Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 63 other HR software we grade
Pequity is compensation management software for pricing roles, running pay cycles, managing pay bands and routing approvals. It pairs spreadsheet-style planning with automation, and its homepage announces that Pequity has joined ADP. Pricing is by custom quote.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Pequity, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It publishes no price, has no free plan or trial, and its homepage says it has joined ADP, so packaging may change.

The report card
Best for pay bands and comp cycles, by quote
Pequity runs compensation cycles, pay ranges and offer pricing for HR teams. It publishes no price, has no free plan or trial, and its homepage says it has joined ADP, so packaging may change.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, only a custom quote, so it sits at the middle of the category by default. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. The pricing page is a quote request. |
| Features | C | Comp cycles, market data, approvals, range management, employee portals and a salary board. It is compensation software only and does not replace an HR records or payroll system. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A comp cycle needs your pay data loaded and ranges built before it does anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or apps on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Pequity is for
- Fits if you run annual pay review cycles and want approvals in one place
- Works for HR teams that already have an HR records system and only need comp planning
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to see a price first, because none is published
- Skip it if you want to try before buying, as there is no free plan or trial
- Too light for HR records or payroll, since it is compensation software only
- Watch out: the homepage says Pequity has joined ADP, so plans and sales may change
- Watch out: no integrations are listed on its pages
Good to know
Good for
- Companies with at least one person on a compensation team

Worth knowing
- No prices are published; Pequity asks for a custom quote, so this listing has no price.
- The homepage says Pequity has joined ADP, so packaging and sales may change.
- It is compensation software only and does not replace an HR records or payroll system.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Pequity's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published, only a custom quote, so it sits at the middle of the category by default.
We could not confirm Pequity’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. pequity.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Pequity 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: 51 of the 63 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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Pequity’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.
