Peoplebox.ai Compensation review

Peoplebox.ai Compensation is the cheapest published way to run a structured comp cycle on this list. The add-on costs $5 per employee per month billed annually and sits on top of the Performance Management plan at $8 per employee per month, so a full setup is $13 per employee. For that, HR gets compensation planning with automatic budget limits and pay-equity rules, budget distribution with real-time analytics, multi-step approvals and branded compensation statements. Because performance reviews, 9-box calibration and OKRs run in the same product, managers can see ratings while they plan raises. Peoplebox.ai is not a market data vendor, though: there are no salary benchmarks, so you need ranges from a separate source such as Pave's free plan or SalaryCube. Larger compensation teams will also miss survey loading and job architecture tools.
