CompAce

What CompAce is

CompAce is a web-based compensation platform for organisations and people teams handling pay decisions across job structures, salary reviews, promotions and ongoing compensation. It brings compensation data, role and salary structures, controls, workflows, insights and reporting into one place. For benchmarking, teams can use their own data or CompAce benchmarks, with AI-powered matching of roles and levels and pay-band modelling. Salary Reviews includes budget planning, guided workflows, manager recommendations, calibration and approvals. Its Ace AI assistant answers natural-language questions using an organisation’s compensation data and offers insights and recommendations. Teams can upload data directly or connect an HRIS through an integration. Executive remuneration benchmarking draws on ASX-listed company data and can be filtered by role, company, market capitalisation, size and sector. CompAce also supports job matching, pay equity analysis, custom peer groups and real-time data refresh. The maker states that it is SOC 2 Type II compliant and ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest; the service also describes default MFA, auditable access logs and regular third-party penetration tests. Plans are billed monthly in AUD, excluding GST, with employee caps on the three priced tiers.
