Feature-free forever

One platform. Everything you need to make fair pay decisions.

Forget modular pricing. No more "Plans, Packages or Tiers". Simply choose a product and only ever pay extra for two things: more users on the platform or more data sources connected.

Why our pricing is different

Fair pricing, built for HR budgets that are always tight.

HR teams shouldn't have to upgrade their plan to finish the job they started. We've designed pricing to remove that frustration.

No upgrade fees

Get everything you need without paying to unlock modules or features. Search benchmarks, build pay bands, run reviews, share with managers - it's all included from day one.

No per-country pricing

You can benchmark salaries globally with our core platform. Add or compare a new market without raising a change order or buying another module.

Pay only for what you need

Two things change the cost: more users on the platform, or adding more data. That's it. No surprise mid-contract upgrades.

What powers your benchmarks

Three data sources included. Two optional add-ons.

Salary Benchmarking comes with three datasets out of the box. Mercer salary survey data is available as an optional add-on for industries where it's the recognised market leader.

Best for All

Job postings data

200,000+ job boards and company websites scraped for live salary range data, powered by Lightcast.

What customers say

Trusted by HR teams who value data, not guesswork.

There's a lot of benchmarks on there. Compensation IQ is capturing a lot of data, and that's what stood out to me - and having a lot of benchmarks gives me a lot of confidence.
Angharad Callaghan Senior People & Culture Partner, Instant Impact
When I've given the data behind it, no one's challenged it. We've shared it. The first question is always 'where did you get this?' - and now we have the answer.
Craig Steed Global Head of Talent, Zoomo
It's all well and good having a polished platform with all the right words on there. But it's sort of meaningless. All of that information is just estimated. I'd rather us have a platform where you can really break down the data and make it mean something in our progression framework - rather than something that's just a wrapper around AI-estimated data.
Emily Anshaw Head of People Operations, About:Energy

Frequently asked questions

How is Compensation IQ priced?

Pricing is banded by your employee headcount and billed annually in GBP. Global Salary Benchmarking is £4,100 per year for organisations with 100 to 200 employees.

We have headcount bands running from 0 to 100 all the way up to 5,000+ employees. Job Architecture and Levelling is free for every customer. Request a quote for pricing tailored to your team size.

Do I pay extra for additional countries?

No. Global benchmarking is included as standard with Salary Benchmarking. There is no per-country charge and no upgrade required to benchmark roles in additional markets.

This is a deliberate difference from traditional salary survey providers and from newer platforms that charge per country or per region.

Are there per-feature upgrade costs?

No. Compensation IQ is feature-free forever. Once you subscribe to Salary Benchmarking you get the full product including search, salary band builder, pay review tools, leadership reports, manager support, organisational metrics and people and cost insights.

We will never ask you to upgrade a tier or unlock a module to finish a job.

What happens if my headcount grows mid-contract?

We do not charge mid-contract for headcount changes. If your headcount has moved into a new band by your renewal date, we'll re-quote based on your new band at that point. You will never receive an unexpected mid-year invoice for hiring.

How many users are included?

Salary Benchmarking includes 2 super users with full platform access as standard. Job Architecture and Levelling includes 1 super user. Additional super users can be added in bundles.

Manager access is handled separately via the platform's role permissions.

Is Job Architecture and Levelling really free?

Yes. Job Architecture and Levelling is free for every customer with no time limit. You can upload your org data, run levelling, map to 20+ external frameworks including Mercer, Korn Ferry and WTW, score every match for confidence and export your results.

Use it standalone or as the foundation for Salary Benchmarking and EU Pay reporting.

What about Mercer salary survey data?

Mercer salary survey data is available as an optional one-off data add-on, purchased per country and per headcount band. It sits alongside our included data sources (job postings, self-reported and real-time customer data) and is particularly useful for non-tech industries where Mercer is the recognised market reference.

Talk to us in your demo for pricing.

Is there a free trial of Salary Benchmarking?

There is no self-serve free trial of Salary Benchmarking. We onboard every customer through a demo so we can show you live data for your specific roles, country and industry.

If you want to start with the free Job Architecture and Levelling app, book a 30-minute onboarding session and we'll set you up.

What is included in onboarding and support?

Every customer gets guided onboarding with no implementation fees, 1:1 training for you and your team, a dedicated Customer Success Manager, product help on hand during UK business hours, free access to 50+ HRIS integrations, and our HR resource library.

None of this is locked behind a higher tier.

Are prices in GBP and do they include VAT?

Prices are quoted in GBP and are exclusive of VAT and local taxes. Invoices are issued in GBP and payment is due in advance of the software licence commencement date.

We can show approximate EUR equivalents on request.

Pricing tailored to your team.
