Clive vs Lative

Clive is an AI modeling system for FP&A teams to build financial models, reports, and views. Users can describe a model or report in plain language, then edit the modeling blocks assembled by its AI co-builder. Its engine is designed to return the same result for the same inputs. Teams can edit together in real time, comment, receive notifications, and review version history. Clive supports financial forecasting and scenario planning across dimensions such as segment, team, territory, account, industry, and region. It connects to ERP, HRIS, CRM, data, and BI systems, as well as Excel, Google Sheets, and CSV; the integrations page lists 50+ native connectors. Data can refresh on a schedule or on demand, with integration status monitoring. A public API and MCP access support querying live model data and performing supported actions from connected tools. Clive says customer data is encrypted, hosted in AWS facilities in the USA, and excluded from partner use including model training. The Free plan is a 1-week trial with monthly AI and compute credits; Starter is $224 a month billed annually.

Lative is a web-based go-to-market planning and decision intelligence platform for CROs, RevOps teams and Finance teams. Its Planning module uses live capacity models for short- and long-term plans and what-if scenarios. Teams can track quota attainment, pipeline health and coverage against plan, along with revenue per rep, ramp times, tenure performance and pipeline contribution across dimensions including team, territory, product, individual, segment and opportunity type. Marketing Intelligence connects campaigns, attribution signals and pipeline interactions to revenue. The product page says Agentic AI generates executive summaries from go-to-market data. Lative supports 150+ data sources, including native Salesforce Sales Cloud and HubSpot connections and connections to HRIS, finance platforms and data warehouses such as Snowflake. Starter is $5,000 a year for up to 20 quota-bearing reps; Growth is $10,000 a year for 21 to 150 reps. Enterprise is custom priced for organizations with 151 or more reps.
