Pave

What is Pave?

Pave is a compensation management platform for compensation and total rewards teams that need market pay data, pricing and planning in one place. It describes itself as an AI compensation platform and pulls benchmarks from integrated company data, with more than 9,000 companies contributing, according to the vendor. The Pave Agent is an AI assistant grounded in that data.

Key features of Pave

• Market Data: real-time salary and equity benchmarks, free in the Lite tier and expanded in Pro.

• Compensation Planning: set up merit cycles, recommendation logic and cycle tracking.
• Team View: manager dashboards showing pay position, compa-ratio and team health.
• Total Rewards: a personalized employee portal showing the full pay and benefits package.

• Pave Agent: an AI analyst that runs merit cycle simulations and automates multi-step tasks within each user's permissions.

How Pave works

Pave connects to HRIS, payroll, ATS and equity systems so company data flows in on a persistent basis, and contributes anonymized data to the benchmark set. AI job matching maps your roles to the market, and teams then price ranges, plan cycles and share pay information with managers and employees.

Who uses Pave?

Compensation, HR and total rewards teams at growth-stage and larger companies, plus finance and people leaders who set pay ranges and run merit cycles. Individual teams can start with the free benchmark tier before buying workflow modules.

Pave pricing

Market Data Lite is free and includes benchmarks for 290+ job families in the U.S. plus one additional market. Market Data Pro, Agentic Market Intelligence and Agentic Workflows are paid tiers with pricing on request, and add-ons such as Compensation Planning, Team View, Total Rewards and Visual Offer Letter are also quoted.

Pave integrations

Pave connects to HRIS, payroll, ATS and equity management systems, and imports traditional compensation surveys. It lists an iCIMS offer letter integration, an alliance with Levels.fyi and MCP access for AI tools such as ChatGPT and Cursor.

Pave alternatives

Rippling and BambooHR are HR platforms with basic compensation features, while Pave specializes in benchmark data and comp planning. Deel and TriNet focus on payroll, employment and HR services rather than market pay benchmarking.
