Top-rated for **Overall Quality**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Payscale Intelligence: AI compresses the manual mechanics that have always defined compensation work. Job pricing returns a defensible range in a single step. The analysis leadership is going to ask for surfaces before they ask. Pay structures get modeled with intelligent assistance instead of from-scratch rebuilds. Contextual: Insights flow into workflows when decisions happen — not into reports read after the fact. Skills and demand intelligence embed directly in benchmarking, so pay reflects what the market values right now. Actionable: Every recommendation is grounded in market data, internal equity, and your budget constraints. Job pricing returns a salary range you can stand behind, with the rationale visible. Strategic Visibility: Tailored insights translate compensation data into business outcomes, reaching the leaders, managers, and HRBPs who make pay decisions every day. ## About the vendor - **Company**: Payscale - **Location**: Seattle, US - **Founded**: 2002 ## Commercial Context - **Pricing Details**: Contact Payscale for pricing information. - **Target Audience**: 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Canada, United States ## Features - Alerts/Notifications - Benchmarking - Bonus Management - Compensation Management - Compensation Plan Modeling - Compensation Statements - Customizable Reports - Customizable Templates - Dashboard - Data Import/Export - Data Visualization - Employee Reward Programs - Feedback Management - HR Management - Payroll Management - Predictive Modeling - Real-Time Analytics - Real-Time Data - Recruitment Management - Reporting/Analytics ## Integrations (4 total) - ADP Workforce Now - BambooHR - Tableau - UKG Pro ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Chat ## Category - [Compensation Management Software](https://www.getapp.com.au/directory/733/compensation-management/software) ## Related Categories - [Compensation Management Software](https://www.getapp.com.au/directory/733/compensation-management/software) - [Talent Management Software](https://www.getapp.com.au/directory/263/talent-management/software) - [HR Analytics Software](https://www.getapp.com.au/directory/1163/hr-analytics/software) - [PEO Software](https://www.getapp.com.au/directory/3015/peo/software) ## Alternatives 1.

Payscale has been great to work with when we've sent job descriptions over to benchmark compensation within our industry and has given us great insight on where our pay strategy needs to be. > > **Cons**: Benchmarking hasn't been a breeze for all of our positions, but that's mostly because we have some unique, specialized positions. ----- ### "Good information as a base" — 4.0/5 > **Meg** | *30 November 2019* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think this gives a good idea where a position is valued as a starting point. I think more information is helpful. > > **Cons**: I don't like that the information in totally accurate for all positions nor do I believe that it should be taken as gold. It's a starting point. Not the end all, be all. What is the value of the employee? Not what is everyone else worth to everyone else\! > > I'm not very impressed since there is no way to determine where the numbers come from or how many it is based off of. ----- ### "Poor data, poor interface, poor service" — 1.0/5 > **Margaret** | *2 April 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing - could not find one redeeming feature. > > **Cons**: Difficult user interface - not intuitive. Not good comps available, so data meaningless > > I barely used the product; tried to terminate in 2019, was told that I could not (not true). Just terminated last year of contract, getting charged $800 to terminate. Payscale has no commitment to customer success. ----- ### "PayScale is a necessary tool to know what market value pay is for professional roles." — 5.0/5 > **CHRISTIAN** | *7 June 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PayScale helps you determine market rates and is a great help to any HR Department and employee. I find it to be fairly accurate to current marketplace pay rates and it is a trustworthy reflection of the current pay scale. If you need to gather supporting data and information on pay rates, this is a good source. > > **Cons**: It can be a little one note, but it is targeted for a specific purpose, so it cannot be faulted for that. > > The ability to use real data in order to estimate market rates for pay. This accuracy proves necessary for anyone in HR or an employee wanting to get a better idea of financial brackets for their roles. ----- ### "Curo's Team is very responsive" — 4.0/5 > **MARY** | *8 March 2019* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Their team worked diligently with us on an aggressive go live date. Their staff were very helpful as we worked through issues and found resolutions through UAT instances. It's important that clients thoroughly test their data. > > **Cons**: Managers are missing the ability to indicate when they have reviewed certain recommendations. For Sr level management which everything rolls up to, it makes it difficult to pick up where they left off in the process. Something to think about. > > Experience with staff and platform was positive. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/113675/payscale?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/113675/payscale) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
