Key takeaways
- Pigment's 14-day, AI-guided free trial gives prospects a private workspace to build with, not a demo
- Users build with their own data or an industry-matched dataset, then run scenarios and invite colleagues to review
- An AI agent turns a plain-language description into a working planning model and interactive board, a process Pigment calls Intent Modeling
- No credit card or sales call is required to start
- The trial replaces the usual scoping call and demo built on someone else's data with direct access to Pigment's real planning product
AI changed how people evaluate software: they build first and decide later. Pigment's 14-day, AI-guided free trial brings that same immediacy to enterprise planning, with no demo required.
The Pigment free trial is a 14-day, private workspace where an AI agent turns a plain-language description of your planning problem into a working model and interactive board, using your own data or an industry-matched dataset, no sales call required.
Think about the last AI tool you tried. You probably didn't wait weeks to find out if it worked. You described what you wanted, and you had a working result in minutes.
That expectation has moved fast. Enterprise planning hasn't kept pace. Prospects evaluating a platform like Pigment, Anaplan, or Workday Adaptive Planning often start with a scoping call, then watch a demo built on someone else's data, before they ever touch the product themselves.
Pigment's free trial changes that. Prospects can build with Pigment directly, using their own data or a sample dataset, and judge the fit for themselves.
AI reset what "trying a product" means
Tools like Cursor, Lovable, and Replit made complex software accessible through a chat-first experience. Users didn't need to learn the tool first. They described what they wanted to build, and the tool built it.
That shift created 3 expectations that now apply well beyond developer tools: intelligence should be accessible without training, value should show up immediately, and adoption should happen through the work people are already doing, not through a separate onboarding process.
Planning software carries a complication those coding tools don't. A budget model or a headcount plan needs trusted data, consistent calculations, and governance over who can see and change what. Pigment's free trial gives prospects direct access to Pigment's real planning product, governance included, not a stripped-down preview.
How is the Pigment trial different from a demo?
A demo is someone else driving, on someone else's data, for as long as the call runs. A proof of concept usually means a signed agreement and a Pigment team building the model on your behalf over several weeks. The free trial removes both constraints:
- Who builds it: You do, through a plain-language conversation with the AI agent, not a sales engineer on a screen share
- Whose data it runs on: Yours, uploaded directly, or an industry-matched sample, not a generic pre-built example
- How long it takes: Minutes to a first working model, not a scheduled call or a multi-week scoping process
A prospect who finishes building, modifies the model, and invites a colleague into the workspace has tested the actual product against their actual planning problem. That's a different kind of signal than sitting through a slide deck.
What can you build during the Pigment free trial?
The trial gives each user a private Pigment workspace for 14 days from first log in. During that window, an AI agent asks what you want to build and generates a structured model and interactive board from your answers. That process is what Pigment calls Intent Modeling: describing your planning intent in plain language and getting a governed model back, instead of building formulas and structure by hand.
Inside the 14 days, you can build:
- A budget model — set up budget categories, allocate across departments, and compare against actuals
- A P&L model — structure revenue and cost lines into a working profit-and-loss view
- A headcount plan — map roles, costs, and timing against hiring plans
Users can upload their own data, such as a CSV or Excel file, or start with a Pigment-provided dataset matched to their industry. No Pigment training, no credit card, and no sales call are required to start. Once the first model exists, users can keep modifying it, run scenarios, upload more data, and invite colleagues into the workspace to review it together.
Usage limits apply during the trial, including caps on data storage, calculation capacity, and AI credits.
Starting the evaluation without a sales call
Most enterprise planning vendors still gate trials behind a sales conversation: fill out a form, and someone reaches out to set it up. Pigment's trial removes that step. Users register on their own, the workspace provisions automatically, and the AI agent starts building within minutes, with no sales conversation required to get started.
Build something real in 14 days
The fastest way to know whether Pigment fits your planning problem is to build with it. Start a free trial: 14 days, no credit card required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pigment free trial?
It's a 14-day trial that gives you a private Pigment workspace where an AI agent helps you build a planning model and interactive board from a plain-language description of what you need.
How is the Pigment free trial different from a demo?
A demo is guided by someone else, usually on pre-built data. The trial is a real Pigment workspace where you build your own model, using your own data, and judge the fit yourself.
Is the Pigment free trial a real product or a demo?
It's direct access to Pigment's real planning product, not a guided demo. Usage limits apply to data storage, calculation capacity, and AI credits during the trial.
Do I need a credit card to start the Pigment free trial?
No. You don't need a credit card to sign up or use the trial.
How long does the Pigment free trial last?
The trial lasts 14 days from your first log in. After that, your workspace moves to read-only, and you can still view your model and board but can't edit them.
