The AI compensation platform for benchmarking pay, pricing jobs, and running merit cycles.

Visit Pave

Pave is a compensation management platform that connects to HRIS, ATS, and equity management systems to centralize pay data and support compensation decisions. It addresses the problem of managing pay benchmarks, salary ranges, merit cycles, and employee communications across disconnected tools and spreadsheets.

The platform includes Market Data for real-time benchmarks, Market Pricing for setting pay ranges, Compensation Planning for merit cycles, Team View for manager dashboards, a Total Rewards Portal, and Visual Offer Letters. The Pave Agent automates multi-step compensation workflows and market analysis, grounded in company data and Pave's benchmarks, with connections via MCP and API.

Pave serves compensation and total rewards professionals, from startups to large enterprises. Packaging includes a free Market Data Lite plan for companies with 1–200 employees, Market Data Pro for enterprise benchmarks, and Workflows for compensation software, with demos available for premium offerings.
