The Best Pry Alternative for SaaS Founders (2026)

Pry (pry.co), the "Figma of finance" that replaced Excel for founders, was acquired by Brex for $90M in 2022, folded into Brex, and wound down; pry.co now redirects to brex.com. Founders who relied on it have publicly asked what to switch to. For a SaaS company, the best replacement is an independent, SaaS-native forecasting tool, one whose only product is forecasting, so it will not be sunset in someone else's reorg. This guide covers the real options and how to move your model.

Pry was genuinely good at what founders loved: a visual, collaborative, low-barrier way to model budget, hiring, burn, and runway without a finance background. But it was welded to Brex's card and banking product, and once forecasting stopped serving that core, it was discontinued. That is the recurring pattern in this category, Causal (acquired by Lucanet) and Finmark (shut down inside BILL) went the same way. If you are moving off Pry, the lesson is to pick a tool where forecasting is the whole business.

What Pry users need in a replacement

• Excel-replacement ease, visual, collaborative, low finance barrier, Pry's core appeal.
• Stronger revenue modeling, Pry's single biggest complaint was thin revenue forecasting and no first-class SaaS metrics; you built them with custom formulas.
• Independence, forecasting that is not tied to a bank account or card product that can kill it.
• Cash, burn, runway and a three-statement view, what Pry did well, kept.

The honest alternatives

Adlega is our pick for SaaS founders leaving Pry, and it directly answers Pry's worst gap. Where Pry made you hand-build revenue with custom formulas, Adlega ships MRR/ARR, churn, CAC, LTV, burn, and runway as native, driver-based outputs across a 36-month, three-statement forecast. It is self-serve with a free plan (paid from $49/month), includes an AI CFO that explains every number, and, critically, it is independent: we do not sell you a card or a bank account, so forecasting will not be sunset to serve a different core product.

Other options founders consider:

• Runway, polished operating dashboards for seed to Series B; leans more toward company-wide planning than deep SaaS-metric modeling.
• Jirav, powerful three-statement forecasting, but accounting-firm-led, around $10,000/year, and no free trial. Heavier than most ex-Pry founders want.
• A spreadsheet, viable again if you are early; see the full comparison.

Pry vs Adlega

How to move your model off Pry

1. Export what you can from Pry or Brex, plus your accounting (QuickBooks/Xero) and billing data.
2. Rebuild driver-first. A SaaS-native tool is driver-based, so you re-enter a handful of assumptions (starting MRR, growth, churn, ACV, hiring plan) rather than rebuilding formulas. Use the SaaS financial model guide as the blueprint.
3. Fix the gap Pry left, set up real MRR/ARR, churn, CAC and LTV so revenue is modeled properly this time.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pry still available?

No. Pry was acquired by Brex and wound down; pry.co redirects to brex.com and the standalone product is no longer offered.

What is the best Pry alternative for a SaaS startup?

For SaaS founders who want native revenue metrics (Pry's weakest area) plus independence from a banking product, Adlega is the closest fit: SaaS-native, driver-based, self-serve, with an AI CFO.

Why did Pry shut down?

Brex acquired Pry and later discontinued it. To a card and banking company, forecasting is a feature rather than a core business, which is exactly why an independent forecasting tool is the safer long-term choice.

Can I keep my Pry model?

Export whatever you can while you still have access, then rebuild in a driver-based tool. Because these tools are assumption-driven, rebuilding is re-entering drivers, not migrating every cell.
