In their own words
CloudComp
CloudComp is a Salesforce-native sales commission management app for tracking and paying commissions. Its package runs within Salesforce without middleware or external SaaS systems, and inherits controls including SSO/MFA, permission sets, field-level security, and audit history. CloudComp supports multi-tier plans, year-to-date attainment, team quotas, and bonus triggers based on revenue, margin, quantity, or custom metrics. Commission guidance is available through CloudComp Assistant; CloudComp Statement presents live trends and period breakdowns. Payment schedules can be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or custom, with recoverable and non-recoverable draws. It can post clawbacks for cancellations, de-bookings, refunds, or downgrades, with audit trails and optional approvals, and produce configurable export files for payroll or accounts payable. CloudComp supports dated exchange rates and user-specific payout currencies. Core costs $34 a month with an annual subscription, per user, and a five-user minimum; Core + Insights costs 39.00 USD on the same terms. Each install includes a functional 30-day evaluation with no card required to install.
