Disclosure: Metapraxis is an independent FP&A consulting firm and the developer of our own EPM/FP&A platform, Empower — one of the alternatives discussed below. We have no commercial relationship with Mosaic or HiBob. We consult on Abacum, Cube, Pigment, Drivetrain, Datarails and others, and we will tell you honestly when staying on HiBob's Finance Suite is the right answer for your team. Figures and product positioning are current as of mid-2026 and should be re-confirmed at the time of purchase.
What happened to Mosaic.tech?
Mosaic was founded in 2019 by Bijan Moallemi, Joseph Garafalo and Brian Campbell — three former Palantir finance leaders — and built one of the best-regarded "third-generation" strategic-finance platforms on the market, consistently earning top G2 ratings (historically 4.6–4.9/5) for its ease of use, 150+ pre-built SaaS metrics, and real-time ERP, CRM, HRIS and billing integrations.
In February 2025, HR-tech vendor HiBob announced its acquisition of Mosaic (reported at around $35 million). As of mid-2026, the position is clear:
- mosaic.tech now redirects to HiBob. The independent Mosaic web presence has been retired; the domain resolves to HiBob's site.
- Mosaic's capabilities are now HiBob's "Finance Suite." Its planning, reporting and metrics features have been embedded inside HiBob's "Bob" HCM platform, positioned as "the first mid-market FP&A tool fully integrated within an HCM platform."
- There is no standalone strategic-finance product to buy. New customers acquire FP&A through HiBob, not as the independent, vendor-neutral tool Mosaic used to be.
This is a meaningful change of strategy, not just a logo swap. Mosaic was built as an independent finance platform that sat on top of whatever ERP, CRM and HRIS you ran. HiBob's Finance Suite is, by design, anchored to HiBob's own HCM — its central pitch is that people data from Bob powers your financial plans. For some teams that integration is a feature; for others it changes the buying logic entirely.
Why this is a "Mosaic alternatives" moment: When a beloved standalone tool is absorbed into a larger suite, two things tend to follow over time — the roadmap reorients around the parent company's priorities, and pricing/packaging gets re-bundled at renewal. Neither is necessarily bad, but both are reasons to re-evaluate now rather than discover the change at your next renewal.
What it means for existing Mosaic customers
HiBob has publicly stated that existing Mosaic customers will continue to be fully supported through the transition, with Mosaic's senior leadership staying on to lead HiBob's new FP&A division. If you are a current customer, you are not being switched off. But it is worth being clear-eyed about what changes:
- Roadmap reorientation. Future development is steered toward HiBob's HR-plus-finance vision. If your priorities are ERP/CRM-first FP&A — not HCM-integrated planning — your needs may slip down the priority list.
- Bundling at renewal. Pricing and packaging are likely to be re-shaped around HiBob's suite. Model your renewal cost carefully and ask explicitly what the independent FP&A SKU looks like going forward.
- Strategic fit drift. If you do not run HiBob for HR — or have no plans to — the "integrated with your HCM" advantage that now defines the product simply does not apply to you.
- Natural decision point. An acquisition is the cleanest, lowest-blame moment to reassess. You are not abandoning a tool that's working; you are responding to the vendor changing what the tool is.
The honest framing: if you already run HiBob for HR and like the idea of headcount and financial planning in one place, the Finance Suite may now be a stronger fit than standalone Mosaic ever was. If you bought Mosaic precisely because it was an independent, best-of-breed FP&A tool, the alternatives below deserve a serious look.
Best Mosaic alternatives (mid-2026)
The table compares the most relevant dedicated FP&A platforms for teams leaving — or evaluating leaving — Mosaic. We have led with Empower (our own platform) and then listed the independent tools that most closely match what Mosaic users valued: fast deployment, SaaS-metric depth, and vendor-neutral integrations.
| Platform |

£20k–£60k p.a. |
| Cube |
Teams that want to keep working in Excel/Sheets |
Spreadsheet-native, quick to stand up, low change-management cost; good for lean finance teams |

Fast-growing companies wanting flexible, visual modelling |
Powerful, modern modelling environment and collaboration; scales beyond what Mosaic offered |
Heavier implementation and higher cost than Mosaic; can be more than an SMB needs |

| HiBob Finance Suite (stay) |
Existing HiBob HCM customers |
The path of least disruption if you run Bob for HR and want headcount + finance in one place |
Anchored to HiBob's HCM; weaker logic if you don't run — or plan to run — HiBob for HR |
Bundled with HiBob |
⚠️ Caveat on the numbers: Cost ranges are indicative and vary significantly with user count, modules, data complexity, and whether implementation is handled by the vendor, a partner, or internally. Always request a detailed scope and quote before deciding. See our cost guides for Abacum, Cube, Pigment, Drivetrain and Datarails.
Migration considerations: questions to ask
A platform migration is mostly a data, logic and process exercise — the software is the easy part. Before you commit to staying on HiBob or moving to an alternative, work through these:
- Do we actually run HiBob for HR? If yes, staying may genuinely be best. If no — and we have no plan to — the Finance Suite's core advantage doesn't apply to us.
- What did we build in Mosaic that must be recreated? Inventory your metrics, dashboards, 3-statement models, driver logic, and report packs before you talk to any vendor.
- How do our integrations move? Map every live ERP, CRM, HRIS and billing connection. Confirm each alternative supports your exact source systems — not just "integrations" in general.
- What's our renewal date and notice period? Use it as your timeline. Migrating before a renewal gives you negotiating leverage and a clean cut-over.
- Who owns the model after go-live? Mosaic was praised for self-service. Make sure your next platform doesn't trade that for permanent vendor dependency — ask for a live demo of your team editing the model.
- What's the all-in cost over three years? Licence plus implementation plus ongoing change support. Compare that to the re-bundled HiBob renewal, not just the old Mosaic price.
- Is this a tool problem or an operating-model problem? If your reporting pain ran deeper than Mosaic, swapping tools may not fix it — see the callout below.
Metapraxis advises on FP&A platform selection and migration as part of our Software Project Services and EPM consulting practice. Because we have no commercial tie to Mosaic, HiBob, or the alternatives above, our recommendation is shaped by your requirements — not by implementation revenue.

Frequently asked questions
What happened to Mosaic.tech?+
Mosaic.tech, the standalone strategic-finance platform founded in 2019, was acquired by HR-tech vendor HiBob in a deal announced in February 2025 (reported at around $35M). As of mid-2026, mosaic.tech redirects to HiBob and Mosaic's capabilities have been folded into HiBob's Finance Suite inside the Bob HCM platform. The independent Mosaic product is no longer sold or developed separately.
Is Mosaic still available as a standalone FP&A tool?+
No. As of mid-2026 Mosaic is not sold as an independent strategic-finance platform — its planning, reporting and metrics now live inside HiBob's Finance Suite. Existing customers are being supported through the transition, but the roadmap is now tied to HiBob's HCM-centric strategy rather than a vendor-neutral, ERP/CRM-first FP&A tool.
What are the best alternatives to Mosaic?+
The most relevant Mosaic alternatives for teams wanting a dedicated, vendor-neutral FP&A platform are Empower by Metapraxis, Abacum (SaaS finance), Cube (spreadsheet-native), Drivetrain (driver-based), Datarails (Excel-native) and Pigment (visual modelling). The right choice depends on whether you value the HiBob/HCM integration or specifically want to move away from it.
Do I have to move to HiBob now that Mosaic was acquired?+
No. An acquisition is a natural renewal trigger, not an obligation. If HiBob's HR-plus-finance vision fits your roadmap, staying on the Finance Suite may be sensible. If you bought Mosaic specifically as an independent, ERP/CRM-first tool — and don't want your FP&A platform anchored to an HCM suite — the transition is a sound moment to evaluate dedicated alternatives before your next renewal.
