Overview

Product Information on CostPerform

Updated 12th February 2026

What is CostPerform?

CostPerform is a cost and profitability modeling software designed to help finance teams clearly understand the drivers of cost, margin, and performance. Its architecture enables organizations to build driver-based cost models, allocate resources transparently across business units and processes, and measure profitability with confidence. The software supports advanced costing methodologies used across industries, such as activity-based costing (ABC), time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC), and multi-dimensional costing. These methods allow organizations to identify inefficiencies, optimize spending, and support pricing, investment, and regulatory decisions with defensible data. Integrated modeling and reporting features then provide clear visibility into financial data, cost structures, and performance insights to support strategic decision-making.

CostPerform Pricing

CostPerform software utilizes a tiered pricing model based on the number and type of users or licenses required, with additional fees for modules and implementation services. The software offers options for annual subscription as well as perpetual licensing, with costs varying according to organization size and customization needs. Maintenance and support are typically charged separately as ongoing annual fees.

CostPerform Likes & Dislikes

Like

I appreciate the flexibility CostPerform, as it is costing framework agnostic, it offers predictive analysis and scenario planning, and it has an ETL capability for automated data acquisition.

Like

The CostPerform platform enables users to create specific cost models that provide a clear understanding of program and service costs. The detailed model functionality helps users locate potential cost optimization areas while fine-tuning resource distribution.

Like

CostPerform provides great functionality for working with budgets and is significant for better defining budgets of an organization within the limits of a single year. One can easily keep track of allocations and negotiated costs by departments and the reports are easily understandable.

Dislike

It is not wizard driven so that models must be built manually, it has limited inherent dashboarding capabilities, and it does nit have pre-defined report generation options.

Dislike

Integration of external data sources proved challenging within CostPerform. The data silos created by CostPerform's existing limitations block users from obtaining a complete budgetary resource perspective.

Dislike

CostPerform lacks functionality for effective long-term planning. The data appear to be localized within the budget of the various years and it is almost impossible to find out whether the funds are needed in the next year or the subsequent years.

    By using CostPerform I could create an in-depth cost model for social welfare programs. The careful assignment of program costs allowed me to identify improvement possibilities in service delivery while locating potential cost-reduction areas.

    CostPerform Aids Transparency and Rational Decisions in Budgeting

    4.0
    Jan 20, 2025
    CostPerform has become especially useful during the creation of annual budget estimates. It motivates transparency and enables rational decision-making within that time framework. The application is limited as it cannot be used for historical data for lengthy financial planning.
