Pequity

🎯 Should you use Pequity?

Buy if: You close 50+ technical hires a year and need one system for pay bands, equity modeling, and offer approvals that syncs with your ATS.

Skip if: You hire fewer than 30 people annually or your CFO already owns compensation planning in a separate finance tool.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: 2-4 weeks with implementation team
• ●Offer modeling: Build multiple scenarios before exec review
• ●Pay band updates: Sync changes across roles without spreadsheets

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●No published pricing means you negotiate blind against their enterprise minimum seat count.
• ●Custom rules require their support team if your comp logic gets complex.

💸 Is it worth the money?

Expect $20,000-$40,000 annually for teams under 100 employees based on competitor benchmarks. Worth it if offer approval cycles currently take 3+ days or you track equity grants in Google Sheets.

🆚 If not this

• ●Assemble -> lighter lift for startups doing seed-to-Series-A comp planning
• ●Pave -> better market data benchmarking if you need real-time location adjustments
• ●Kamsa -> cheaper alternative if you only need pay band management without equity modeling

🎯 Final verdict

Buy when compensation complexity justifies the price tag and implementation lift, skip if simple spreadsheets still close your offers in 24 hours.
