Workday pricing model
Workday licenses HCM, Financial Management, Adaptive Planning and its other modules as annual per-FSE (Full-Suite Employee) subscriptions, priced on a sliding scale by the customer's total employee count -- organizations above 3,500 FSEs pay a different (usually lower) per-FSE rate than smaller ('LDP') customers on the identical SKU. Larger add-on platforms (Adaptive Planning, Accounting Center, Strategic Sourcing) are instead sold as a flat annual base fee for an included block of users or capacity, plus a per-additional-user or per-additional-instance charge.
