In their own words
Comprehensive
Comprehensive is a web-based AI compensation platform for planning, communicating and benchmarking compensation. It supports configurable cycles for promotions, salary changes, bonuses and equity grants, with salary review and approval workflows, budget controls, compensation bands and an audit trail. Employee dashboards can show salary, bonuses, variable compensation, equity, benefits and other employer-provided rewards when the relevant data is available. Teams can manage pay ranges centrally and share them selectively by permission; formal ranges are optional for cycles. Analytics cover pay equity, demographic segments, promotion rates and market-position distributions. AI features include compensation data insights, job matching across data sources and personalized manager coaching. Listed integrations include HRIS, performance, compensation and equity tools such as Rippling, BambooHR, ADP Marketplace, Culture Amp, Carta and Shareworks. HRIS integrations typically sync daily, and syncing can be paused or run on demand; available fields depend on the HRIS. Benchmark coverage varies by role and dataset, and niche or hybrid roles may need blended benchmarks or internal calibration. Compensation management pricing is on request.
