Pave
Real-time compensation benchmarking and merit-cycle management.
About
Pave is a modern compensation platform that pulls real-time pay data through HRIS integrations instead of stale annual surveys. It covers benchmarking, AI-assisted job mapping, salary-band creation, merit cycles, bonus calculations, and employee-facing total-rewards dashboards.
Market Data Lite is free for companies up to 200 employees (US plus one more market); paid plans start around $799 per month and scale with headcount. Data is strongest in North America — coverage thins elsewhere — and very narrow benchmark cuts can have small sample sizes, so sanity-check niche roles.
