hours. Datarails publishes seat and integration counts. Lucanet publishes a full feature matrix and a twelve month minimum licence term. OneStream publishes nothing and has no pricing page at all. Every cell below comes from that vendor's own pricing page, checked on the date in its own record, and anything unpublished is recorded as unpublished rather than estimated.

What to test in a Cube trial

Cube's pricing page carries a Try it free call to action alongside Get a demo, but publishes no trial length or terms, so settle what you get and for how long before you plan the evaluation. Whatever shape it takes, the trial has two jobs: prove the spreadsheet link holds under pressure, and get the tier and the add-ons named in writing.

Bring your own worst spreadsheet, not a clean sample. Connect your real source system, pull actuals into the Excel or Google Sheets model your team already uses, then change something in the grid and check what flows back. The claim being tested is that finance keeps the spreadsheet and the numbers stop being stale, and a model with merged cells, hard-coded overrides and three years of history is the honest test of it.
Count your legal entities out loud and ask which tier that lands you in. Include dormant entities, entities you report but do not consolidate, and anything you expect to acquire in the contract term. Then ask what happens commercially when you cross a boundary mid-term, since the caps are one, ten and fifty and the answer decides whether a single acquisition reopens your pricing.
Test multicurrency properly if you have more than one reporting currency. It is an add-on on Bronze and Silver and included on Gold, so run a translation and an elimination over two entities in different currencies during the evaluation and watch who does the work. Get the add-on priced in the same conversation, because the Silver plus add-on against Gold comparison is the main commercial decision on this product.
Put the AI traceability claim in front of whoever signs your audit file. Ask a question through the agents or through an AI assistant over MCP, then follow the answer back to the source transaction or assumption and check the permissions held on the way. Cube says every insight traces back and that queries respect roles, so make the demo show the trace rather than the answer.
Settle the commercial list before the trial ends. Get the tier named, the entity cap written into the order form, the unlimited users statement confirmed in the contract rather than only on the website, and prices for Premium Support+, Additional Modules and API Access as separate lines. Ask what the training hours cover, four on Bronze and twelve above it, and what the rate is after that, along with exit terms and data export rights for the model and its history.

Frequently asked questions about Cube

How much does Cube software cost?

Cube publishes no prices. As of 16 October 2026 its pricing page names Bronze, Silver and Gold and puts a Get quote button on each, with no figure anywhere on the page. Cube says it prices by plan and quotes for your company based on a few company details.

Does Cube charge per user?

No. Cube states that every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited dimensions and unlimited dashboards, and its pricing FAQ confirms users are not capped on any plan. The tiers scale on legal entity count instead, so adding viewers or budget owners should not reprice the contract.

What is the difference between Bronze, Silver and Gold?

Scale and surfaces, not core features. Bronze covers one legal entity, Silver up to ten and Gold up to fifty. Silver adds Slack, Teams, PowerPoint, Google Slides, workflows, MCP and headless deployment, SSO and SCIM. Gold includes multicurrency consolidation and premium support.

Does Cube handle multicurrency consolidation?

Yes, but check your tier. Multicurrency consolidation is included on Gold and listed as an add-on on Bronze and Silver. If you consolidate across currencies on ten entities or fewer, ask for the add-on priced as its own line so you can compare Silver plus the add-on against Gold.

Can Cube work inside Excel and Google Sheets?

Yes, on every plan including Bronze. Cube lists the web workspace plus native Excel and Google Sheets as standard, with Slack, Teams, PowerPoint and Google Slides starting at Silver. The point of the product is that analysts keep building in the grid while the numbers come from one governed model.

What happens if we run more than fifty entities?

You leave the published tiers. Cube describes a Strategic plan for teams running more than fifty entities or more than one terabyte of data, adding unlimited connections, user packages and premium support, scoped with Cube rather than priced on the page. Expect an enterprise-style negotiation instead of a tier.

Is there a Cube free trial?

The pricing page carries a Try it free call to action alongside Get a demo, but publishes no trial length, seat limit or terms as of 16 October 2026. Settle what the trial includes and how long it runs before you plan an evaluation around it.

What security and compliance does Cube have?

Cube states it is SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant, and that every query respects the roles and permissions you set. SSO, SCIM and advanced role based access control start at Silver, so the entry tier may not clear a security review.

Does Cube charge an implementation fee?

None is published. Cube lists training hours in the tier instead: four on Bronze and twelve on Silver and Gold. If your chart of accounts needs mapping or your entities use different account structures, ask who does that work and what the rate is once the included hours run out.

Can you audit a number that Cube's AI produced?

Cube says yes: the AI agents are included on every plan and every answer traces back to the source transaction or assumption. Test that in the evaluation by following one AI answer back to the underlying record, and check the permissions applied along the way before you rely on it.
