Beyond the core platform, Anaplan sells three kinds of additions. Applications are pre-built planning solutions for finance, supply chain, revenue and workforce. Entitled services are platform features, such as Workflow and Optimizer, that exist only for tenants that bought them. AI products are charged by consumption of AI Credits. This article covers each, using the Anapedia terms pages that Anaplan keeps under its About section, which list the key documents as the Fair Use Policy, the Use Case Taxonomy, the Applications terms, AI Credits and statements of direction.[1]
Editions
Applications
Anaplan describes applications as “prebuilt, extensible solutions” for specific business processes. The Applications T&Cs say they are “separate from Anaplan platform entitlements” and do not include core components such as workspace capacity or user licences. They “rely on platform resources that customers already own”.[2] A customer buying an application therefore also needs enough user licence seats and workspace capacity to run it. Certain applications need specific capabilities, and Anaplan includes entitlements for those capabilities within the application. The customer is responsible for staying on the latest application version to maintain compatibility and performance.[2]
The terms pages list the applications by business area on retrieval:
| Area | Applications named |
|---|---|
| Finance | Integrated Financial Planning, Financial Consolidation, Disclosure Management, Consensus Margin Planning, Profitability Analysis, Project Cost Planning, Subscription Revenue Planning, Software Spend Optimization, Loan Book Planning, Private Credit Planning[3] |
| Supply Chain Planning | Demand Planning, Statistical Forecasting, Inventory Planning, Rough-Cut Capacity Planning, Supply Planning, Integrated Business Planning, Merchandise Financial Planning, Spend Analysis and Forecasting, Trade Promotion Management, Assortment Planning, Size Optimization, Commercial Supply Planning for Biotech, Order Automation[4] |
| Revenue Performance Management | Segmentation and Scoring, Go-to-Market Capacity Planning, Territory and Quota Planning, Anaplan for Salesforce[5] |
| Workforce Planning | Operational Workforce Planning, Project Resource Planning, Contact Center Planning, Workforce Budgeting[6] |
Entitled services
Anapedia marks several features as entitled, meaning they are bought separately and enabled for a tenant.
- Workflow. “An entitled service that must be bought separately”. Full use needs the Workflow Owner role, and both the role and the feature are tenant-specific.[7]
- Workflow Advanced. An entitled service that “requires a separate subscription”, adding parallel steps, branch and reconnect, value-based decisions and send-back loops.[8]
- Optimizer. An entitled service that must be opted into, available through the Customer Success Business Partner. It is not currently available in Polaris workspaces, although Polaris models can integrate with a Classic workspace model that runs the Optimizer action.[9]
- Polaris. A Polaris workspace can be provisioned if the subscription includes Polaris.[10]
- Data Orchestrator. Sold in packages with tenant allowances (see the capacity article).[11]
Forecaster
Anaplan Forecaster is a machine learning-based time-series forecasting tool, compatible with Classic and Polaris, and available in two tiers, Standard and Advanced.[12] To get it, customers are told to talk to their Customer Success Business Partner.[12] The tiers use the same workflow and differ in algorithms, data insights and explainability. Advanced offers the full range of algorithms, and new advanced features are generally released to it first.[13]
Metrics
Revenue tiers. Finance applications and Supply Chain Planning applications are “priced based on the annual revenue of the relevant business entity”. The price is set by the type of application purchased and the revenue tier of the business entity.[3][4] The relevant business entity is the legal entity that directly subscribes to and benefits from the application. In an enterprise with several legal entities, pricing may be based “solely on the revenue of the entity that is procuring and using the application, rather than the consolidated revenue of the broader corporate group”.[3] See Application price tier by entity revenue. The Revenue Performance Management and Workforce Planning pages reviewed do not state a pricing basis.[5][6]
Forecaster prediction points. Both Forecaster tiers measure usage in prediction points, calculated as the number of items forecast multiplied by the number of successful forecast action runs. Creating a forecast action uses no points, and running the same action again counts again.[13] The monthly quota is set by the subscription and tracked in the Prediction Tracker.[13]
| Tier | Monthly prediction quota |
|---|---|
| Standard | 240,000 |
| Advanced tier 1 | 240,000 |
| Advanced tier 2 | 1,200,000 |
| Advanced tier 3 | 2,400,000 |
| Advanced tier 4 | 4,800,000 |
Source for the table: Forecaster product tiers.[13] See Forecaster prediction point. Anapedia does not say what happens when a quota is exceeded.
AI Credits. Anaplan AI Credits are “a single, consumption-based way to access and pay for AI capabilities across the platform”. Rather than licensing each AI feature under its own access fee, customers hold a balance of credits that is drawn down as capabilities are used. The number of credits consumed varies with the capability and with the nature, volume and complexity of the underlying activity.[14] Anaplan “may establish and update” the consumption rates from time to time.[14] See AI Credit.
Counting / floors
Revenue audit. Anaplan reserves the right to audit the subscribing business entity’s reported revenue and to adjust the fees at any time if it finds a material deviation from the revenue metrics used to set pricing.[3][4] On the Supply Chain Planning page, a material deviation is defined as annual revenue exceeding one or more of USD 500 million, USD 2 billion, USD 5 billion or USD 10 billion.[4] Growth, an acquisition or an internal restructuring that changes the subscribing entity’s revenue can therefore change the price tier.
AI offerings. Two offerings are listed.
| Offering | Terms |
|---|---|
| AI Starter Credits | Access to eligible AI products; annual usage cap; no increase in user counts, workspace capacity or platform features[15] |
| AI Credits Add-on | Access to eligible AI products with an annual allowance of AI Credits; the amount of credits purchased is the entitlement[16] |
For both, usage caps are pro-rated for any period not equal to a year, and clients that exceed the cap “may be subject to additional charges or service restrictions” under the Agreement. The AI Addendum to the Anaplan Subscription Agreement must be signed, either separately or within an updated Order Schedule.[15][16] Credits are separate from platform entitlements and do not include user licences or workspace capacity.[14]
Daily limits. Daily consumption limits start at default thresholds and are enforced under the Fair Use Policy. When an organisation reaches its daily limit, access to AI products is suspended for the rest of the calendar day and resets at 00:00 UTC. Anaplan may adjust these limits based on utilisation, capacity and performance.[14]
Eligible products. The AI Credits eligibility page names CoModeler and Anaplan Analyst, and says credits can be purchased on a per-product basis.[17]
Virtualization & partitioning
AI products follow the model access settings of the customer’s tenant. Anaplan Analyst “adheres to your model’s access control settings”, so users see only the data they can access, and role-based access updates when a model role changes.[18] CoModeler is activated per workspace through Agent Studio and requires a workspace administrator, and it is available in Polaris and Classic workspaces.[19] Only users with the AI Admin role can access Agent Studio, where Analyst usage in credits is monitored on a Usage tab.[20]
Cloud / BYOL
All of these products are Anaplan-hosted, so BYOL does not apply. Two points matter for entitlement tracking. First, Anaplan Analyst and CoModeler are each “an entitled service” that “requires a separate subscription”.[18][19] Second, when a customer modifies the planning modules in an application, Anaplan’s representations, warranties and support obligations for those modules no longer apply unless otherwise agreed in writing. The customer holds a limited licence for the term of the subscription to modify the structure and content of modules for its internal business purposes in conjunction with its use of the service.[21] Customisation of an application is permitted, but it moves risk to the customer.
Programs
Revision of terms. The Applications and AI Credits terms are Anapedia pages that carry a last-modified date, and several changed during 2026. Anaplan lists the AI Credits terms by offering, and says that the consumption rates may be updated from time to time.[14] The Agreement defines the Documentation as help material that Anaplan may update from time to time, so a licence manager should save a dated copy of each terms page at signature.[22]
Analyst upgrades. Anaplan states that Analyst on the Agentic Platform became available on 28 September 2026, that analysts configured before that date remain operational, and that upgrading requires contacting the Customer Success Business Partner after reviewing data access permissions.[20] An upgrade is a contract and configuration step, so the credit position should be confirmed first.
Out of scope
This article does not cover the technical use of the applications or AI features, application functionality, prices, or the Data Processing Addendum for AI. It does not explain how credits convert into specific actions, because Anaplan states that consumption rates vary and can be updated, and the page reviewed does not publish a rate card.
