The short answer
Vena doesn't list prices publicly [3]. Vendr's buyer data puts the median at $34,286 per year, with a wide range from $9,343 to $73,500, and reports that buyers save 22% on average off initial quotes [1]. That wide range is the story: Vena can be a modest Excel-native budgeting deployment or a multi-module FP&A-plus-close platform.
Plans
Vena sells packaged tiers (Professional and Complete, per a 2026 cost guide [2]) with add-on products listed on its site [3]. Prices are by quote.
Vena Copilot pricing
"Vena Copilot pricing" is one of the most searched Vena questions, and there is no public answer. Vena describes Copilot as its native assistant, built on Microsoft's Azure OpenAI service [7], but publishes no standalone price, and we found no reliable third-party figure. We won't guess. Ask your rep three things: is Copilot included in your tier, is it metered, and is it priced per user or per org?
Vena + Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot (MCP)
Separately from its own Copilot, Vena now offers a generally available MCP server [6] that lets outside assistants query your Vena data. Vena documents setup for Claude (org connector), ChatGPT (workspace app) and Microsoft Copilot Studio (MCP tool) [4].
- Read-only today. The MCP server retrieves and analyzes data; saving back goes through Vena's Excel template add-in [5].
- Permissions carry over. Users only see what their Vena permissions allow [5].
- SSO caveat. MCP is not supported when Force SSO is enabled; SSO orgs need Vena passwords or application tokens for MCP users [4][5].
- Cost: Vena's docs don't say whether MCP is an add-on. Marked Unverified in our tracker.
