- The page says teams answer questions in English and French.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** No 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
- **Features: C.** Benchmarks, salary bands, compensation reviews and pay transparency, but HRIS integration, SSO and extra seats are marked optional paid add-ons in the comparison table.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only on record, with no integrations listed.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
