Our verdict on Cast
Cast is a browser-based financial modeling tool for private equity, credit, FP&A, corporate finance, and project finance teams. Its modeling toolkit covers time-series forecasts, covenant pass/fail checks with headroom, sensitivity grids, scenario comparison, Monte Carlo analysis, industry benchmarks, dependency tracing, and Excel export with live formulas. AI-assisted model generation and editing extends the workflow, while live market and accounting data connectors support ongoing model inputs.
Pricing is structured around three monthly options. The Free plan costs $0 forever and includes forecasts and scenarios, covenants, sensitivity grids, benchmarks, Monte Carlo, Excel export with live formulas, 60 AI credits per month, and 3 saved models. Free share links expire after 7 days. Pro costs $15 per month and adds presentation links, 1,000 AI credits per month, unlimited saved models, permanent share links, and priority support. Teams costs $40 per seat per month and adds shared live models, visibility into who saved what and when, snapshot links for outsiders, and 1,000 AI credits per seat per month for every seat.
Cast fits teams that need detailed scenario work without starting with a paid subscription. QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, and public REST APIs provide accounting and external data connections, while audit trails and version visibility support review workflows. The main trade-offs are its web-only platform, the Free plan's saved-model limit, and per-seat Teams billing. Choose Cast if covenant analysis, sensitivity testing, probabilistic outputs, Excel compatibility, and accounting connections are central requirements. Consider another option if a desktop application or an Excel add-in is essential; Cast does not provide an Excel add-in.
