AI-native planning,
without the Workday tax.
Workday Adaptive Planning is a great fit if you're already a Workday HCM customer. If you're not, you're paying an enterprise tax for a tool that wasn't designed around modern AI. NashOS is the alternative: AI-first, mid-market price, ready in hours.

What you get with NashOS that you don't with Adaptive
Built for the LLM era, not retrofitted
Adaptive is a strong product, but its AI features are added on top of an architecture from before LLM tool-use was viable. NashOS was designed around an agent that can read AND write the cube safely.
Forecasting depth that doesn't require an ML team
15 algorithms shipped, with R²/RMSE/MAPE comparisons baked in. Adaptive forecasts are fine for trend extrapolation — for AI-driven what-if, NashOS goes further.
No Workday lock-in required
If you're not on Workday HCM, Adaptive's biggest integration advantage doesn't apply. NashOS stays integration-agnostic — REST/SFTP/Excel/CSV today, with NetSuite + QuickBooks on the roadmap.
Pricing that lets a 30-person company actually buy it
Adaptive's mid-market pricing starts in six figures. NashOS is $99–$499/mo for the same core capabilities. The CFO who'd never get budget for Adaptive can buy this on a credit card.
NashOS is for you if
You want a planning tool that's AI-native, not retrofitted. You're not on Workday HCM (or don't care about that integration). You want to be live this quarter, not next year.
Adaptive is for you if
You're a Workday HCM customer wanting tight HR + finance integration, you have an enterprise FP&A team, and your IT can manage a 3–6 month rollout.
