CaptivateIQ is a sales performance management platform for compensation, planning and AI. It automates commission calculations and gives payees real-time visibility into earnings. Teams can manage sales capacity, quotas, territories, bonuses, approvals, payouts and plan simulations. Reporting includes real-time dashboards and compensation reports, while predictive modeling forecasts quota attainment and identifies payout anomalies. Assist AI accepts natural-language questions for troubleshooting formulas, searching documentation and optimizing plans. CaptivateIQ is available through web and API platforms, with integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, Workday and Snowflake, plus an open API for custom connections. Customer reporting is included with the subscription; ASC 606 reporting is an add-on subscription. Data uses TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. CaptivateIQ says it completes annual SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, with reports available by request. Pricing is a custom quote with per-seat pricing and a one-time setup fee based on payees, compensation complexity and integrations. Implementation may take two weeks to three months, and there is no free plan.
