The licensing is reasonably structured, although there's a minimum license requirement, which might be costly for small and medium-sized companies.
The cloud version reduces infrastructure costs since no servers or related staff are needed. However, it might feel expensive to small or mid-sized companies due to licensing requirements. Oracle prices are reasonable considering the services provided.

The cost of the solution is approximately $40,000 annually and the price is based on the company size and the number of users that have access to it. We are paying for the license and we do not pay any additional fees. The price of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is expensive. However, it solves a lot of issues at the company. Having a better price could make us think about using more cloud products for Oracle and increase usage.
