Compare Compensation Planning Software
Compensation planning software helps organizations plan pay changes, bonuses and equity; the right choice depends on the compensation features you need and how well the product fits your existing HR systems.
Use the board’s signal score out of 10 as one comparison point. Its marks show whether a product has a public API, open-source code or a free plan; a free plan is different from a free trial.

How to choose
Which compensation plans do I need to manage?
Start with the pay decisions you need to plan. Compare merit, bonus and equity planning, along with budget controls, in the product details.
A product’s fit depends on the planning features your organization needs; a signal score does not tell you whether those features match your process.
Will it connect to my HR systems?
Check the listed HRIS integrations against the systems you already use. If a public API matters to your setup, check for that mark as well.
A public API is a way for software to exchange information with other software. The mark indicates whether one is listed, not whether a particular connection is available.
Can I use it on my devices?
Check the listed platforms before choosing. The board tracks web, iOS, Android, Windows and browser extensions; platform support can differ by product.
How can I compare plans and pricing?
Check whether a product has a free plan or a free trial, then review its paid pricing. These are separate options, and pricing may be listed as a starting rate or available on request.
For example, 15Five lists a starting price of $4 per user per month with annual billing, while ADP Compensation Management lists pricing on request.
Does it support the languages my team needs?
Compare the supported languages listed for the products you are considering. This helps you check whether the software fits the people who will use it.
Questions
What does compensation planning software do?
It supports planning for compensation decisions. Compare merit, bonus and equity planning, plus budget controls, to see whether a product covers your needs.
How do I check whether compensation software works with my HRIS?
Review the product’s listed HRIS integrations and compare them with the systems you use. Check for a public API mark if an API is important to your setup.
