Limelight review
A broad cloud FP&A platform for planning, consolidation, reporting, workforce planning, and AI.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Limelight is a cloud-based financial planning and analysis platform for finance leaders, FP&A teams, controllers, and CFOs. It brings budgeting, driver-based and rolling forecasting, scenario planning, workforce planning, financial modeling, consolidation, reporting, and narrative reporting into one environment. Teams can compare actuals with budgets and forecasts, manage headcount and compensation plans, and produce dashboards, financial statements, board reports, and drill-down analysis.
The published plans are Starter and Unlimited. Starter includes up to five users, while Unlimited includes unlimited users. Both plans include budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, reporting, scenario planning, narrative reporting, and AI. Pricing uses a contact-sales model, and there is no free plan. The main plan distinction is user capacity rather than a different feature set, which makes the choice relatively direct for teams evaluating access requirements.
Limelight’s ecosystem includes Sage Intacct, Infor, Deltek, Sage 300, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage X3, Oracle, SAP, Acumatica, Epicor, NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Plex, and HubSpot. That range supports organizations bringing together ERP, accounting, CRM, and other business data. Its breadth is a strong fit for teams that need connected planning across finance and workforce operations, including automated consolidation across teams and dimensions. Teams seeking a focused budgeting tool, a free entry tier, or a non-web deployment should consider a narrower alternative.
