I really want to like it but looking at the pricing it's just insane. As a startup founder no way I can confidently pay 500 USD / months for what seems like a very shiny excel-on-the-web application if in comparison our entire project tools and automation across all teams cost us 220USD pm (ClickUp). Maybe I'm just missing something in the offering. Congrats on the launch and a very cool landing page nonetheless.

Really appreciate the kind words on the landing page. Our designer is having a terrific day it seems :) As far as the pricing, our hope is that we go beyond what an excel sheet can offer. First, we timed an investment banker building a model in excel versus doing it in Finmark. Doing it in Finmark was more than 10x faster. We also integrate into your other systems to pull actuals automatically every month which should save you time each month. Later this year we plan on then aggregating benchmarks to help you get a better understanding of how your metrics and assumptions compare to similar companies. I could go on and on on the differences between us and a spreadsheet. That said, it is still early and value the feedback. If enough people mention price as the key reason not to use Finmark then we will listen and adjust.

  Thanks for the follow-up. I definitely think some screenshots of the tool directly on the homepage will work to convey that additional value.
