15Five Compensation review

15Five Compensation is a good fit for companies that use 15Five for reviews and want pay decisions tied to the performance data they already collect. The Compensation Base Package costs $9 per user per month billed annually and includes compensation reviews, pay ranges management, Total Rewards dashboards, an HRIS integration and full customization of base salary, OTE, equity, bonus and variable pay across multiple countries and currencies. The Compensation + Salary Benchmarking package costs $11 per user per month and adds Mercer real-time salary benchmarking, which gives a smaller HR team access to a large consultancy's data without a separate survey contract. The limits are depth and billing: there is no survey loading or job architecture tooling of the kind Payscale or Salary.com offer, and both packages are billed annually. Value is best when 15Five's Perform product is already in place.
