OneStream alternative

The open-source
OneStream alternative.

OneStream is a capable unified CPM platform — but it typically means a seven-figure license, a 12–24 month implementation, and a closed model your team exports to Excel anyway. Konsolidat gives you the same consolidation rigor, Excel-native, on an open stack.

Why teams switch

Why finance teams move
off OneStream.

01

Seven-figure TCO before value

License plus system-integrator fees commonly run well into seven figures over three years — before your first clean close.

02

12–24 month implementations

Enterprise CPM rollouts are long. Konsolidat is designed to reach a working consolidation in weeks, not quarters.

03

You export to Excel anyway

The logic lives in OneStream; the analysis ends up in Excel. Konsolidat makes Excel the native interface via =EPM() and keeps the engine open.

The unfair advantage

The one EPM you
actually own.

OneStream, like every commercial EPM, is a closed SaaS you rent — the model, the data, the roadmap, all on the vendor’s terms. Konsolidat gives you the whole application to run on your own infrastructure, inspect, fork, and own.

FAQ

OneStream alternative —
common questions.

Is Konsolidat a good OneStream alternative?

Konsolidat is an open-source EPM alternative to OneStream: Excel-native consolidation, allocation, budgeting and variance on a ClickHouse + dbt backend, connected to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and ERPNext, with no license fee under MIT. It's a lower-cost, lower-lock-in option — not a feature-for-feature replacement in every niche.

How much does it cost vs OneStream?

Self-hosted Konsolidat has no license fee (MIT); your only cost is operating it. A managed option is available. OneStream typically involves six- to seven-figure licensing plus implementation over three years.

Can it handle statutory consolidation?

Yes — multi-entity IFRS/GAAP consolidation with FX translation, CTA, intercompany elimination, NCI and ownership changes, validated by 26 automated tests on every run.

Does it keep my team in Excel?

Yes. Results come through =EPM() worksheet functions in the spreadsheets finance already uses — no new modeling UI to learn.
