Best for salary benchmarking for HR teams
Figures is a pay benchmarking and salary review tool. The FAQ says the price depends on employee count and modules and sends you to book a demo. HRIS integration, SSO and extra seats are marked optional paid add-ons.
Who Figures is for
- Fits if you want market pay data for a salary review
- Works for teams that run in English or French, which the page says it supports
Who Figures is not for
- Skip it if you want a price: the page says it depends on headcount and modules
- Pricey if you want HRIS integration, SSO or extra seats, marked as paid add-ons
- Watch out: no free plan or trial, only a demo
- Too light for payroll or time off, which aren't described
Why Figures gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so there's nothing to set against the $2 to $9 a seat a month this category charges. That leaves it at C.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
- CFeaturesBenchmarks, salary bands, compensation reviews and pay transparency, but HRIS integration, SSO and extra seats are marked optional paid add-ons in the comparison table.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only on record, with no integrations listed.

Keep Figures, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Figures you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 101 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Figures’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
